    Default Today was an interesting day at work.

    One day into Dear Leader's extended stay in Washington, I got laid off of work. It may not be Dear Leader's fault but I am having fun blaming him for right now(just because it is convenient). Fortunately I did not really like my job and have been looking for something else, so I have a few irons in the fire.

    Make sure to get your slice of the government cheese if you're eligible. Hell, probably won't be long before they extend unemployment benefits indefinitely.

    Sorry to hear that. But like you said since you didn't really like this one, might be a blessing in disguise.

    If it encourages you at all, I applied on and off in my industry for the better part of four years, only to be blown off time and time again. I recently started a new job in my industry, and have had one company call me TWICE for a position, and just got an email from another company encouraging me to apply for a job that I wouldn't think they would consider me for.

    I have been trenching in fiber optic cable for a construction company, it got old quick.

    I have a weld test at a local place on Friday afternoon. I am hoping that works out well. Being indoors this winter would be nice.

    This has pushed me to start planning on opening the brewpub I have always wanted to open(in the next couple of years).
