Dan you come off as a pretty intelligent guy, I'm sure things will pull through for you! Should see if you can do something more your skills oriented and just run with it.

well what can I say but keep a chin up and look on the bright side there is work out there, I've had a couple phone interviews. Over qualified and getting old does not help me any but I will fine some thing or build a Biss.

there bonus pay is a joke actualy, I hade 4 ODs working for me who were told they would get it but after 3 years of me writing memos on there behalf and fighting with and for them.. nothing.. they try to find every way they can to get out of paying it even stalling so long you get tired of fighting.

Oh, did I forget to mention that I am a Industrial Electrician? I acctually think I have a line on a job up Albion oil sands. Will find out tomorrow. See, thing is, I won't relocate for work. Atleast not right now., so it's camp jobs for me. It's easy to get a job if you can relocate tomorrow.

I got the "Downsizing due to economic factors beyond our control" speech in March 2009. At the time, my wife and I bought into the "life gives you lemons make lemonade" philosophy so we cashed in our savings took my severance, and went on one last big trip. It was great and seemed like a good idea at the time.

3 months pounding the pavement in downtown Calgary and we are both still unemployed. We might be looking back with a touch of hindsight now!!!

Oh well, things have to get better some time. Chin up, shoulders back, big smile, and start begging!!!!
