I'm back

[tbob]

After a brief period of being unemployed, I'm finally back on the board.  I'm sure some of you didn't even realize I was gone .  I have experienced one of those sudden, "In order to align our company's cost structure with projections, we have decided to eliminate your position...bs, bs, bs,,,", but I quickly found a better position with Freescale Semiconductors, more pay, more vacation.  I came out way ahead.  I hope that I can continue providing support to the community now that things are getting back to normal for me.

I thought you sold my ticket on Ebay for $202.37?  Life is good... sometimes.  See you at the concert.

Welcome back!

Lay-offs are things you have to develop a taste for, like Gin. I had a similar experience myself.

tbob,

Glad you're back. The layoff thing is going around in a lot of places. I just got the 'due to business, yada, yada, yada,' message as well.

Dennis, If you want to move to Arizona, we are looking for one more good test engineer.  This company department seems to be growing very well with a bright future in automotive electronics.

tbob,

Thanks. I actually have some time since the 'outsourcing' of my job and all of the others is going to take a few months. If the estimates for all of the knowledge and technology transfers are as accurate as all of the other past project, it could be years before it's all done.

tbob,

Those events can be unpleasant as they unfold, but a good skill set and a positive attitude can often yield an improvement as you seemed to have experienced. Welcome back.
