Do (did) we work for the same company? We just had another round of layoffs today as well. I survived another one, its getting pretty scary.

No question this economy is truly scary. It's starting to works its way to our industry. Whats scary about that? We sell to the government.

Man. I'm very sorry to hear this news, Mr. dayzeofthenew. Did you receive some kind of severance? I hope so.
As for a new vocation, I'm thinking something along the lines of male model for places like Man Boob Monthly or Modern Gynecomastiac. FAX |

Not sure what you mean by "building" but if you were one of those guys who climbed monopole towers to do the wiring hookups - whatever you were paid, it's not enough.
I wouldn't mind it every once in a while when I'm on my game for shits and giggles but to do that every day is kinda nuts. You know you're going to be sporting a hangover one of those days and goof up. At least I would. |

I used to work for a construction company that had also previously done microwave towers. One day we got a call from GTE wanting a light bulb replaced on a tower in arizona. We had a guy drive from Kansas to AZ, climb a 2100' tower, swap the bulb, and come home. He had some good stories about building towers in the old days. They'd rent a car, drive it to the site, take off a wheel, bolt on a contraption they'd made, and use the driveshaft as a winch to raise sections and equipment up the tower. Sleep in the car at night.....made a killing on their per diems. |

Dude, that sucks.
I'd love to be able to make a crack about government bailouts, but it wouldn't be in good taste. Hope things turn around for you quickly.

Yeah, sorry to hear about that, man. My younger brother just got laid off yesterday, so it's really nagging him about it.

The place I worked at got shut down this summer, some of you might remember. I got a job about a month later and its 100x better than my last one. I'm sure everything will work out for you and best of luck!
