 Very sorry to hear that Jeff  :(
 I know I threw a few shots at you in your apology thread, and I meant them  :roflsmiley: but d@mn man, that sucks.
(sorry, just trying to cheer you up bud).

 It's never worth staying at a place that you were not happy with anyways.
Time to move on, and do not look back.

 I got laid off from my Machinist job back in 2001, (the company went out of business), and I was unemployed for about six months, (which really sucked).
I was really bummed out that I felt I had to start from scratch no matter what I found for a new job.
 I found a job in 2002, and doing the last thing I thought I would be doing, (working on boats).
 Now I am a fully certified Mercury Marine technician, and still at the same job.

My point?
As stroker said, and I agree, (I never thought I would ever say that  :scared:  :smilielol: )
Everything happens for a reason.
 Look at this as a blessing in disguise, and any other cliche phrase I can throw out there right now  :thumbsup:
OK, a few more,
"Who knows what's just around the corner?"
"keep your head up"
"Take the bull by the horns, and run"
"when life gives you lemons........................ok I'm done  :horse:

 Seriously though, best of luck on finding a new job Jeff  :cheers:
 "Hope lady luck is on your side"  :pullinghair: I can't stop  :banghead:

Very sorry to hear that.
Hope you can find a new job that you like soon. I've been in the same boat as you, but everything that happened afterwards led to better and better jobs. May the same happen to you.

Yeah you're right - I should have just kept sitting there jerkin' my nuts around and been happy about it.  I made an effort to improve things not only for me but for the business and YES I'm a little surprised he let me go.

Sorry to hear that you got canned Jeff. I know it sucks.     Read this and smile in the morning

The sun was shining brightly
And I could hardly wait
To raise my breakfast window
And gaze on Gods Estate

The wind was blowing gently
It brushed the flowers away
And everything was enchanting
Upon this God blessed day

My eyes fell forth
On a pritty yellow bird
I beconked him to come and lite
Upon my window sill

Cheerfully I held forth a crust of bread
And quickly closed the window and smashed his goll darn head :bigsmile:


Chear up buddy, things will get better now. Doesnt sound like you were going anywhere with that job anyways :2thumbs:

Sorry to hear what happened to you Jeff. I hope you get a better job that keeps you busier than that one.

Right now, I'm in the same boat. I've been doing quotes but haven't been able to get the business. Because our pricing is always too high. I know my heads on the chopping block and it's just as well if they launch me too. Today I received a call and the caller said they were calling about the new position being offered.

As for you and me there's a saying...It was meant to be.

Sucks man, like I said I'm looking for another good advisor but am a country away from you.
Keep positive and keep active. It's the agressive individual that gets the good jobs.

Just be glad, glad, glad that you don't live in michigan, as we have the highest unemployment rate in the nation.  I know that won't make you feel any better, but you could be living here and that would really suck.

Hope you find another source of income soon because the loss of a job is truly stressful.

Go ahead and vent,  :pullinghair: because you need to get it off your chest.  I feel for you man, stay cool, and I hope you find something soon.

Ironic, you meet with him to tell him you want to work harder and you get laid off. Others who do less and like it get to keep their job. Yes, the meek will inherit the earth. Don't worry, one door closes and oanther one opens. You'll get a great job and never look back

Jeff, that really bites, when all you want to do is work more,,,, hmmmm maybe with your training, and if you have the capital, or find some backing you could start up your own shop. Thats something I'd like to try but the competition is stiff in my area,,,, find your niche area and go for it.
