Being laid off isn't so bad. I have a lot of things to do before the next job starts. And the next thing I know I won't have any time to do them.
I get to take my kids to school and pick them up. I get to go to "Backstreet Cafe" and "Simple Simons" with my wife for lunch. Hit some meetings that I can't get to. There is always a bright side. And push come to shove there is always the dole and sidework.

Absolutely. I have had trouble in the past "blooming where I was planted" It took me a while to realize as a male, that I am not what I do, I am who I am, and I do what I do-tough to learn, lots of ego-bashing over that. Glad you're getting to enjoy your family-those moments seem fleeting at times.

actually I have been on 2 jobs since before Christmas, about a week on each, which is okay since all of the rain this winter ... I never turn one down when the hall calls .. then yesterday got a name call this one should last for a couple of months ... well the last time I worked with this company was there for nearly a year. My reality is this though ... the fact I still have 2 teens living with me there is a need to keep the medical up along with the other things a parent is required these days.
