Unenmployed....AGAIN!

[min301]

The owner of the Okemos Midas I worked for(as of 1pm today) Closed the store.

We had no idea...no warning...no communication at all.
So...if y'all need a mechanic, psudo fabricator...welder(mig anyway),
engine builder, etc...let me know.

I should find something soon...but-if I can relocate w/ some help, I would.

If you end up moving down to central Indiana I'll help you unload. We seem to have spring these days about every three days. winter comes in threee more!

[TheSilverBuick]

Bummer. Hope something comes along soon.

Time to find a new line of work Bill ...my buddy is in year 3 of x ray technician school after getting whacked by the saturn dealer ..he gets by on side jobs and student loans @43 years old

My buddy hooked me up into IT support and Telecom wiring subcontracting ..got my own LLC ..little slow right this week , but it is big bucks for only work 5-6 hours a day for tons more money than what is coming in at the chevy dealer ..dealing with a lot of high rollers around NYC with horror stories that curl your hair ..hedge fund guys who haven't made a paycheck in 2 years ..real estate guys who haven't sold any properties since 2008 ..divorces , foreclosures ..but they still need the phone

the dealers are dead ..even after 60% of them got closed around here ..working 75 hours to make 40 ..I just had enough

[Monk]

Damn I hate to hear that.

Good vibes headed your way on your search.

[ls7gto]

Bill, wish you all the best.

[TC]

Sorry to hear Bill, I'm sure someone with your experience will get something quick..........

[SuperBuickGuy]

Coincidentally, I was complaining today about needing a muffler shop. One shop doesn't do 3" pipe (Midas) the other might get my truck in on Friday.... The other one, is a goodly distance away.

So happy to hear you're doing better, Spidey.



Bill, so to hear you're out again. Wrenching is a tough business these days. It shouldn't be for a good wrench hand since they are harder to find than a good doctor.

[fast Ed]

Dang Bill, that sucks. Hope that you're able to find something again without much trouble.


cheers
Ed

[Bob Holmes]

That sucks to hear. I hope you can find something soon that works out for you.

[70chevyC-10]

That sucks Bill - good luck in your search.

[Bamfster]

Dam Bill!....sorry to hear of the bad news. Hang in there brother.

[JeffMcKC]

Sorry to hear, you might see if there is a Heavy Repair shop, The Cat and Komatsu Dealers seem to be doing well, its the same stuff only huge sized.....
