Yeah it will be good, but not until train traffic picks up. And the old guys are not retiring, not sure why, maybe they're scared that there investments have lost so much value recently.

I'm in sales. Transportation industry. Everything is slow, we expect a very low year, sales expectation about 5 times lower than 2008.
Let's see how it goes.

Well im glad to here that at least most of you guys are getting ok hours. I have had alot of friends tell me that they are really hurting right know. Its going to be hard to put the extra money away in the next couple of months for this coming fishing season. Its just getting more and more expensive each year to enjoy this sport. Gas is also going up, prob will be over a doller for fishing season in June. Oh well good luck to all my fellow fishermen and hope its going to be a good year.

I was downsized in Aug 08, position was Project Manager for a Kelowna developer.
Sales weren't slow, they were dead.
Yesterday they downsized the accountant...then will pay an Accounting Firm to do year end. Smart
the Mrs is a DR & her practice is full, so things could be a lot worse.
When one is working, don't have a lot of time to play outdoors (for me that involves flyfishing, ATV'ing, golf, mtn biking, snowboarding) & when one has lot's of time, like right now, can't afford the expensive stuff like heli-snowboarding
