No more selling windows for an asshole?
fack!
fark!
let us know if there is anything we can do
yup.... no more deals on windows for you guys ;)
my goal is to be employed by next Friday.
The local Barnes and Nobles is looking for a music manager. I can do that ;D
the local Borders is closing their music department, so you should see an increase in sales (and job security).
Best of luck!
I wished the man luck and told him that he was making his biggest mistake, said not just because I no longer am employed, but because he truely does not see the big picture. He was and is the detail guy.. I am/was the big picture guy.
why do I have this feeling that you'll come out of this in a situation that is better? [thumbsup]
I'm trying to remember back, but didn't you say there was another competing store on the other side of town that would hire you?
I'm sure you'll find something. [thumbsup]
Not sure whether to send condolences or congratulations...but I have a feeling this will end up being a positive change for you in the end.
enjoy your [drink]
Hope things work out for you Joel! [thumbsup]
Funny how people are getting laid off and I'm the only one dumb enough to be quitting. Hmmm... Maybe I should rethink what I'm doing 3 people got the axe at my company today too. [roll]
One of our window suppliers has what they call.... window depots. They stayed out of Bakersfield out of respect to our business.
now.... that I am no longer gainfully employed... I am free to contact them, and inquire about running a Bakersfield location, see'n how my "old" boss will soon be toast ;)
Success really is the best revenge, isn't it?
Sorry to hear about the hiccup. We all know you'll come out of this smelling like roses. [beer]
or..... I'll sell the 1098 and buy silkscreening supplies then open up my dream business, and work out of the garage ;D

You'll be fine.
Yeah, you will be fine. Your reputation speaks for itself ( in a good way) and if that stupid boss doesn't recognize what he's got, then tough you-know-whats to him!!! Something good will happen.
Joel, I hope everything works out for you. Good luck and if you need anything, we'll help out in any way we can. [thumbsup]
There is bright side.
I believe you are now free to go with silentbob to pick up his new truck and JBub's bike.

Good luck with the job search. These situations can also be good for some re-tooling and re-skilling.
Errr.. :-[
But..as mentioned previously..you'll come out on top somehow J! [thumbsup]
well, seeing as how you seemed to be quite unhappy with what was going on there, congrats, you now have the catalyst to seek better employment.

Sucks that you are involuntarily unemployed. Maybe you will be able to buy own window store cheap after Mr. Detail runs it into the ground.
Sorry BP. Good luck with the new job (or business), and if there's anything I can do...

Exactly what DD said! Although having read past posts related to "crapco" â€" I want to say "congratulations" but also "that bites."
well that sucks. If there is anything you need from up north just ask.
Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
I think you need a road trip. There is still time to get your ticket.
Best of luck to ya! [thumbsup] You were very supportive when I made a similar announcement. Thanks again. I am upset that a person and employee of your caliber is unwillingly unemployed. However, I find some humor in the fact that your recent subject title, "angry yet calm" does not carry the same amount of animosity as when you found out your ex-boss was going to be more hands-on. I think that reveals your true feelings. ;)
Please don't think I'm being too light hearted about the situation. I know things will work out better the you could hope for. [thumbsup]
I've followed the exploits of your employment with this company thru this site...
All I can say is: F' them, their loss!
Good guys like you can only do better after something like this!
[beer], and here's to a better future!
You will come out of this much better off than you were before. I just know it. Meanwhile, if there's anything you need, count me in on the list of folks willing to help out.
It sucks when people and do the career planning for you - his loss obviously.
But, it sounds like this is what is going to get you to do what you wanted to do in the first place...
Good luck, keep us posted.

There, I fixed that. I have three neighbors working out of their garages. One whole family works together on a solar powered hydrogen generator prototype, another builds very high end loudspeakers and the third builds snowboards, although I think they recently expanded into a commercial shop.
This garage/business system seems to work pretty good. If it really is your dream business, there probably won't ever be a better time than now, even if the economy is not so hot at the moment. You can probably get supplies and equipment for cheap.
I'm going to be an optimist and say congratulations. Don't know your relationship with your old boss but it would be cool if you stick it to him. It sounds as if you struck up a deal with your old glass supplier you could really hurt your old boss. Don't know anything about the glass business but perhaps you have a loyal customer base that would rather deal with you than him. Maybe your just tired of the business all together and its time for a new direction. Either way I wish you the breast of luck.
Jon
Good luck Joel. His loss and your gain. Something better will show up!
If you're serious about your dream business......
This may be the opportunity you need.
The worst that can happen if you start your business is you "fail" (with the right plan and proper forethought - unlikely) and have to get a job - not so different than where you are now.......
You have a great creative side - don''t be afraid to take the leap.

