not a good start to the new year

[Ginevive]

Wow; sorry about the abrupt employer nastiness. I wish you luck in your job search; maybe it's your key to finding something better?

Well first of all i REALLY miss this place and talking to all of you.
So i will try to fill ya in as to my not being around here.
As some of you know i switched jobs and started my new job in november. And i switched so i took up alot more of my time, i was stilling cutting meat for aliving and i just wanter to show them how good i was and that i was there to stay forever. then i switched my cable pervider and when they came to disconnect they took my moden too( they werent supose to) well i was going to get direct tv internet but they said it's not in my area. so thats why im not on here.

ok so now on to yesterday and the title of my thread. well I thought every thing was going great at my new job they kept picking my brain for ideas on how to improve things in the meat department, and how my old employer did things.Never once did they mention anything about me not working out, or that my work was bad, or they didnt like me, NOTHING. then yesterday they called me into an office and said" your supervisor called and told us to tell you it's not giong to work out, and you can go now". they let me go with NO reason other then " it's not going to work out". so i had to make the phone call to tell my wife and kids that daddy doesnt have a job anymore. no health insuransce, no money coming in. This is such a helpless feeling, and what makes it worse is that like many familys out there we live pay check to pay check. and in retail this time of year they just arent hiring anyone.

So i dont want to but i might have to sell off my little collection, to make ends meet. and if i have to i will but,that is going to be hard because it makes everything more real.like i have to sell my stuff just to make it.

So, like i said thats why i havent been around here. i really do miss you guys alot. Im at my dads now look on the internet for jobs, so i thought before i do that i wanted to say hi and i hope all of you are well. and for those of you that have the means please keep in touch with me, and anyone that wants to feel free to get ahold of me also. i know Evan has my number so fell free to ask him.
Im not sure when i'll be back here, and what this does for a return trip to daytona do to i wont have any vacation time. so if something comes my way job wise and i can get back on track to get internet this will be my first stop.
and i will let some of you know if times are hard were i need to sell my snakes( i hope i dont need to)
i hope to hear from some of you soon.

Well thank you for all the well wishes....

Heres a little update..

I did contact the unemployment offie and got everything taken care of there. They offer a job search program there which i plan on taking full advantage of on wednesday.

But im also looking on my own as well, In the past few days i sent out a few resumes, filled out paperwork to try and get into the ironworkers local no17 apprenticeship, and i had my first interview today with a wine distributor. They distributors wine, beer, and liquior to stores and resteraunts(sp?). it really sounded like a cool job. and the interview went well i think. so cross your fingers... and hope i get it.


Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers....
Joe

Joe this sounds like a great option to get yourself back together .We are all praying for the best for you and yours

Hey Joe,
Sorry to hear about the turn in events. I will send prayers and positive thoughts your way. Kepp a positive outlook and keep plugging !

Best of luck!

[Spaniard]

Thats really a shame Joe,

I hope you bounce back. I had found myself in the same postition a year ago. I was really upset but rather than viewing it as something horrible that I would never over come I made it an opportunity to be forced to go out and test the waters in the work place. I found a job within two weeks of being let go and for a much higher salary than my prior job. Stay positive and don't give up!

Good Luck.

Keep applying for those jobs and plugging away Joe. You'll find something, and hopefully it will be soon and perfect for you.

I sure will miss you until you get back on your feet.
