Good luck V, I hope this turns out to be a good thing for you.

Trilby · 12-02-2005, 01:51 PM

Oh, BigV--I am so sorry. Change is so very difficult, but, for me, even when it's been a horrible bitch, it's been GOOD (in hindsight--)

---look. This sucks so much--right at Christmas. We are here for you. UT is right-you ARE a good guy. Chin up.

dar512 · 12-02-2005, 03:08 PM

Wow, V. That's harsh - right before the holidays. Your profile says computer wrangler. Is this going to be a big deal for you, or is it just a matter of polishing up the resume?

Happy Monkey · 12-02-2005, 06:42 PM

That sucks. Good luck.

Clodfobble · 12-02-2005, 10:06 PM

I'm really sorry, V. I hope this turns out to be a blessing in disguise.

wolf · 12-03-2005, 01:42 PM

BigV, you're in my thoughts.

Some years back, losing a job was the best thing that ever happened to me. I hope that it can be for you.

xoxoxoBruce · 12-03-2005, 08:28 PM

Holy Shit! Bummer, man. Fired or laid off?
Post coordinates, after your safely clear, and we'll see what we can do about an air strike.....we're testing Apaches all the time.

You're the 5th person that's told me they lost their job this week. What the hell is going on? I know it's W's fault somehow.

This may be your "big break". You sound like you know your computer stuff, have the personality and language skills, plus a good attitude. You'll be OK, I'm sure of that. After the ripples settle down you'll find a better position.

Of course you may choose to be a goat farmer or run Radar's campaign.
Whatever, you'll do it with style......Big V style.

I echo wolf. I'm living proof also, I just started a good job a week ago after losing a good one a year ago. It was scary and very depressing at times, but right now I feel a lot better about my working future that I have in the last ten years. You'll get there too. (And it wouldn't have been a whole year, but I worked six months in between, at a suck job that I thought would work into a good one....)

It's true, it IS getting tough out there, but you'll make it through this ok. Keep us updated, and if you get bitchy or whiny, ya got a place to vent!

justmehere99 · 12-04-2005, 08:45 AM

BigV, are you ok?

Cyclefrance · 12-05-2005, 07:48 AM

Trilby · 12-05-2005, 08:27 AM

I haven't heard from him and I did PM him on Friday, too...hope all is ok...

mrnoodle · 12-05-2005, 05:02 PM