Thanks Rob...... and thank all of you for your kindness (as always :-*)
Last night lm and I talked over a few options for bringing income into the house that are home-based, selling Bob by the pound (her idea)...... helping her dad out by putting up all his old watches, clocks, appliance tools and parts, and other old valuable stuff that's piled up in his shop, on eBay...... even the shirt idea.
This weekend, she'll help me write a proper resume, I'll scan the ads, and by Monday, I'll hit the ground running. (even if mythbusters proved it to be inneffective)
Lots of options out there.. and once the pissy mood/shock of being let go softens..... it will all come into focus.
QuoteLots of options out there.. and once the pissy mood/shock of being let go softens..... it will all come into focus.
I'm sure it will. I have some more free advice that you probably don't need. Don't hold any grudges against your old boss, just forget about him. If you do start a new business that competes with his business, do it because the business is what you really want to do for yourself, not to pay him back.

The man gave me lots of learning opportunities. He's a good human, just a crappy businessman.
I wished him luck, shook his hand, and thanked him for all I was given.
My only regret in our conversation yesterday..... when he said that knew he had made mistakes in the past, and wished he could go back and do things differently..... I wish I would have said...... "this moment right now, is your chance to do something different."

I just got off the Countys job list website..... they be looking for a graphic artist, and poof!!! I meet the requirements.....
and..the shelters looking for helpers too.
yeeeeeaaaaaah!!!
good luck with the job search/income plan.
I bought a decent button/pin/badge press for about $300 a few years ago and it paid for itself in about 2 weeks. Rather than sell the 1098 (which I don't think you're doing - or hope not anyway), you could press a few pins to finance the screening tables. Something tells me you could sell a few dozen buttons with a mime in a gun sight pretty quickly.

I like the idea of making a difference in the world.
I like the idea of having a career that matters.
lm and I talked about it a lil during dinner, and I think we'll be doing quite a bit more talking about in the weeks to come.
I may be able to be hired on as an alt. ed. aid while I take classes at the local JC, and when the time is right, all transfer over to csub, and finish up there.

You will hate the system.
Frustration will get to you.
You will work your tail off only to be told by others you have an easy job and are overpaid.
Then again, every once in a while you will make a difference and it will all be worth while.
Then again, you know that, you married a teacher.
GO FOR IT, the world will be a little better because of you 8)

I'm not an old make the beast with two backser like you [cheeky] (will be 33 on Wed) , but old enough to have to think twice about a complete career/lifestyle/education change. A few weeks ago, I had one of those same moments you did. Realized that I've kinda been chasing my tail all these years. Long story short, I start school this summer and if all goes as planned, I should be done when I'm around your age.
Good luck man. I really hope it all works out for ya.
BP - I teach middle school and my fiancée is interning to be a high school teacher. If fact, that's where my fiancée and I 1st crossed paths. She was observing teachers for a class to see what type of things went on in the classroom.
Howie was pretty accurate. Your day never begins at 8, always before. It never ends at 3 either. I fill in for bus drivers to support my motorcycle habit. There are plenty of rewarding aspects of the job. Like, when this super-difficult kid, that was an absolute pain in the ass sends you a Christmas card saying they're finally graduation and thanking you for putting up with them long enough to teach them something. Lots of rewards, just none are in your paycheck. The time off in the summer is awesome, being home around Christmas is nice, being off when kids/grandkids are off are a huge benefit in my mind.
PM me if you want to know something. Middle school is a very, very tough crowd, but I love (almost) every minute of it

albeit late 8)
Never too late. My mom became a high school science teacher at 55 and finished out her "working career" doing that.
And oddly a good buddy of mine who'd been doing general contractor work for the last 20 years is now a teacher as well.
Honestly, I think finding out how much the "private sector" can blow donkey chunks makes for a better teacher.
Hell, I'd do it if not for the whole "I'm a greedy souless bastard" thing ;D
