I just lost my job.

Yeah. This economy sucks. And apparently, I'm too expensive to hire, even at minimum wage. At 6:00 PM, Thursday, I will no longer be employed.

Dammit.

Sorry, man. I've been hearing that story far too much lately. Well, I've read enough of your posts to know you're no dummy, and I'm sure you will impress someone before long and get employed! Stay optimistic!

P.S. - Boeing is desperate for aircraft mechanics in MD if you have any experience.

Haha. I did a science fair project on wing/airfoil structure and design in 6th grade...

But I was always more of a Lockheed Martin fan.
