To sweeten the deal the larger city department that I have been testing with is on a mother lovin hiring freeeeeze,all this after over a year of head examinations, polygraphs, a cagillion bubble sheet ?s physical agility test, interviews and a final kick in the nads "not this year and most likely not 2010 either, so just be ready to test all over for the next time we test."

[Collin]

unemployed, Worked at a steel fabrictaion plant running the powder coating line for 2 years. Got fired for not having a Dr note when I had a note. The company closed its doors shortly after I left.
That started my unemployment March of 08. Was on it till Aug of 08 untill I went to work setting modular homes up and down the east coast. That lasted till Dec of 08 and I have been collecting unemployment since.
Sucks because I have drove atleast 1.5 hours away to find a job and still come up short with nothing. So unemployment till it runs out and selling e30 parts pays my bills.

Want to sweep up popcorn with me?

[ldsbeaker]

I have a contract until 2013, then I'll only have 3 years till retirement. Woohooo!

[2Big4a3Series]

Self employed. I make enough to survive and pay my bills but I hate having to cut my prices to get work and to remain competitive.
