It took me a month to receive first check when i got laid off 8 years ago after working at the same place for 20 years. It happens to the best. Will be praying for success in finding employment very soon.

I've been on unemployment 1 time over the last 10yrs, I hate dealing with those people and refuse to do so again. I'll work whatever little odd jobs I can find, it usually ends up being about the same pay lol. The state shorts my monthly pay a LOT when receiving benefits. I'm in line waiting for a job actually working as a plant employee instead of a contractor. I'll take whatever I can get for now, but I'm really hoping I get selected for the plant position.

I appreciate your words Abraham. I'm hoping here before too long this opportunity with the plant will come to fruition. That would be the best thing I can hope for at this point in time because it will essentially set me up in a position that I can hang onto for the rest of my working adult life. I am almost 30 years old and don't have a whole lot to show for it in the way of a career. I have been a electrical contractor for the last 9 or 10 years and get tired of getting laid off after 6 months or a year of work and all of a sudden the money dries up and basically just on your own until something else comes up, that kind of pattern just does not jive with the way life and bills go.

To be completely honest I've never really been a very religious person. But I'm to the point that I really need something to happen and hopefully A change is on its way. I was laid off of work almost a month ago, and did really couldn't have come at a worse time there are just too many things to account for and pay for it and worry about. I'm at the point now where the only thing I really have any value is my concealed carry firearm. And it's looking more and more like I'm going to have to pawn it just to get through the next week. I have some opportunities in front of me, one that I've been trying to get for a long time and that is a stable job actually working for a chemical plant instead of just a contractor. But it requires acquiring a license that I do not currently hold and have to pay for. On top of the bill that just keep coming whether or not you're working.


Not really looking for sympathy your hand out or anything I don't even know why I'm posting this here. Like I said I've never been a very religious person but at this point something has got to give.
