Dear Janet,

How awful for you both! He liked that job. I'm really so sorry this happened.

If you'd like, I'll prank call them for you.

If you want to talk, call me.

Hugs,

Judy

Hey That's a great idea. We could call and say we want Rick to work on our cars and when they tell us he's not there tell them Sorry no Rick no business.

Just a thought.............

Janet, I'm so sorry!! Was it due to business being down, last in/first out? I know some places here are having troubles.

Aww Janet I am sorry to hear this I remember when you posted that he was so exciting getting this job near home.. That really stinks, if you need to vent call me anytime.. Like one of the other ladies posted one door closes another will open and I hope this time it is very rewarding.. I will keep you in my prayers...

[Janet]

Thank you all very much. I'm hoping I can type this all without crying anymore. Rick thought he would really like it there (the new place). The other guys seemed really nice and he didn't really worry about getting along with any of them.

Some of the other body shops in town...Rick knows them all, couldn't believe Rick went to work for this shop. They said the guys are all 'butt-hole buddies' and are just pretty tight. No one told Rick that until after he got hired.

After Rick started working there, he still liked it, but thought things were so different from any shop he's ever worked. They didn't have much to work on so he was really glad he was getting paid hourly instead of commission like he had always done. Well, when he got back from lunch, Rick hadn't even got out of his car yet, when the boss handed him his check and told him he was paid up until lunch today. That he was disappointed that he hired him because he thought that for as long as Rick has worked auto body repair, that he would be faster. How in the sam-he** can he be fast if he doesn't have anything to work on but piddley stuff? He said the boss wouldn't even look at him...just walked off.

Anyway, Rick will go back tomorrow with the truck to pick up all his tools. I told him I'd help him if he wanted, but I'd speak my mind to the SOB. Needless to say...I'm suppose to stay home.

He has my mother's car to work on (she wrecked it again and hasn't had it fixed yet), but after that, he'll need a job. We don't have a savings...still have 5 years on the house, plus the normal bills, elect, cells..etc.

I am so darn sick and tired of struggleing. I didn't think at this age I would still be worried about money. Not that I thought we'd be rich, but at least I could sit down and not worry if there was a bill I couldn't pay until the next week. I'm tired. I'm ready to go whenever the good Lord wants to take me. I just plain sick and tired! I honestly just don't care to try anymore.

Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow, but somehow...I doubt it. I'll just carry on because that is what is expected.

Janet, I'm so sorry to hear about Rick's job. It sounds like he wasn't working for a very good company anyway. What an awful way to get fired! Shows that what Rick was hearing about them was probably right. I'll be praying for a new job to come Rick's way. Keep your chin up. I'm here if you need me.

I'm so sorry Janet. I hope things get better for you

Judy, you remind me so much of my best friend. Wonder if you could be related?

[Janet]

First off, I want to apologize. I am so very sorry for flying off the handle like that. I wrote to a couple others that I should walk away from the computer when I get to feeling so distraught.

It doesn't help that he walks around her like a lost soul. He went and picked up his tools and some jerk (one of the butt-hole buddies) yelled out that ****boby shop was hiring. I hope...well, I've caught myself...I won't type it, but I sure will hope for it...lol.

Rick did go sign up for unemployment benefits. Time will tell if he gets it or not. Hopefully he won't be off long enough to collect it, I hope he'll have another job before then.

Thank you all for the kind, encouraging words. I do appreciate it. I just hope you'll forgive me for ranting like a nutcase when there are soooo many people in worse shape then us. It may take a day or so, but I'll pick myself back up, dust off and carry on.

[Lindsey]

Janet, I don't think anyone here minds that you rant! It's what we're here for, to listen and be supportive. Sometimes it helps to get frustrations out. I've used this forum for that a lot
We all love you and I hope things start looking up soon
