Of the unemployed...I haven't been on here much because I've actually been busy at work. Doing my job requires 55-60 hour work weeks, which suck...and the money isn't great..but it's better than having no job. Well, I guess I have more time for BOTL now! Our service department at the dealership I worked for was bringing in less and less each month and I was told a change had to be made. I don't think bringing a new guy in will magically make people want to spend money on fixing their car, but I digress.

I think this is for the best to be honest. I've been very seriously contemplating moving to Florida for the past few months and this may just give me the opening and the gentle push to do it and stop thinking about it. Opportunity may be knocking here, it's just the small problem of finding a job in Florida, where the economy is just about as bad as up here. Yikes!

Wish me luck fellas!!

Bummer, I agree that Florida is going to be better than Michigan any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Sorry about the job, but it's sounded for a while like you were planning to take off and this will be more impetus to do it.

I don't know anything about Byron, but I notice it's near both Flint and metro Detroit which both look like good places to get away from based on what I've read lately.

I'm sorry to hear that bro. I was working at a dealership that closed last summer. The auto industry isn't the place to be anymore I'm afraid.

floridas economy is horrible, but you dont need any $ to hang out on the beach and check out the scenery.
