I had a vacation planned, its on hold til I get a job. My parents might offer to pay but I don't want them too because then are hidden strings attached. Ugh can't decide.

And once you get a job, likely vacation cannot be had until after a year.

It depends on the job and the management. Last job I only had PTO time so you used it for vacation or sick, and you could be up to two weeks negative. Govt type jobs are very generous on the time off policies. But I understand Ray, some of my relatives who work for Ford/GM have to take their vacations only on shutdown.

I've heard of that too. Thankfully where I w***, they are very generous about vacation time and when you can take it. Like you said though, some of my neighbors have had to take vacation only during the summer re-tooling shutdown.

It's a long story but I got laid off.. normally at that building they keep the same people but change contractors.. my boss acted real confident that they would hire me but they never called. The whole thing could have been handled better by the other managers. My managers were great and I really liked working there until that stuff happened.

No, the new contractors were not downsizing. Like I said, long story and I did ask if I was going to be laid off and never got a definitive yes or no - I would have been more prepared. When you tell me "not to worry about it" or "no one is going to lose their jobs" and then you do when you ASKED it is like a slap in the face. Ifthey would have been honest upfront then I would saved a lot more money and been looking a lot sooner.
I have applied for a few jobs but don't have any solid leads right now.

Hi Yaw!!!
I know how bad the unemployment rates are. They are high in the production towns not only of Detroit,Cleveland,Pittsburgh. Most of those cities relied on either steel or the automotive industry as a driving force of their economy. Things are so tough near Cleveland that over 800 people applied for a janitorial position at a high school to earn $16 an hour.

Busy.
W***ked on Saturday. Church/bible study on Sunday. Should have sung with the choir, but our regular organist was sick. So the choir didn't sing.
Went out for lunch and then got started on the leaves. I'm just mulching them with the riding lawn mower. Then I spent some time with my lovely wife.

Happy Monday everyone!
I've been posting less and less here huh? Just trying to figure out what I wanna do. Should I keep the thread or just visit others? What do you think? If I keep it, I'd like to know that I can generate enough good conversation and traffic. Hmm....
Anyhoo. How was everyone's weekend?
KEEP THE THREAD!
That is unless you do not have any intention to be participating in it that is.
My weekend was ok, not too much happened with me at all.
