I'm still pluggin away, not too worried, but have the thought in the back of my head. Its bad when the job that we were working on has been shut down since Sept 15th, and another one that was going to start soon is on hold pending a important meeting. I know that there are others that are below me on the food chain, and if my eveluations are any indication as to if I will be let go then I am safe. I guess that if I do get let go then I will start working for myself again, not the best time to do it but you gotta do what you gotta do.

I'm in diesel school and been looking for a job as a diesel tech. since the summer time a can't find one anywhere. i thought going to college was going to make it better for me to find a job.

I am still working,over time is still being given out but we just had a meeting Tue. and around first of the year the temps will all be gone, and possibly I could get laid off in Feb or Mar. There is a good chance that I won't, only time will tell.

Another vote for Natural Gas. If fact our company just put in a new pipeline and are thinking of putting in another. Unless this global warming thing actually exists, I'll have a job for as long as I don't screw it up!

Oh really? Larger than the Jonas field under Wyoming/Colorado/Utah? That You will have to prove for me to believe. The Jonas field is huge and they are thinking maybe it might even be bigger than what they previously thought.
