Default More time for my tank!

Well due to unfortunate circumstances, my company laid off all it's staff this week.

Today was my last day, but the bright side is now I've got more time to spend at home with my tank. And I can sleep in every day! Lets just hope I can be a productive member of the EI Ski team for a month or longer, and still keep my house!

And BTW, now I have more time on my hands, and people tend to go a bit crazy when they have too much time on their hands (see Darren and Marc)... And I will go POSTAL if someone doesn't make the snowflakes stop slowing my computer down to an almost unbearable crawl. (And this isn't any 486 I'm running here either!)

Sorry to hear, Andrew. The good news is that the economy has more or less flatten out...so there is only the up side.

It may be quite easy to find another job in your area. Unfortunately, my company isn't hiring for the next year.

Good luck !

- Victor.

Hey guys, thanks for the well-wishes and sympathy.

Not sure if the company is going to find it's legs in the new year, so I'm not sticking around to find out. I'm going to collect EI for a bit and see if I can take the next month off. Then I'll start looking for something in the new year.

As for LFS runs, well certainly I'll be looking, but probably not much buying in the near term. [img]images/smiles/icon_redface.gif[/img]

Sorry to hear- I get laid off yearly at about this time and while the time to do things is nice the cash situation isn't (even when it's expected.) Hope you enjoy the recreational time and good-luck when you go looking again! Keep in mind that W.H. Davies said "A poor life this if, full of care, we have no time to stop and stare."

But....that would mean actually working and earning income, which would most certainly dent the tiny amount of EI that I should likely get in the next 4-6 weeks.

Sounds bad, but I think I'd rather enjoy the holidays and live on the dole for a few weeks, rather than work part time for pennies. I figure I deserve it, as I've never collected EI after paying in for almost 15 years.

Now I would consider volunteering my time at a LFS. Perhaps a couple "gift" items in return? [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] (hmmmm, wheels turning)
