Sad day today. I am officially a 99 as of 330 PM EST

Well the day I hoped I would never see is here. At 330pm I will be an official member of the elite club 99ers.
Never in a million years when I was 1st let go would I say that I would still be out of work right now and not had an interview in a year.
This bout of unemployment has devastated my life like it has many of yours.
I went from being secure financially, owning my own place, happily married to
Bankrupt, living at home with Mom and separated from my wife and broke.

The only positive thing that I can gather from this is I made some friends along the way and have a whole different outlook on life.
On a side note, I do have a job prospect and feel pretty good about it.
Granted I will be taking a HUGE paycut but its better than zero dollars.
Anyways enough of my sob story, I just figured Id let yall know Im part of the club now.

Just keep going my friend and I pray a door opens for you. So many need your help because you are strong person able to pick people up when they are down.

WOW! JIM, I remember way back when you said you had a few weeks of benefits left. Now its sad to see your now one of us! Sad in a good way! Or good in a sad way! Hum!

Its official now.

Sorry to hear that JIM.

I have a good feeling about that job possibility!!


You are a great person and a great support to many! Now, we will be here to support you through 99erville.

So sorry Jim, I wish you the best and that something comes through for you very soon, and for all of us.

Thanks AloneinPa

Fingers and toes crossed for your new gig!! Your still a young guy, it will all turn around for you.

Welcome!

I feel ypur pain and pray that this job comes through for you!

My deepest condolences.

I remember meeting you way back when you were only on Tier 1. Time flies why you're having fun, huh?

Yes times flies when your life is falling apart right before your eyes.

It must be your birthday then.

Happy Birthday J.I.M. my friend,

Actually Lend me, I was off a week LOL. Next Friday.. But thanks.

Sorry to hear that Jobless. I will be out in a couple of weeks too.

I really dread moving back with mom but I will have no other choice unless a miracle happens in the next few weeks. I have been independent since I left for college. It is going to be very strange to go back.

I am from MA also and I know first hand that jobs are not easy to come by. Good luck with your job prospect. I hope it will work out for you.

Seriously, despite having our lives fall apart before our own eyes, this whole experience has created friendships that I hope will last a lifetime. Even though we are going through hell, we have met some great people, and I will cherish their friendship always.

Yes, getthemtater, that includes you.
