[QUOTE="Backlasher, post: 649821, member: 6276"] Thanks, your okay in my books. I've learned from previous job struggles to adjust my budget accordenly. it's hard to endure for so long though. I understand the economy is what it is and middle age isn't exactly old but it's hard to start from the bottom all over again so late in life. I droped out of college with hopes of a good future in jobs of my past that were great at the time and I put all my heart and drive into them, like masonry. I started out basic labour digging out frozen ground, shoveling snow out before pouring out concrete footers in the middle of winter storms, torching block to melt off the ice and dry em out so we cold build, mixing calcium in mortor to keep it workable in the freezing temps. worked my way up to crew leadr and laying block. Man, I've killed myself over the years just for it all to constantly fall apart and now this. It's the truth but the truth is hard to except. Even when my dispatch at UPS is lite I still bust my tail to get it off early cause I know that others are struggling to get their air off and maybe I can make a difference and bail them out. It's hard to do that and then go into my other full time job and handle up to 400 pound tables and huge solid wood bookcases with glass doors till 830 at night knowing that I could be laid off tommarrow at UPS which I hope for as a career. My other job cut us 20% pay due to the "economy" even though business is booming for them, they like many places are extorting the economical circumstances I understand the corporate reasons for things, it's business. I can't say that I would do things differently if I was in that position cause if I was I probably wouldn't be who I am today. I just wish it wasn't this way. [/QUOTE]
