You are not alone Paul, but I'm sure that dosn't make it any easier. Hope you can manage to ride the storm.

i hope lily tomlin was wrong when she said:

it's gonna get a whole lot worse before it gets worse

Hey Paul. Some times are made to thrive, and others to survive. This is the time to take pride in every day you survive. There will be other times for you to make some money and progress. Don't discount that. Not too many are thriving right now.... Peace to you my friend.

Hi Paul, Jeff gave good advice. There have been weeks at my barber shop, I wanted to throw in the towel, then the next week, things get hopping again. Just spend the money you do receive in the best way possible, and save for the slow times.

Paul I grew up in Cleveland, I think I even went to the same hall you go to. We must know some of the

same people. I left Cleveland back in 81 when the factories started closing.

Things are tough here in Florida also. The state is borrowing billions of dollars to pay unemployment

which if they have to pay it back means Florida is broke.

I work in a jail for the state and we havent

gotten a raise in 4 years and were all stressing about loosing our jobs.

Ever so sorry, Paul, you find yourself in that worrying situation. I sincerely wish you to find a way out of it. Love, OLGA.

Sorry to hear of so many that are unemployed,

if I can offer some suggestion , try and make yourself versatile and take a temporary job

if you can like being a Carrier driver for UPS or FedEx etc.

maybe even driving a Cab for a little while.

See whats out there and be positive and show a willingness to train.

Essentially push yourself, good luck and all the best
