Thanks so much for the prayers and support Brothers! It is greatly appreciated.
Today wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. My main priority is taking care of Mrs. BW. Getting financial affairs in order and job hunting were a close second.
Went to six factories and filled out employment applications. Scheduling an interview Monday for a good paying production job.
Keeping my fingers and toes crossed!
And YES! I'm going to every interview BALD AND PROUD!!!
it sucks to forced to make a changed but you've got the right attitude to make it better and move forward in your life
keep your sly head up and keep fighting
Hang in there BW, something will turn up!
hey bw: just wanted 2 let ya know that i'll B praying 4 ya. i hope everything will go your way.
WARHAWK
Great attitude BW. Don't sell yourself short and good luck with new employment!
That sucks man. Been there done that. What line of work are you in ?
Also...word to the wise....take taxes out of your unemployment...otherwise you REALLY get hammered come tax time. Also...dont rush into the first job that wants to hire you. You should have 6 months of unemployment coming your way at about 527.00 per week (depending on your previous salary)--if you can survive on that then you can be a little pickier when choosing a new job.
Hey buuckk, sorry to hear about the bad news, but you've definitely got your head in the right place. Keep up the positive attitude, and it will take you through this.
Keep your smooth bald head held high.
Good things will come along for you.
American.....Been through it years ago when someone in my family was fired because the new VP of the company didn't like them. Totally unfair and unjustified and we thought we had a good case until the attorney explained to us "Employment at Will". Was nothing we could do.......
Sorry to hear, man....
I've been there too.....actually looked at it as a BEGINNING not an END.....an OPPORTUNITY rather than MISFORTUNE.......it's a pain in the ass though.
You've got the right attitude for channeling your ANGER
To be honest, I've been down this road a few times, and each time it stinks!
I have no intention of taking my former employer to court because it is a waste of valuable time that I can be using trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.
The way I see it, they lost someone who knew the position better than anyone else. Now a few people will have to grow up and learn the hard way what I was trying to teach them. I'm no longer there to save the day and do the tough jobs that no one wanted to do. Their loss will be someone else's fortune.
I'm not mad any more. What is done, is done. Now I've closed this 51/2 year chapter in my life and preparing for another, more profitable chapter.
Employment is funny like that. With each ending, there is usually a new exciting beginning.....if you play it right!
Atta boy BW, go get em bro, the world would be great if everyone could have your attitude !! Good luck....
