Thread: Lost my job... what a great way to start the day

My boss announced this morning that he is closing the lab and moving it to another state. Id' have a job at his new location but it's 1000 mi away and I can't sell my house in this economy, and wouldn't move for that crappy pay anyway. That's on top of all the crap I already had going on.
What. The. Fuck.
I NEED to vent. And I intend to spend the next month scouring Craigslist for something perfect for a chemist-hydro tech-bar manager- graphic designer- agriculture instructor-stringed instrumenet repair person-line cook- tutor- substitute teacher- commercial fisherman- lab tech- lab equipment maintenance specialist- landscape technician- FUCK, someone with a resume like mine should have no problems finding a job but the newspapers are just FULL of accounting, nursing, and AVON sales ads... I'm SO fucked. So, SOOO, SOOOOO fucked.

Wow man sorry about your job loss, ironic tho i just quit like 30 mins ago.

Some girl with a big mouth got on my last nerve.

Worst part about loosing your job is a potential drug test for new one.

Stinky, that sucks. Sorry.

I bet everyone you've helped will keep their eyes and ears open, and find you new position.

You would be wonderful addition to any employer's roster. You can always come stay with me. I could use your expertise. What are your thoughts on KY?

I know this doesn't help, but keep your chin up.

I joined that club last year. Only the strong survive.

Shitting hell, sorry stinky. With all you've got going FOR you in that clever head of yours I would think that getting another job would be a piece of piss, or at least it should be. Try not to get discouraged.

Going on two years now with a similiar background to yours, (except the chemistry part) gonna be tough out there, hang on to your shorts. Im sure you will be fine though...

It sucks not having a job. I've had too many already and I'm not even out of college yet!! Luckily Iowa has a seemingly unlimited supply of hog confinments, so if someone really needs a job....

But I have went from making $1600 a month with a part time hog barn last year to doing work study and making a grand a sem. + extra loan money for rent so I'm getting by for now. Grad in the spring.

Hey Stinky sorry that no shave thread got out of hand, i was actually going to ask to have it deleted. Peace out homies.

oh no, I am so sad to hear it ... couldn't be at a worse time for job-hunting ... ... don't lose faith, you're special, you'll go to work before a lot of others ... ya got too much goin for ya, kid ... you're in my prayers,

My gig was downsized about 3 months ago. They moved to North Carolina. Cheaper labor apparently with some tax incentives. I feel for ya Stinky. No worse time of year either.
Will pray for a new bigger better gig for ya

Jesus Stinky. I am really REALLY sorry to hear this. I wish there were something I could say but obviously there isn't.

You are in our prayers.

i, like the masses here, am truly sorry to hear this Stinky. i wish i could offer you something other than my meager words. from what i can tell you are an amazing "person" and i completely agree with lolagal! any employer would be lucky to have you on their roster!

Why can't I get it to just display with [img][/img]?

Sorry to hear it. I'm collecting unemployment myself, and my wife will be jobless soon as well because her workplace is closing down early 2009.

The recession is in full swing, and it's going to be a rough one.

Good luck in your job search.

Wow guys. Thank you. I didn't expect this outpouring of good wishes at all.

I found something perfect since I posted, that actually seems like a job made just for me. It's sustainable food production related and requires water chemistry skills... But my area is already filled with people with Masters' degrees working as waitresses... it's going to take some doing.
Who here has a bald head I can rub for good luck!!?

Okay you're not gonna believe this. They just called for an interview. OMG.

just remeber guys ........As one door closes another usually opens up things happen for a reason

It was your time in life to move on.......embrace change dont fear it

I sometimes wish we lived in a world were the occupants didnt need money to exist...

But in this plant, money makes it turn.

Good luck my friend.

and best of luck with the interview! If they're smart they'll grab you!
