Bad news everyone.
 

I got laid off again in July. Having been unable to find work, what I'm getting on unemployment makes a physical move necessary. I will have my place vacated Sunday and some of my sets in storage. The area I am moving to is not served by my current web provider, so my site may be down for a while. I will also be offline for a while. Hopefully, I'll find something soon.

Sorry to hear that.

My best wishes for finding a new job. :thmbsp:

Wishing you all the luck. Get back as soon as you can.

Sorry to hear about the current situation. Every change brings opportunity for greater success. Good luck and hope to you get back soon.:thmbsp:

Hopefully this will turn out for the good!
 

Afterall, we have to think that way.
You seem like a great man, so, I think it'll work out to be better than ever!

Yes, best of luck!

Good luck!

Best of luck to you, and may brighter days come your way.

Sometimes life goes that way,but every change like this is also an opportunity for something better to come into our lives. You'll have a lot of AK friends here sending good wishes your way. Your life should get a lot better, soon! In the meantime, stay upbeat, smell the roses and remember to be grateful for all that you still have and to enjoy what you can of this particular adventure in your life. Come back and tell us about the improvements
when and as they happen. Good luck! :thmbsp:

I wish you success in find a job that works for you and that you like.

Hang in there! Best of luck to you!

We're all pullin' for ya, man ! Hang in there, & keep yr chin up...

I've been there too often myself. Good luck. Do all the usual headhunters and such, but don't use pay sites, they're scams. What kind of work do you do?


Now that you said HVAC, I imagine you might participate in tradesman forums similar to http://www.electrical-contractor.net/ (this one is for electricians, but I've seen them mention the existence of HVAC forums). Such a forum may have a job category.

HVAC. Thanks everyone. At least where I'm going will be rent free. I will finally be able to bank some dough. I will find something. There is a possibility my former employer may have work available. I will volunteer to be on call. The only thing that could stop ne is lack of space. That's what storage is for. This is a new beginning.

Good luck, man. I have enjoyed meeting you at ETF conventions.

Every life has ups and downs. I have gone through a couple of downs in the last year or so.

If bad things never happened, we'd have nothing to measure against what's good :-)

I wish the best for you, and speaking from my own (fairly recent) experiences, it always looks worst right before you get a break... Hopefully you will get one soon! I was pretty far down the toilet (all credit cards at max, living in a rented mobile home, etc etc) when I was trying to keep making a living in TV repair, as I had done just fine from age 18 to about age 35. Once I admitted to myself that it's no longer a viable career, I opened my eyes to other things. In your case, HVAC is definitely a career with a powerful future. It's probably just in a lull because of the economy and housing. I have a friend who was a self-employed HVAC contractor, and he has temporarily taken a full time job with the Ramada Hotel chain as the in-house HVAC man. When the economy gets better, he'll restart his own business.

Winter is on the way-that means lots of no-heat calls! They'll need you, Dave! One thing about a new job, possible new territory, is you'll soon be in lots of basements you haven't been in before. That means...a whole new batch of hidden TV sets to find!

Good luck. I really like your web site. Hope you get back on your feet soon. Nothing worse than being laid off of work.

Best wishes and the best of luck to you.

Just want to wish you all the best .

Hang in there , and keep you chin up :thmbsp:

Good luck Dave, I really hope things get better, my best wishes to you.

I hope everything turns for the better for you.

sorry man
i just checked out your website and it's HILARIOUS btw
keep afloat, it's all we can do sometimes...

It happens to the best of us, hang in there and things always turn out better!

I hope that you find work soon!

Best of luck to you Dave, I know what it's like to switch careers in the blink of an eye, but you should have no problems picking up on HVAC! If you can restore an old set you can do anything!
