    well that's a big ol kick in the sack...heard those words this past Friday. company wide layoff as of august 30th when we lose our biggest customer to a trucking temp agency. my boss put all his eggs in one basket. unreal!!! I don't even know if we will make it that long..today one of the guys "hurt his back" and had to go to the ER in a ambulance..3 hours after being told about the layoff.
    on the brighter side, ya know the unrealistic side? how sad is this....im trying to be the best husband I can be.....hoping my wife will let me take the fall off for hunting.....could you imagine????!!!!!!! LOL I know that's a pipe dream, and not the most responsible thing to do. I spent this past weekend redoing my resume and have been firing it out like crazy ever since. sucks to start over.......there goes my booked Illinois hunt this fall .just praying I can get in somewhere else before the layoff hits. I was brought up being told hard work and doing the right thing always pays off in the long run, and that every thing happens for a reason! ughh!

    That sucks! Good luck with the job hunt (I know it isn't quite as fun as the deer hunt). This happened to me about 2 yrs ago.

    Sorry to hear the bad news. Things tend to work themselves out though, so maybe you will end up with a much better job.

    It was probably because of your poor spelling.

    Sorry to hear that. Things will get better and you will look back on this one day as a bump in the road. A distant memory.
