I guess the good news, is I'll get my 401k and retirement money out before they can steal it from me.

Thank God I own a bike (or two) for good psychiatry sessions when needed. And, for humor retention and good friends to ride with, the FLA Crew. Both Godsends.

Hey man, sorry to hear. If you're like me, the Ocala Rally seems like it is one hundred years away. I haven't committed to attend because of not knowing anything about my fate.

I have a daily routine Mon-Fri where I check a half dozen websites, and I have my resume soaking on Monster and Dice. I have written to HR centers at several BIG companies and am networking with former associates who fell before me and are out on the job market.

My job search has expanded to out of state, my max entitlement to Florida unemployment benefits is a joke. ($275/week).

My advice is to stay vigilant with local and national job postings. Just about any job beats unemployment pay.

A Friday ride might be good. Would need to be back by 4pm to go get the wife at the airport, though.

Could be open for me. Loved the 2Beers movie. Hopefully, will have something by then. But...

Guess that's a silver lining!

Well, I'm gonna figure that out. Since 1990, I have been in the Print Industry; sales, tech engineering (analyst), and most recently marketing. Print Industry has been flat for a long time, so not sure if something new is right. Would love computer and/or motorcycle something.

Didn't quite go that way, but would have loved doing it that way!

In my past experiences, better things have come ... although there were years of paying dues first, usually. Ahhh, to be in your 50's and starting again.

Thanks to everyone for the gracious comments and support. My job is finding a way to produce an income, so that's what we'll do with our days and time. PoorBoy, hope you're hangin' in there (and anyone else having this much fun) and thanks for the tips and support.
