Prayers for a speedy resolution

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.

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.

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

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

Glad to hear the good news and will continue to pray for you.

Glad you got something while you look for something else.

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

I ask him every Monday morning.

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.

10-23-2009, 07:14 AM

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.
