of the unemployed soon.
got my notice a few weeks back, i'll be laid off as of 12/31, so starting my job search now. we're already down from 4500 employees early last yr to 2800 currently, co. is letting alot of people go over 1k within the next 3-4 mos next door neighbor works at same co, his last day is 12/24 merry F-in X-mas. sucky is that he's the sole breadwinner, and makes 6-figures. luckily for us Z has a good job and we'll keep our heads above water, but it sucks nonetheless. we're debating on whether Z should concentrate on school and take all the classes next semester (3 more classes till she finishes her masters) or work an extra days or 2 a week and take 1 or 2 classes and finish in the fall we'll be taking april outta daycare as no need if i'm at the house. heck i gotta make $15+/hr (after taxes) just to clear daycare and unemployment. first time i've ever been unemployed, and engineering looks pretty bleak, 8 job titles for my type of work in TX and really only 2 of those apply on monster.com for pauldn, we're still debating on keeping the cleaning lady....... ![]()

That really sucks. I've got a few friends here in Tulsa in the same boat. I've been lucky so far.

At least you are in a position where Z can carry the financial burden. However...this may be a great time for you if you will be taking care of the kids. Its a lot of work, lot of fun and you will cherish the time you spent with them. |

3 people left my old co. and joined this current 1. 1 was laid off 1 mos ago, i'm getting laid off, the other is going to russia 6 weeks on, 3 weeks off...... my neighbor is trying heavily to get a job in St Louis, where they came from before this job. and being the housing market is also down there's no way he'd be able to sell.

He is a fat engineer.
![]() Can you take courses paid for by unemployment? Might be a good time to look into expanding your skill set.

![]() ![]() ![]() Sorry Ed had too If you weren't so rooted in fuel I'd say move up here, but from the last numbers I heard, Charlotte architects are at 40% unemployment with engineers running close behind. I'm just very blessed to be as busy as we are (for now)
