A little stressed...

[flareside_thunder]

Welp I'm having anxiety and I'm more than a little stressed....My fiance's grandfather died earlier today...so she's freakin out and trying to be the strong one of the her family which is just...no she can't do that she needs to break down and bawl.But her bawling kills me because it kills me to love someone so much and not being able to do a damn thing and feeling like your actions are moot.Also, work...don't get me started.I'm on the last active jobsite my employer has in the state of Florida.The others they have are outta state......and of course they won't ship the peons outta state...gets expensive paying per diem to whatever employees they have left after the MASSIVE stream of layoffs.Our biggest General Contactor, Welbro Building Corp, has no more jobsites running in Florida so they'll be laying off.This job ends in June.None of the banks are wanting to loan money,wtf I thought that was the point of the bailouts/stimulus packages????It's pretty bad when my boss openly tells me. "Junior, you really need to start looking for another job,come June noen of you guys will have one.Hell, I won't have one.We're all screwed." Nice huh?That was ver batem too.Knowing that you're gonna be jobless in the next few weeks kills your morale...rush rush rush get this mechanical room plumbed, oh but we're gonna bend you over and screw ya when you're done.Gee thanks.No wonder people are goin nuts.This makes me sick.

It sucks having to be the strong one, but just remember, she appreciates it more than you will ever know.



As far as the economy situation, no matter what happens tonight, you will wake up tomorrow. So will your ole lady. Everything else is material.

 

[flareside_thunder]

she's not gonna get over this anytime soon either.....that was the grampa she liked let alone loved.....

 

[surewhynot]

You are 100% right. And that will make things harder on you, but if you remember how much it helps her and keep in mind that she would try to do the same for you, it will help you through a little bit. Also, if you ever need to blow off steam, you know how to get ahold of me man.

What Tony said about tomorrow, get your mind occupied with things that make you happy and try not to worry about things you have no control over. It will all work out sooner or later!!!

 

[flareside_thunder]

heh seems like it'll work out like a kidney stone lmao.Yea I got ur number Tony thanks man.

hey junior. i cant say i feel your pain about the grandfather dying but i would agree with what everyone else has said. on the job note, ive been there and done that oh about 4 months ago although i got fired for something i didnt do. try looking for a tech job in this economy even after being fired for something you didnt do...ugh it sucks plain and simple. just do your best and see what you can do. possibly a career change. thats what i did. i am no longer an auto tech. i now work for loomis armored trucks as an armed guard/truck driver.

Robert Frost: In three words, I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.

Sometimes it sucks...but sometimes it doesn't. Stick it out. It'll get better.

Tony's right. First of all, sit back and breathe. This will all pass. Second- just be there for her- it's about all you can do. Third- the economy sux (I know this first hand). That'll all work out too.

Sorry to hear your problems man. But as others said, life will go on and things will happen. Sorry for being cliche...but when a door closes, another opens.


Thoughts and prayers for you and your fiance as well.

JR, This economy is hell, I've been off for a month now with not even a nibble on a job. I have never had this prob before. Usually its, call a friend who knows someone and BOOM your back to work the next week.

Like everyone said, everyday on the green side of the grass is a good one. you all are in our thoughts! Keep your head up.

Keep your chin up, JR. Be there for her and it will all work out in the end. It always does.

Keep posting - we're here.

I've joked about that for years- any day I can fog up a mirror is a good one.

It's an even better day when you can fog up the windows.
