Bout 3pm today I got a call from the office.The manager said "I really was hoping this went to voice mail.......but since I got ya here I guess I need to let you know you and 30 other guys are being laid off."

I replied......"OK just tell that yahoo in payroll if he tries to screw me out of 1 minutes vacation I'll be back."LOL

Gotta go in tomorrow and turn everything in and sadly say goodbye to some long time friends.

Anyhow by 6pm I had a job offer........it's nice to have close contacts in this business where bridges are so often burned.I accepted......they're trying to set me up with a flight to Birmingham Sunday nite.Looks like back to work on Monday.

I REFUSE TO BE A NUMBER TOUTED BY THEM DIMWITS IN WASHINGTON!!!!!!!!!!

Ron

Best of luck getting something better.

I wish you well!

Hey it's da American way , Have a nice vacation and when u r ready come back bigger and better!I never get laid off cause i work on 100% commision i just quit and have had 71 jobs since my 1st quit !

THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT

OBAMA IS RIGHT !

The "company" I work for spent $$$$ like drunken sailors, on all kinds of crap we didn't need, art market tanked, fired six a week ago, just a few of us left, barely holding on, more galleries closing or going chap 7, think I'm next cuz I can't suck up to the prolitariat.

"Anyhow by 6pm I had a job offer........it’s nice to have close contacts in this business where bridges are so often burned.I accepted......they’re trying to set me up with a flight to Birmingham Sunday nite.Looks like back to work on Monday."

Oh, kerist. That means we're stuck with you for the rest of the week....

Glad things worked out OK for you Ron.

Have a great mini vacation.

WB,Sorry to hear that. Stay positive,dust yourself off and get out there hunting another employment opportunity. Good Luck. X

Uhum, X, read the 4th paragraph. Ron already has another job.

Thanks TG.........I love you to.LOL

Since departing the US Navy in 1989 I have never been without a job.I consider that quite a feat since this is my 2nd layoff and once I just got flat a$$ fired.............$hit like that seems to happen when you have a prick for a boss and you remind him of it every day.That one day I reminded him before he had his coffee.LOL

Ron

Something like this happened the last time I got fired. I expected to maybe take a couple of weeks and get stuff done around the house.

A week later I landed a job.

I guess the key is to want to somehow enjoy being let go, which will guarantee that you'll never get to enjoy it.

WB- glad things are looking up and quickly

best to you

Sorry to here about the layoff but good things happen to good guys. Good luck on the new job Rod.... I mean Ron. STICK IT TO DA MAN!!!

Good for you... Sucks loosing a job (Been there) But since you seemed to have landed on your feet even before you actually left the old one!!! great for you!!

The country would be MUCH better off if more people had that attitude!

Congrats!

Confirmed.........I should be in Birmingham by 9PM Sunday nite.The more I find out about their layout the better it sounds.Their benefits beat the crap out of the old job.GOD does work in mysterious ways.

Now any B/Sotl in the Birmingham area?????

Ron
