Mitch Daniels.(Mitch the Biotch) Had to go down state and rally for benefits to have them change the wording on legislation to take unemployment away!!!WTF 300,000 people rely on it when times a tuff. Hope your end gets better!! Beets

Been on 32 Hrs for 4 month's now .. not good when the Wifey can't be taken out to eat every now and again.. they GIT MAD when there's no money to eat !!
It's kinda funny that Gas Prices don't seem to GIT below 2.70 a gallon when sooo many people are out of work or have reduced Hrs.

I lost my job at a local refinery in Feb of this year (I was an operator) that closed do to bankruptcy. I loved that job, but now just down to working my business. Work there has been slow but still going.

Hope that things for everyone in here turn around soon.

You have got to be kidding right? You lost your job because Obama was elected before he was even sworn into office? Your company was going to boot you for cheaper labor no matter who was elected, but if it makes you feel better;) I suggest you don't spout of too loud about blowing anything off the map or you might find yourself behind bars or in the mental ward. You lost your job and I am sorry and hope it turns around for you. I hope that venting here helps also but you need to blame the company that laid you off. Their greed is what cost you your job and nothing else. Hopefully it will be a costly mistake for them:D
