Some thoughts as we enter the holiday season, It is important to remember that not everyone is looking forward to Christmas. Some people are not surrounded by large wonderful families and friends. Some of us have problems during the holidays and are overcome with great sadness when we remember recent events in the economy and certain industries that make buying presents impossible. For many, it is their first Christmas without a job and, many people have no one to spend these times with and are besieged by loneliness. We all need caring, loving thoughts right now. Many of us have spent our lives working for an industry that has kept all of you and this country warm at night, and your cars running down the road. May I ask my friends wherever you might be, to kindly post this status for one hour to give a moment of support to all those who have job issues and just need to know that someone cares. Please do it for all of us, for nobody is immune. I hope to see this on the walls of all my friends just for moral support. I did it for a friend and you can do it too! MOST PEOPLE WON'T REPOST BUT 1% ARE TRUE AMERICANS AND WILL POST FOR SUPORT!!!!!! (Hold your finger over this to copy & paste this one, NO sharing please). Thanks


I'm sure this more common in Lafayette and wherever the OFT Baws are found, but do these guys expect us to feel sorry for them?

I guarantee they were the first ones touting the tenets of capitalism while demanding to see Obama's birth certificate.

These are people that, a few weeks before, were bragging about their limited edition Yeti truck nuts.

And now we're supposed to get all weepy for them?

Quit trying to bring down my Christmas cheer.

OFT? Where does it reference anything oilfield related? Or Lafayette? Quit being a fricking idiot and inferring things that aren't there.

How bout you just ignore the shite and it won't bother you? Or is this yet another shitty thread about how happy you are people are unemployed?

Or, maybe it talks about how they "kept you warm at night or your cars running down the road."


Which is ridiculous. They weren't out there in the oilfield thinking "I'm out here so that little Sally won't freeze to death, and little Billy will be able to get to baseball practice.

Definitely not the 90$ an hour double overtime."

Maybe they work for an electrical provider.


Point is, why even mention it? If it bothers you delete it or ignore it. Why bother to bitch about it?

Electrical providers haven't been laying people off in droves.

I mean, it doesn't take an Einstein, or even a Rex, to read that barely veiled subtext.

Those things are the chain mails of FB. So annoying.


It's the same people that post some long tirade about finding out who their "true" friends are on their fb friend list and they want you to post what you like about them on their status or they will delete you as a friend.


Yeah frick those people.
