I am now on my last month of unemployment (emergancy extention)I Work as a plumber. Looks like I will be travelling south this year,probably atlanta ,to start.I have found myself hustleing more and more,anything to make my end$. From doing auto tunee-ups ,brakes,and any cut-yhroat plumbing gig that comes along, I have even been taking work in detroit whereas 2 yrs ago I would not have set foot in that city to work. Hang-in there ,it seems dismal initially(that feeling in your gut) ,but you will discover talents that you thuoght you never had or had bueried. I personally feel that this is a wake-up call for us Americans. By that let me say that we have become complacent , are a tad -bit lazy, and have had it too easy for a long time compared to other p[arts of the world. Animal control ordered the execution of my dog last month for attacking the neighbors dog ,and in Brazil children get killed by dogs frequently and nothinhappens, To illistrate a point.
