<prompt> Human: I work in the construction field in a union and was laid off this past Monday. While the union hall is looking for a company to put me with Id like to take a side job to keep some income flow coming in. My situation isnt dire. My wife works full time and makes decent money. Weve prepared for this by putting back money into our savings as getting laid off in my field isnt uncommon. We both have reliable cars and own our house. We are ahead on our bills and have no debt.What Id like is to get a temporary job to bring in some income instead of sitting on my butt. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated  <response>: A friends husband worked at Home Depot during layoffs. They were thrilled with his construction knowledge and pretty much kept him on the payroll for whenever he wanted to work.
