Nzoner's Game Room>Blowfish got Whacked
gblowfish 01:14 PM 02-04-2023
I lost my job yesterday.

Didn't really get "fired." More like laid off. They told me they couldn't afford to pay me any more, and end of February would be my last day.

I'm a free agent. If anybody here in the KC area could use a guy like me in customer service, or a work from home deal, I'm open to just about anything. I'd been with my employer for 16 years, and with my previous employer before that for 20. I've been in media manufacturing for 36 years. First time I've been unemployed since 1985. It's a little scary. Have no idea what I'll do next. But it's also kind of exciting, as I can go and do just about anything. I just hope it doesn't take a long time to get somebody to take a chance on me. If you guys have any leads for me, pm me for my cell or email to gblowfish@comcast.net. I've got a resume I can send you.

Thanks for the good mojo. I'm a little blue this weekend as you can imagine.

Mrs. B took me to dinner last night, then we saw "A Man Called Otto" with Tom Hanks. Geez...what a laugh riot. I haven't chuckled that much since I saw "Schindler's List!" I feel so much better now.

I was just gonna say something similar.
But in real life— my grandpa owned a restaurant in north central Missouri, ran it for 35 + years, sold it and retired. Within a year he went out and worked for Hardee’s for a few years until he “fully” retired.
No shame in my book, Blowfish you’ll land on your feet. Good luck brother!!

Maybe he's immortal and so can never retire.

Good luck. Hoping I'm not in your position in the next few months.

Our company is taking steps to try to avoid layoffs, but we'll see where things end up.

A practice retirement run! Which should be at least partially funded!
