[tinman]

I was laid off on Mar. 16 09 and am expecting call back in a month or two from what I am hearing from the plant I am/was a Machinist among other things...so hopefully 2010 will be much better for me than 09 was by any stretch.

So what R ur thoughts on 2010

good luck to you all in 2010 c'mon Philly it is a new year...let's kick it in the A@@

Good news on the call back. That's too long of a workless stretch. It's hard on alot of things. Learning how to go to sleep at 10pm and stay asleep to 6:30 is the big one.

Do you get any discount on bolts? They are expensive if a job needs 1000 of them. It could range from 500-1000 dollars or more. I always seem to run out of M8's and M6's, for computer sizes.

I can't say 2009 sucked because there have been worse times even when I was working full time. 2010 is a school year for me. I have to take Mathematics A & B 30 as well as Calculus to gain entry to a Programming course at our University this fall. It's all online so this works well for me.

I'm also going to continue editing and archiving my television & Movie archive. There's an endless amount of scanning I have planned and the work around here keeps me busy. My dad and I are renovating a house conveniently located next door to us and he is paying me well for my work there as I have a great deal of experience with framing.

As Spock says, "Live well and prosper".

Yeah, that's good news about the call back, I hope it work's out for you tinman.

2009 was pretty good for me, especially as I was in a really scary traffic accident but somehow managed to escape with nothing more serious than a sprained wrist.

I'm really looking forward to 2010 and I hope to do some travelling if I can get the time and the fund's. This year is looking pretty good in relation to gaming too with game's like Mass Effect 2, Super Street Fighter IV and BioShock 2 on the horizon.

He said BioShock 2

I was laid off (accountant) late December 2008 and still out of work. Enjoying it for the most part, but my schedule is out of wack and my mental state is from one extreme to another. I want to start my own online business, but it takes a while to learn PHP, MySQL, Javascript... I've spent months reading books and learning new things. Plus, I still want to study for the CPA exam which I haven't taken even though I've been out of college 4 years. It's amazing all things you can't do while you're working because you're a slave to the company. I really like having the ability for self improvement and enlightenment. So, it looks like I have to go back to work eventually, which I hate, since my benefits will end sometime just before or at the end of summer. But I still have my dream that someday I won't have to.
