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.

I would love to.... but Im now living on the cheap ;)

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.

Self employment isn't all "roses" but at least you'll like your boss

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.

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.

I thought it was "The best revenge is to screw their sister". I've been doing wrong for years, apprently.



I'd say I'm sorry Joel, but that was a shitty job, so, you know, screw that. You'll get something better in no time flat.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Man Joel, weird, weird mixed blessing. I'm sure this is just the first part of a great opportunity.
Better that you're out of there. Now go and do what you want to do instead!  [thumbsup]

There are no grudges.

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."

Yesterday, at lunch, I got a fortune cookie that said  something like "now is the time to use your creativity" or something like that.......  I once got a cookie that said, "you will soon have new pants". It came true too    [laugh]

Basing your major life choices on fortune cookies has always served me well ;D
