Has,nt sunk in yet

So sorry to hear about you losing your job and especially in that manner. I have no knowledge of what your skillset is but your job now is to find another. May I suggest you go to my employers website http://www.halliburton.com/en-US/careers/default.page?node-id=hgbr8q6n and look thru the openings, we are an extremely diverse company and there may be a fit for you. Since you are obviously internet savy Register and Navigate the site by region and if you find something that could be a good fit for you PM ME and I will give you some personal info to use in your online application that MAY help get your foot in the door as current employee referrals are elevated. Keep your chin up.

*****After reading some posts I am getting the impression you are possibly a pipefitter or mechanical contractor and there is a lot of that work going on at our facilities. With both in house employees (facilities/real estate) and always onsite contractors (United Mechanical at my location) I don't know who they use in Houston for contractors but they are always very busy.
