I'll have the summer off...

[HALEY]

That's what i'm going to do Janet, enjoy the summer with Micah, I can't control what happens here. who know by June Scrap prices might pick up again, but with Wheeling pit Steel closing, it looks ugly right now. and only 3 guys working is very bad, i never saw this place this slow before and i been working here 10 years. Like i said we will still have my unemployement helping us out. so maybe something better is in store for me, i'm already calling a couple people for jobs and i'm going to get my resume out there. The job market stinks around here. But i'm looking...
I can't get stressed out about something that didn't happen yet. Just going to get ready for it..

Janet i will get those pictures of Micah's Birthday Party, i just have to get a couple of things out of the way here...

Haley, I'm so sorry to hear about your job. On a brighter side, it will be nice for you to spend the summer with Micah. You can send your resume out and take your time in looking for a job. Hopefully you'll be able to get rid of some of your stress and just enjoy your time off. I'll be praying that a job will open up for you. Hugs!!

Thanks Diana, i knew it was coming - the car sales are down, scraps not moving the steel Mills are all shuting down around me.
Now its just a waiting game now... That's ok i'll sit here and look for another job.

ps
the stress will always be there girl.... i just look around my town and see all the businesses closed, very stressful and more on there way...
The only places that are going to be left is wal-mats, lowes, and the crappy fast food chains, who knows i might be working at one of these places soon, he he..

Have you thought about moving somewhere where it's not so bad? I know that there are areas that aren't as hard hit as where you are.

Not really Diana, Mike is still doing well at his job and he's close to home (for now) plus i'm really close to my family. I don't know what's going to happen, i just have to wait and see, everyone is so secretive at work, hard to get a straight answer from anyone, and no one knows what is going to happen next month. But i don't really see any future here. the economy is so bad and its not going to get better in a month.
I can always go back to bartending, or go work for my sister if things get bad. So i'm just taking it one day at a time. i'm not going to make myself upset over it. Six of my friends are unemployed and more on the way so i'll fit right in with everyone else.
It's just going to be so weird i been working since i was like 13 years old, (babysitting, cleaning houses, cutting grass etc) went to college and right after college got a job, been working ever since, never been out of work before, when i was younger i use to work two jobs all way up till i got married. That's were i got my money to put down on my house.
I hate to depend on Mike for money i never had to depend on a man for anything in my life. It's just going to be an adjustment that i'm going to hate, but can't control until i find another job.
i been looking everyday, all i see are sales jobs, warehouse help, and construction. i'm really thinking about sending my resume to some of the construction jobs, hey they need someone to hold the stop sign right? and they get paid damn good to hold that sign. LOL
