My old *** thread rears its ugly thread!!!!

well thanks for the interest guys!!!!

got layed off on Friday, temp job is over!!! got resumes all over the place, but so do the other 8000 other layed off employes,

it's going like this, finished the Septic permitting this week, waiting on the permit, county has there hand out!!!! but had some help from a great county guy.

The architect, brought over the finished plans last monday, took for ever but came out real good, dropped a set of the off with my friend to get some truss estimates,

Meeting with the concrete guy this week to get a estimate on slab and block,

Now that I'm unemployed I can take care of the permitting,

Now for the car content, have gathered some small parts for the Camaro, got the C6 parts awhile back real nice stuff, and I've been working on the interior of the Nova, let me get some pics,

interested in doing a turbo 5.3 for the nova when the shops built, got a intercooler, gathering parts slowly,

since the economy took a ****, the dems killed the space program,

unemployment was around 26%, and if you CAN get a interview for some reason it now takes months, sometimes up to 4 to get hired,

out of 4 Lockheed Martain jobs I was looking at, 3 of them are BS, there's no jobs or money to hire for that division, got a guy on the inside, and he's a director,

thats about the jist of it, now I get to collect unemployment, not really wanting to do that, but there is side jobs,

Steve,

Sucks to hear about the job... Still interested in DynaCorp out at Patrick?? Take a look at this link..

https://dyncorp.taleo.net/careersect...moresearch.ftl

I am not sure what your "talents" are but I am sure there is something on there that might interest you...

Also, don't rule out the overseas gigs either..that's if you don't mind being gone for 90-days, then home for 30... Most guys I know go into the program for a year or two; make a butt-load of $; then come "back to civilization"...

If you find something that piques your interest, let me know and I'll make a few calls...

Just read thru my thread, try it sometime, not mine your own, I was really cranking on the car for a while, by looking at the car in wrap, you cant tell crap, we took a roll of green wrap and encompassed the the car before putting it on a trailer to bring to the new house,

I did leave some parts out of the POD when I moved the car, maybe be I should finish the door hinges and paint them and the mirrors,

been hunting for jobs, acouple of interviews but nothing yet,

by looking at the stuff I bought, man, I'll have a pretty nice car when its built, damn!!
