Sorry to hear about this. Hopefully it will only be a short sabbatical!

shilala · 01-19-2010, 08:27 AM

You have plenty of stuff to build, brother.

Well played.
Yes, Ohio Unemployment is awful. You gotta sign up in PA or Massachusetts.

My work environment has been one of huge uncertainty for over a year now and guys with 20 years experience are being sent packing and others are taking medical leave from the stress.

They say things happen for a reason, and hopefully "they're" right.

It's a tough time we're going through but I have a strong feeling you'll be fine.

Planning for the future and having a plan for a rainy day is a sign of a smart man.

Best wishes.

Though it has been said plenty of time, not sure it can be said too many...... Sorry for the bump in the road/misfortune. Strange how often times what looks like misfortune can turn into something in our favor, I send positive thoughts your way. If an act of selflessness can bring good things our way.....your ahead of the game.

My prayers are with you.

jwintosh · 01-20-2010, 10:15 PM

Keep your head high and turn these events into positives. Best of luck!

IBQTEE1 · 01-21-2010, 10:58 AM

Sorry about everything. But good karma is coming your way.

RevSmoke · 01-21-2010, 07:35 PM

How I missed this earlier???

God's blessings to you Chas.

BradNC · 01-21-2010, 07:39 PM

Sounds like the time to start "Chas's Custom Vinos" with shelves/drawers and veneer skins on the outside so it looks more like a piece of furniture.

I'm sure all will work out in the end for you. Many, many folks wishing you well!

01-21-2010, 07:44 PM

Its does suck but we did the same thing. I am still looking for a job but went back to college to finish my degree. It will work out too for you! If ya need anything just ask!

blugill · 01-21-2010, 07:59 PM

Amazing decision!
You did something few others would do and I applaud you sir!

jaymz · 01-22-2010, 08:44 PM

Good to hear you are looking at these changes as opportunities

Best of luck to you

Goldie · 01-26-2010, 12:50 AM

Sorry to hear that Chas. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, and everything will work out in the end. The bad part is that the end can sometimes be nowhere in sight.

On a side note, I know where you are coming from. I got laid off from BMW of North America at the end of March. The bright side is that I am back in school and will be doing something that will make a difference in the world.

Keep your chin up.

DPD6030 · 01-26-2010, 01:16 AM

Chuck. Thoughts and prayers with you. You're a great BOTL and a great person in general. Kudos to you to take the layoff.
