3 months of possible layoffs has aged me

Gotta be stressful for folks in the oil industry especially around the holidays. Stay strong

Well shite I assumed he was talking about the oil industry. Didn't even see his name.

Walmarks frick it you get cut go to target.

I worked for an ad agency that went from 300 employees to 0 over a two-year period. They let maybe 15-20 people go every few months with the same bullshite remarks: "now we're lean and mean and poised to make a big turnaround." But they couldn't bullshite us--it was a goddamn ad agency, bullshitting was our profession.

On the river. Making sure things are ship shape

become if I can save up just a few bucks I am gone

You got the wanderlust son,
It's the same old story,
Of young men uncounted,
Since we smelled that salt air,

And there ain't a damn cure,
So get ambulatory,
And strike out for fortune,
Feel the wind in your hair,

Put all you care to carry,
Inside of a rucksack,
A good coat on your shoulders,
And a new pair of shoes,

Then pick a direction,
And don't you ever look back,
It's the only solution,
For those wanderlust blues,

Take a berth on a schooner,
Stow away on a train,
Don't stay anywhere too long,
Keep moving your feet,

Spend your nights in some tavern,
Or sleep out in the rain,
Buy the booze and steal kisses,
And taste freedom so sweet,

And when wand'rin' gets tiring,
Find a good place to land,
Grab a good honest woman,
And make her your wife,

Raise a house and a family,
The best that you can,
So your last words can be,
"Man, I've lived a good life."

A cowboys life I truly feel hamstrung

Yep, I did deal with it and it just kicked my arse. The constant stress and worry just made me hate the company and though I was not laid off, my impression of the company was so bad after watching a lot of good people get laid off and lives Ruined, that I quit several months later. It honestly worked out very, very well for me with my new company, but I will never trust corporate America again...
