And so did my wife, luckly since then we both have new jobs.

I am starting to not like my current sales job. I have been browsing the internet for jobs, and WOW, there is not much out there right now. I thought October 2008 was bad, but there is not poo out there now.

Kinda makes me want to bust my ass, being that the economy sucks so bad!

I graduated with a 4 year degree in computer science. I applied for at least 20 jobs and only got called for one interview with the Social Security Commission. They wanted to hire me but did not have funding for the position that they needed filled. After five months of being unemployed with no other offers, I took a job with the state getting paid way less than I ever thought I would with a four year degree.

Glad you and the wife found jobs... Good luck to everyone else that are still looking!

I heard it was pretty slim out there. My company has laid off over 40 good workers just this year alone. Before therecession, they would have been able to take a job with the competition.

I wish all of you the best of luck.

I have been working on a plan to stay employed through these hard times.

Drugs and prostitution are always recession-proof, right?

On a positive note, I was visiting one of my customers down in the Houston area. They manufacture gantry robots and LGVs. All the jobs they have been quoting for the last year are starting to come to fruition and they are actually looking to hire. We've seen the numbers in the lift truck market stabilize and start to trend upward. Nothing drastic, but getting better. On the flip side, I visited a bunch of customers over the last two weeks that are still sucking wind.

Good luck to all of you. I'm in sales and feel fortunate to still have a job. It's like walking on thin ice these days though.

      Dave Canales for Coach of the Year - NY Times

      By Basbear · Posted

      Yea, its a awful year for COY there's like 5 coaches Id as a  non-panther fan say are more worthy than Dave. Ben Johnson is doing similar to Dave by taking a yearly loser into a winner, but da bears are what 9-10 wins right now. Liam Coen has the fuging jags at 9-4 with similar talent to Panthers, I mean they drafted before them this pass year and had nearly zero from a guy they traded up for @#2 hunter.  ugh....Sean Payton&vance has the broncos as the current #1 seed in the AFC..... you know the broncos before the year starts you have the chiefs with mahomes&reid and chargers with herbo&harbs. No one had broncos winning there nor as a the #1 overall seed.  Mike Macdonald has the Seahawks at 10-3 compare that to Panthers 7-6, they are in a blood bath against Rams and 49ers.....shanny has half the team on IR with a 9-4 record.  Chargers are 9-4 with no OL and not much on D.  I have even put colts above Dave and the Panthers, if not for Danny injury...they were on the way and playing great. Just soooooooooooo many HC deserving this year and still more games, but Dave has over played this year for sure. I had them at a firm 2 win team, with 4 being the maybe and 7?!?!?!? being the everything goes right 7 wins is possible given the shitty NFC south.

      He did everything right but catch the ball. Kept his hands out in front, palms away from his body, watched it in, and then dropped the dam ball! Text book up until he dropped it.

      This Team...

      Just try to enjoy it for what it is. I don't need to convince myself that Young is good. He isn't. If this team makes the playoffs with the cinder block of Young dragging them down all season, even better.  But, some crucial things still need to happen, and being close, and moral victories, and at-least-they-tried isn't good enough.
