Sudden unemployment :o I'm pretty familiar with the concept, I'm in the Detroit area. I'm retired/disabled ,but this economy is kickin' me in the ass too. Like many others, I'm worth about 40% less than I was a year ago and  that's not counting a freakin'  nice new house that's worth a whole lot less than I paid for it  three years ago >:(.      WTF.....it beats living in a refridgerator box under a viaduct . Of course that might tighten up my blues chops ;)
 If you don't mind my asking, what do you ... or perhaps I should say, DID you do?

ha, now this is a funny  :rolleyes: story. i worked for a family roofing company for 6 years. i never took a vacation or a sick day until i lost a kidney to cancer 1 1/2 years ago. but that's not the reason. the owners little sex felon brother.(true story) needed a job so in a few months he had my mine and i was gone.

in retrospect it worked out ok because my wife can't work because of severe back problems and more surgery is in her future. luckily it's a workman's comp beef so we pay nothing. so i am mr. mom. knock wood it could always be worse. btw i ordered a new set of labella tapes today because that's the only spare money i forsee for a long time. ;)

i bet this is more of a story than you reckoned on. :mrgreen:

Oof. Sorry to hear about all this, Tom. Sounds like it will work out. Best wishes.

nofi:
thanks, dave.  :)

Lightyear:
Sorry to hear it.  If it had of happened three months ago you could come down to Houston/Galveston and made out like a freakin" bandit.  I've seen roofers from as far away as Alaska - some of them are still here and there are still plenty of blue "Fema" tarps to be seen as well.

Hope things work out for you - hang in there.
