    Default Not so Good News

    Well it was fun while it lasted - actually 10-12hour days can not be much fun. Anyways the owner of the company I worked for came up to me today and said that he regrets it a lot but unfortunatelly he has to let me go. Reason lots of BS One of the executives in the know told me that the owner has a nephew who needs experience for his resume and having a bit too much too eat and drink at the Thanksgiving dinner he promised the newphew my job.

    Oh well I got paid through the end of the week so I guess I will use that money to buy some good booze some good cigars and relax for a few days and then it is back to the races

    Anyone in need of a person with an MBA and middle management experience just let me know

    Sorry to hear this Dan. Great attitude, though.

    I hate to hear it when it's me, but generally this corny phrase is true:

    "When one door closes, it means a better one is can be opened."


    Smoke a good one and then give em hell .

    That's a shitty deal man!! You'll fiind something better, with less stress, and making more money, and closer to a cigar store!!! Then you can laugh at the bastards every morning on your way in to the office.

    You can now collect unemplyment, its not that bad. I recomend applying for a scuba diving instructor, bar tender, ski instructor, liquor distributor, cigar merchant, pimp...I mean the possibilities of dream jobs are endless! Good luck finding something you enjoy.

    Sorry to hear that, Dan. That's a shit deal but that happens more than we'd like to think.

    Tough luck Dan.

    Smoke something nice and treat yourself to a nice drink. Just don't overdo it. Times like this you don't need a hangover!

    I completely agree with an earlier post - these things happen for a reason, and that there's something better for you out there. Good luck!

    BOOOOOOO!!!!

    I hate it when bad things happen to good people. That is CRAP!!!!

    Well at least you have a good attitude about it, go file for unemployment ASAP, just in case.

    I'm sure with your background and being in NYC you shouldn't have a problem finding something better with minimal effort.

    Good luck!

    Dag, that's beat man. I'm very impressed with you attitude though, it's a lot better than mine would be.

    Good luck, and enjoy your time off before hitting the grind again.

    Thanks for your support eeryone. I hope like many suggested something better comes along soon.

    For now I am enjoying a few good cigars, nice liquor, gourmet coffee and when a bit of agression slips into my mind I just turn on a shoot em up video game and blow some steam for half an hour or so
