| That brings the suck big time. What kind of work did/do you do? Also, where abouts are you? | |

| Yeah-trying to think positive though. I am electrician (commercial/ industrial) and live in Harford County. | |

| Have you talked to the IBEW? They might be able to get you work. They are in DC. They might be able to help out. (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers). I am not on the "in" with the electrician side of the house. But I do know a few people on the TV side of the house. | |

| Thanks -I have not thought about that. It is certainly worth a try. I'll look them up on line and see what I can find out. | |

| Another suggestion would be to look into getting a fiber certification. That could help out. Costs about 1500 bucks and 6 or 7 days. But it is pretty nifty. | |

| IBEW guys are doing plenty of construction electrical work at APG, and should continue for a while. As far as maintenance electrician, there was someone in Aberdeen looking for a troubleshooter type, but I just checked and it's not there anymore. I have a search at Monster (I'm a PLC, HMI, controls automation type) for PLC, HMI, etc and I see a couple new things there just about every day. Keep your chin up. I'll always remember what my father told me from his VA hospital bed a few months before he died. I had just been laid off from a 21 year job. He said, "You'll be OK boy. You fix things." I was out for two months then in 1996, but since then I've been blessed with steady work. If you're an industrial electrician, you fix things, too so hang in there. | |

| Thanks for the info and the positive words-sometimes you need to hear that. I am remaining positive and prayerful knowing that it will all work out. | |

| I can (and have) told many stories about how God has taken care of me just when I needed it.
God is seldom early, never late, but always on time.
The hardest thing for me to learn was that it is Gods time and not mine. | |
