A Coal Miner lost in the World

Out of my element
It's been awhile since a sat down and wrote a post. I have been out looking for a Job. Around here(central West Virginia)there are not any mining jobs.If you haven't read any of my other posts. I was laid off from my mining job around five weeks ago. It has not been easy to adjust to the change. I can deal with having way to much time on my hands, but the difference in money or should I say the lack of it.Is hard to wrap my head around.I am spoiled. Since I started working in the mines, well lets say if I want it .I bought it. Now I Am on a "BUDGET". I hate that word. I know what you are saying and I don't care. I have been some very hard times in my life. Where I didn't know if I had enough gas to make it home or get back to work the next day. The way I feel about this is. I work for it. Iam Damn sure I am going to spend it.A old man once to told me.
We not here to collect it

Let me catch you up a bit.I have been to a total of seven mines so far and I get the same awnser each time. We will keep your file on file.Yea right.
It's weird.I miss going underground. The sights,sounds even the verbal abuse. No a different subject.I have been kicking around an idea. It's well something to do with coal mining. Mostly coal miners in general. I just don't want to reveal it now. At lest until I have committed myself 100%.
gotta run....and have safe day.
