Well in a succession of folks, now it's my turn. Although it's not due to the floundering economy, but more due to a parent unit, trying try get their 'dam dirty paws' in on the child unit's contracting stuff. So my contract was canceled and today is the day. I've cleaned out my desk drafted up my "take this job and shove it" email, only problem is I honestly really enjoy working here, and probably won't send it. My contractor boss is going shoulder deep in the crap with me to try and help me find a job quickly and along the same pay lines. I've got zero problems getting back to the farm, or hitting home depot or lowes. Just a matter of paying bills I reckon. Well it blows, but I reckon so does the wind, some point its gonna stop. So wish me luck, payday is friday. Embrace the suck.

Yeah, don't send that email. That's a good idea. Won't help anything unless you hope to burn some bridges.
You'll blow into another job. They happen. Hopefully you'll enjoy the next one as much as you have this last one. :tu

Sorry to hear that bro, will it effect you getting (or holding) the new home?
Things are gonna be better soon, I have no doubt.
