Thanks yall. Gary, the Barnett is doing terrible right now. I'm probably gonna have to go to Oklahoma to work, but at least it's closer to home than Pennsylvania.

Hey guess what, I lost my job yesterday too.  Worked a 12 hour night shift then they told me that there was a job shortage and laid me off because I had the lowest seniority.  Life goes on though.  Applying for 4 jobs today.  No biggie though wife wants me to stay home and take care of the kids...she even agreed to give me an allowance

I'm doin alright MoparAl. Still don't have a job. I found out the max amount you can get for unemployment is $392 a week, that's not gonna cover hardly anything. I hope I can find a job before I have to start relying on that. The Barnett shale, which is the natural gas field here around Dallas/Fort Worth, is not doing very well. The cost to extract gas out of the area is too high, and there isn't much work around here anymore. I'm trying to get on with a company that works out of Pennsylvania. Hopefully a friend of mine and I can get on at the same place so we can get an apartment together and keep our houses here in Texas. It would make things a lot easier.

It will all work out, I just wish something would come up soon. I had to do all my bills today, and that is pretty hard to do when you know you don't have another check coming and you are paying them out of savings.
