    Sorry for the loss of the job. As others have said, it might be a chance to find something as good or better. My wife went through the same thing years ago, and didn't realize what she was missing out on until a new offer came along.
    It's all good!

        Sorry about the news. I do believe when one door shuts a bigger one opens. I was let go by a company (6 or so years ago), out of the blue, completely unexpected, and had a family of five to feed. They were a small startup and running into some non-compete issues with a company that was their former parent company. I got myself in gear right away and a little over a month later, a job opportunity just 10 miles from home, making more money, less stress, etc. In retrospect, that layoff was one of the biggest blessings I have ever received.

            Good Luck to you Mike .
            ... My current Job is coming to an End ... Maybe around September-ish ... , Unless a Bunch of people keep jumping ship, like they are ... So I guess anything after that Point would be considered on Borrowed Time. .. I'd like to find a Job again..., where I could work it for 2to3 years... I'd own the place, and be the Boss ... instead of always the "New Guy" .

              Hey Mike, In one way it may seem like a bad thing right now to you because of the economy being in the crapper and you have bills to pay I am sure. On the other hand think positive. It is actually a window of opportunity for you to do better in the near future. When one door shuts another door opens.

                    That really saddens me to hear that J. I do not want to try to hi jack this thread or take the lime light of of Mike and his issues, but I just could not help to chime in on this.

                    You are a truly amazing customizer and I just cannot beleive no one has realized your mad skills as of yet. I guess the right person just has not seen your work yet. Hang in there buddy! Your day is coming.

                      Your very much welcome Mike. I know that talk is cheap, but I truly do believe that you will come out on top when the dust all settles.

                        Wanna work for the government..? Just keep an eye on usajobs.opm.gov.

                        Job postings you're looking for in all geographical locations comes in cycles.., sometimes there's dry periods, other times they all come at once.

                        I've been a public sector guy since 9/11 and it's been fantastic..

                        Don't worry about hiring freezes ~ They come and go quickly, in all reality. And you don't have to worry about the younger folk stealing your jobs, superb job security.

                        But when you're looking for positions, don't spend too much time looking for some 'dream job'..: Get anything entry level (especially since you probably don't have a military background....?), then move around from within.

                        You can still start your own business, as you mentioned above, but at least you'll have great income to keep from selling your toy collections..

                        {....wait, NO.. terrible advice...} PLEASE sell us your toy collection.. LOL.

                          I am so sorry Mike. I wish you the very best and hope you get back on your feet fast. You have all my hopes! Just remember - There's a better future awaiting you. You just have to go get it. I know you will!
