I'm still 45. I started playing Circle so I could violently force kids off my lawn. Be honest - how many life-size gnarlhorn satyr sculptures do you have.

I've had two interviews. Yesterday's location was about 45 minutes to an hour after work. It'll be hard to accept that one because my wife would go crazy with the kids if I had to commute 2+ hours daily.
I had an interview Friday. I haven't heard back and called them back today and still haven't heard a thing. I work in Electrical, so there will be something eventually as people seem to be fond of electricity. There's just been a dip it seems. On the other hand, my job searches online turn up a lot of offerings for Architects and Civil Engineers/Designers, which are generally a sign that work is coming for Electrical and Mechanical eventually.
It's just a bit disheartening to start.

Perfectly understandable. Still, hopefully something comes up soon.

It looks like I'll have to tap into retirement.

As in financially? Is there no assistance program? In Canada we pay into Employment Insurance: If you're let go from a job, you apply for a monthly stipend.

Well yes, I get unemployment, but that's not going to pay the mortgage and support my wife and two kids.

*nods* I gotcha. Even more reason to hope that something else comes in soon, sir. As I'm certain it will.

Yay Doug is here! We've got a lot of the old crew. Hopefully the rest find their way over here...well most of them anyway.

I'm still younger than Wendan so it's ok. He only has a year on me. But let's take him as a tipping point for old regardless.

Im glad we agree and have this settled for now and all eternity. @doug -bighugs- I've spent more time that I care to remember unemployed and scraping by. It's a hard road but things will turn around.
