Sorry to hear. 25% unemployment sounds very much like a depression to me. I hope you don’t lose your tools. I know you can’t lose your skills!

please keep your tools ,
things will change sometime .
and you don’t want to start over again from the bottom.
keep the faith ,
and you are still part of the family .
keep us informed ,
you are not alone !

Maybe it,s time to emigrate. It,s nowhere near those unemployment levels here.

Thank you all of you, BUDDIES.

The american depression began as 20% unemployment. It must be tough where you are. All the best. My prayers for a comeback.

Best wishes. I’m fairly new here but am very sad to see someone go. Your skills go with you no matter where you end up and I’m sure they will serve you well.

La verdad, espero no tengas que cerrar y que todo te vaya bien.Esta la cosa muy malita en todos lados. Animo, la esperanza es lo ultimo que se pierde, eso nadie nos lo puede quitar,ni siquiera el banco.Se optimista, que siempre hay camino, por duro que sea que nos lleva ha donde queremos.

Keep the tools that you can. Things will turn.

I certainly hope you will be able to hang in there. You have very good skills and it would be a shame to have to give up all the years of hard work getting there. But, one must do what they must to survive in these unstable times. I wish you all the luck for whatever the future brings. John

You and your tools are transportable…....a door may close there…..but… it will open again somewhere else.

Don’t leave us LJ’s. We can all help to inspire you and maybe you will see something that will help you overcome these adversities. Keep up the hope as things will turnaround, hopefully sooner than later.
