well the company I work for does Land Planning, Civil Engineering, and Surveying. I am a Landscape Architect for those who dont know. Well due to the housing market taking a dump, we are SLOW......We design new subdivisions (housing communities). Well since no one is buying the homes that are on the market there is no reason to build new ones. The whole office has been cut to 4 days of work a week. which means I am losing a days salary every week. To make up for this I have been stocking shelves at the Home Depot Monday through Friday from 8 pm to midnight. I like working there but it is draining all the energy I used to have. So.....I am only getting like 5 hours of sleep every night.......

I am exhausted most of the time....sorry just had to vent a little.

I feel for you bud. This housing thing is crazy. It is effecting alot of things, I mean alot. Hang in there man. Hopefully things will pick up soon. I have a feeling it won't be until after November though but hope I'm wrong.

Sorry to hear that! But things will pick up again, just have to weather the storm.
I have a bunch of friends in the restate biz and its all the same.

On the bright side I have not told any one but CB, I am buying a house right now!! I have lost 2 to higher bids then me, but I now do have a P&S on one and the closing is 4/30 provided the bank puts in a new title 5??
They are suppose to, but we will see?? If not I have been looking at others, I have 1 right now that might be considered as a runner up if this one doesn't get done.
I am buying foreclosed or Short sale houses, so there is a lot of running around the long way to get them. Benn at it since end of Jan.

Good Luck!!

PS 5 hours of sleep!! Thats more then I ever get at one time! 3 hours and I am happy!
