Yes unemployment doesn't build you SS account. When I worked I gobbled all the over-time I could get my hands on. I figured they never paid enough to start with and it helped build my SS which pays off now. Enjoy it while you can !West Alexander PA, when i get back we should be rigging down and stacking out. We'll work in the yard helping with maintenance and some upgrades until December or maybe the first of the year. The good thing about SWN is when they stack your rig they do their best to keep everyone working, and you keep your normal hourly pay rate. You might get sent somewhere as an extra hand but it beats unemployment.
