I just have no luck it seems, I got laid off yesterday. There seem to be no jobs in my field, as I've been looking for about 3 months now. I'm looking for other jobs, but who knows whats out there.

I called this morning and am trying to cancel the order for the water container, so I'm just waiting to hear back from them. In the mean time while I look for a job I guess I'll do what I can on our basement renovation; such as taking debris to the dump, cleaning up, and using up any supplies we've already pre-purchased.

    Sorry to hear that you loss ya job! I'm hopefull you will find one soon. The job market is not good right now, but if you are relentless in your search am sure one will come your way. ;-)

    Thats exactly what I'm hoping. I'm willing to take any job essentially as long as it pays my bills.

    That sucks. Especially because now you have the time to do the tank, but no money.

    It does, but I have to say, I've been unemployed for about 4 hours now and already have an interim job, and a potential in my field job lined up. Perhaps I don't really need to hit the pause button for too long. I also haven't heard back about cancelling my water container order. I still really want that water container, and am debating how to make it work.

    In the mean time I'm planning to make one of those tools to electrocute mojanos and aiptasia in my 180g grow out tank. I'm also planning to give that tank some extra lovin' while I'm home.

    I'm glad you were able to turn that around so quickly. Do you still rollerskate?

    Yeah I do still skate, just finished our season last weekend; undefeated and season champs!

    I'm stunned I was able to turn it around that quickly. While the interim job will cover the basics, I'll have to find a secondary income source to cover the cost of my tank build, entertainment fund, and anything else I want besides my house, utilities, gas in the car and groceries on the table.

    work at your fish store for $$$ and free stuff all at the same time. Hope it works out

    Its definitely going to work out. The interim job has hired me on for lots of work, 6 days a week, 12 hours per day which is lots of overtime, and overtime equates to cash. Cash buys & builds pretty giant tanks that can be passed off as end of the year gifts even if it comes before December 25th!

    Water container is still enroute, we're going ahead with the purchase anyways, we need it, the tank needs it, and it essentially has already been paid for.

    Phil,

    I work in Oil & Gas, specifically in a field called Joint Venture Contracts, but my educational background is in human anatomy, political science, and biology.
