When one of my friends is having a crisis I do not feel it is off topic to post a message like Rudi did. Yea Rudi, you got the shaft big time. The fact that you have been doing what you do for as long as you have and never been sued is amazing, considering Americans sue for the stupidest things these days. You cooperated with them people and they still gave you the shaft. I have also been shafted by the government this year. I am/was a state employee in Illinois. I am sure everyone knows our idiot Governor Ryan. For four years his appointed department heads spent money like it was water. Because of this the state found itself 2.5 billion dollars in the hole this year. Ryan and his cronies caused this deficit than expected the working people of this state to balance the budget on their backs. When the union beat Ryan in court everytine he tried to violate the contract, he did the one thing that could not be stopped. He shut down correctional institutions, mine being one of them. So here I sit, my unemployment and insurance about to run out, and no one will hire me because they know I will leave as soon my correctional institution reopens or I get recalled to another institution. I am not sure when I will get back work. I bet your decorations are being vandalized by some punk kids who have nothing better to do. We have a lot of problems with that in our city. Hang in there buddy things will always get better. And remember one thing, If you have something you want to really screw up, just insert the government!!!
