Getting "asked to leave" my last job was one of the best things to happen to me.

Just look at me now! I got a fancy semi-private shipping container for a house, a free gun, and all the bullets I can sign for!
Did I ever tell you the story about the Zen master and the little boy?

It was a refreshing feeling when I left my former position and became ......................RETIRED at age 56.

Congrats!

In this economy, that is rare.  I think most of us are trying to hang on to what we got.  So you're in pretty good shape   [thumbsup]  and yeah nerds rule the adult world so you're in good shape.

DoubleEagle - cool retire at young 56.  That is something most of us strive for but I have a feeling won't luck out unfortunately.

Get a job you flippin' slacker!

;D

Have two technically. I just have to start the other one.

I hope it'll be good - the company does has a reputation for burning out people - but I was scouted by a buddy of mine who hasn't lead me wrong yet. So I hope his record holds.

Our rules for this boy were no fire arms, explosives, booze, or porn may be given as gifts and no Jiu Jitsu in the house. She neglected non gun powder fired projectiles and Rugby in the house... I'm working the loop holes.

That's me... an inspiring figure. I actually hope he does leave. He's under appreciated and under paid. But he's never worked any place else really so I think there's some fear of change
