Re: Just Got Laid Off
 

Sorry to hear it, brother.
I'm professionally laid off. It goes with my work. I might not be able to find you a job, but I can sure tell you stuff to do while you don't have one. :)
Enjoy the time. Smell the roses.
Once you get another job, it might be lots and lots of years before you ever get another opportunity like this. :tu

Sorry to hear this Al. Stay positive. I hope things work out for you. :tu

Re: Just Got Laid Off
 

UPDATE!!!


Well, last night I had a couple of drinks (thank you Richard ;)) and a couple of smokes to clear my head. This morning I went a got a job at a rail yard for half what I was making and twice the hours. But it has insurance and it's a pay check so it's a start. Actually, it's a job just like I had 25 years ago when I got into the intermodal business. So, I'm starting over sorta speak. The boss is also ok with me continuing to look for a better paying job! Told me to do what's best for my family no hard feelings.
I'm thankful for having a job and will make the best of it.

I want to thank each and everyone of you for your support in this thread, PM's, BB messages, email and phone calls. No way to explain to folks what is done here. Truly a wonderful group of people. Thank you for everything.

Re: Just Got Laid Off
 

It really is hard to explain. You start talking and get that squint look and realize it's a lost cause. :r

Glad to hear you were able to find something so quickly Al. Hopefully you'll find something more financially fulfilling soon. :tu

Re: Just Got Laid Off
 

Glad to hear the good news and will continue to pray for you.
This community is hard to explain to people. I stopped trying. I just know it is a great group of people here that I wish I could meet member.

Re: Just Got Laid Off
 

Prayers sent dude.

Re: Just Got Laid Off
 

:tpd:

Glad to see you bounce back so quickly, even if it only a temporary reprieve.:tu

Re: Just Got Laid Off
 

excellent news Al. It may not be perfect, but its a good start and hopefully everything keeps getting better.

Re: Just Got Laid Off
 

:tpd:

Glad you got something while you look for something else.

I wish my boss would open the door and lay me off :D

I ask him every Monday morning.

Chas

Re: Just Got Laid Off
 

WOW. That was quick, Al! I just saw this thread now. Congrats on finding something so quickly.

Now to add a little levity to the situation...since you took something for half what you were making before, that means you don't have a cigar budget, right? So you will have to be provided with something to smoke. :p

Re: Just Got Laid Off
 

Al,

That great! Much congrats. Given this economy, anything that puts food on the table is good to have. Very glad to hear the news and continued good luck on the job search.

Re: Just Got Laid Off
 

A wise man speaks here. Glad something popped up to keep some $$$ flowing. If moving is an option, keep VA in mind. With all the DOD logistics in Richmond, the Army and NAvy in Norfolk, they move a lot of $hit.

If I remember corectly, you like JdNs and LFDs? :r

Re: Just Got Laid Off
 

Check your PM's.

Re: Just Got Laid Off
 

Glad you were able to find something so fast. It's a start and I hope you find something even better.

Re: Just Got Laid Off
 

Al, Glad to here the good news

Re: Just Got Laid Off
 

sorry to hear Al, prayers for you

Re: Just Got Laid Off
 

Good luck with the new job and the job searching.

Re: Just Got Laid Off
 

How was your first day at the new job? :D

Re: Just Got Laid Off
 

Glad You're Back In The Work Force, My Brother!:tu
