Also, I am not sure I mentioned it or not?

BAE Systems had a job fair a couple weeks back. They were looking for 200 engineers and engineers. There were so many people there, the cops had to block of the entrance to the parking lot for that building and all near by parking lots...


Things are grim my friends....

It's pretty bad over here as well. One of my guys I have laid off called and said the state phucked him out of 1 months unemployment. He was begging to come back and said they are already behind on all payments by a month. It is gut wrenching when I had to tell him I can't call him back because we have no work. :cry:

Same thing in Lansing, I'll call my brother, he works there.
The main problem is the banks are not giving out loans, so new cars sales are basically nothing around here.

we did so many mortgages in January that we hit our spending limit and have to wait for our warehouse line to clear up this week.

I finally got my 1st unemployment check after 5 weeks with no check.

my gas bill for the month was $400. they say we have used like 70% more gas than this time last year.....then why am I freezing? 65 deg all day. 63 when we sleep. time for the payment plan. :roll:

Hey Chris. how many payment do I have to be behind before they will modify my loan :twisted:
