Slept till 1030 this morning. Little sore but should be able to do light duty. I want to cut down some big trees but that has to wait.

Costco run... filled up the gas tank in the truck and picked up some food and stuff... 😟

Where's the "just spent a load of $$" emoji?

The axe is being swung at my prior employer. The guy who replaced me and the entire team reporting to him were all let go yesterday. Today, more were cut.

Bittersweet. Some really good people and their families will be hurting.

I’m not shedding any tears for some other people.
Person #1 took credit for work they didn’t have any part of completing (twice) at my expense.
Person #2 a backstabbing social climber.
Person #3 was the enforcer for the leader who told a team leader “when we talk about who we are and what we are about, it isn’t appropriate to mention your belief in Chistianity because it makes people uncomfortable.”
Person #4 was the boss who was a moderately effective Administrator, but one of the worst leaders I have ever met.
When I left….. she was my boss. Back back back! BAAACK! ….. She Gone!

Good morning...er... afternoon. Still in my pajamas. Wife as day off and we are just hanging out. Need to go to the pool, but she can't go today so I might not make it. =d>

LA v. Denver tonight.

Have a good one.

Chicken wire, stakes and twist ties, eh? [whip]

Get 18-24" tall chicken wire and tuck 2-4 inches under ground to prevent squeezing and digging under the new enclosure. Should be fairly cheep even if home Depot or Lowe's don't have it.

You beat out every one of them by creating your own path that doesn't require working there. Big win for you (even though friends are getting hurt by this)!

The axman "manager" that took over my old organization laid off several good folks to save some zeros, after he walked them out the gate, his manager came by and walked him out too. LMAO

Saving him for last, which is not common, left him with all the assigned grief and work and it much easier for his boss. I will definitely remember that wise maneuver.

Sounds like you got out in time and made the right decision to pseudo retire. Nice chess move for you.

Appreciate the kind words and support. Now that it has been 18 months since I left, the equation really came down to this.

If I would have stayed, I could have another $50,000 in the bank, which would be nice.

As Frank would remind me, a deal is only as good as the downside.

The downside would have been, my wife would have left me, my son would be disappointed in me, and I'd be more than likely dead, or have crawled into a bottle over my wife leaving.

A few of you (Macs, rfenst, Opel, and others whom I am forgetting) all told me to get out. Looks like I put off the best decision at the last possible moment.

Thank you, Brothers.

Your timing was right, or divinely inspired. I'm very happy it worked out for you.

I tend not to worry (too much) about the future any more. Things will work out how they work out and there is no sense getting yourself worked up about something that may or may not even happen.

Just think... "I'll be fine" and deal with any adversity as it happens. IF it happens. Life is a garden, brother... dig it.
