nukeday Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Got laid off August 14th, 2008. Probably going to have to go back to school using Trade Act benefits. I've got about 3 more months to either find work or decide on a certification course. Quote Link to comment
ratsar_nx Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I'm not unemployed (yet), but I am in the middle of searching for a job in my field. I'm about to graduate with a degree in electronics engineering and I haven't had much luck finding anything. Most places I've sent applications to haven't even acknowledged my existence. From what I've heard, a lot of engineers are getting laid off so it means I have to be competing against people with a lot more experience than me. I am at least covered for the summer, though. I have a job lined up working with maintenance for the university dorm I live in. Quote Link to comment
Madness Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 ..... im getting bored. Anybody else find something fun to pass the time? :bored: Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 heh theres to much time anymore, seems as tho i am gonna get fucked soon : My unemployment is good as long as I look for work, which is easy enough. Tho i cant goto school because then i would not be available for work. Not sure whats going to happen just yet, will have to see what financial aid will do and maybe find some part time work under the table and just skip the unemployment or something. Anyways, in the mean time. I have been tinkering with my truck. Got the heater to work on all speeds, bought some more primer and paint, some brass brushes, simple grean, brake cleaner etc and have been cleaning parts. built a fence for my father in law ill take some pics of it, i stay outside all day even if im not doing much lol. play with my kids, been going crabbing daily. started messing around with photoshop and man is that shit addicting. i suck and it and still cant figure anything out but figured out how to make my truck look lowered lol I found two 521's for a good deal, i am picking those up once i get my severance check. am going to part the second one out to help recoup for the money spent. also, i filed unemployment here in oregon. but i wasnt here long enough and they reported all my wages to washington so i had to go and re-file so i have to wait another week, what bullshit is that? ill get 265 a week before tax and child support is taken out. and i cant get on state medical because i make to much. ha, fucked : also pulled the cowl off my fiance's van and cleaned out the weep hole, was so full of pine needles that it was clogged. every time it rained it would overflow and run inside the van Quote Link to comment
vindats1 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 hey folks, need a bit of bucks? I ALWAYS need help getting parts off the parts vehicles, my arthritus isn't getting better, always in pain and needing parts off. Will pay well for experienced and careful folks. I have quite a few tools and a generator and compressor. You know women and car parts! Can never have too many. Right now, I need body parts and interior parts pulled. Just south of Seattle.

Dat620guy Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I was let go march 1st 2009 from Honda. It was an easy job that I got to drive new cars around but they lost a lot of money in sales and advertising. So it was the gotta get rid of people to keep the high-ups pay checks the same. So i've been doing my own thing but 200 a week isn't cutting it. My plan is to go get certified for welding and use that to make good money and work on my truck. Two birds, one stone. :D Quote Link to comment

I wonder if thats only in Oregon or if it applies to every state. That blows. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 oregon and washington i do live in oregon now, but my unemployment goes thru washington since i havent been here for 18 months. lady said if i goto school then they consider it not being able to actively look for work or work full time.

Dat620guy Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 I might have a new job today. I won't know till 4pm. As much as I like collecting the unemployment check, it's not cutting it. Plus if I want to go to school i'll lose my benefits. So I need a job either way. :D I hope all of the other people on here find a job too. This being poor shit sucks:mad: well have a good day everybody. Quote Link to comment
