I'll let you guys know tomorrow.

Got a call from my boss today letting me know he's shutting down the houston branch of our company effective tomorrow. So I'm out on my ass after that.

He's had the business up for sale for about a year with no buyers, and there's not enough money coming in to keep it going.

As some may know, I'm attending school for the pipefitters union, and PRAY I get a job offer soon. I'm glad I have at least a foot in the door for another job.

But I'm actually excited about it. I can finally have a normal looking truck again, and my weekly gas and EZTag bill will go down. I'll still repair or replace garage doors if you guys know anyone needing it done though. I may keep the rack to transport the really long stuff.

That sucks Jason, but at least you have the potential for a much better job! Hopefully soon...

Sucks to hear. Good luck on the quick turn around.

Just incase you were not joking on the unemployment line, you don't have to go somewhere. It can all be done on line...Speaking from experience.

Sorry to hear that Jason. Too bad you are not an accountant. We just found out they are closing our New Jersey office, laying off about 10 people, and moving the work down here. They told us we will get 5 or 6 more people, to do the jobs of 10! You know what that means.

Good luck.
