Hey, Mingster. I'm kinda out of work as well so I kinda know what you are going through. Most important thing is you have your health, family, & friends. For now, have a drink & relax. Tomorrow, concentrate on what you are best at. With your dream & creativity, I'm sure you will be on your feet in no time.

cheers,

Damn Richard, this has been a bad month for you. Look at it this way, you didn't loose your job. You were just set free to take advantage of other opportunities! You will be all right and you have a wonderful supportive wife who will be right by your side.

Sorry to hear about your employment status. I'm sure things will work out for the best!

Like someone else stated you are a talented free agent now find a company that is deserving of your talents.

Good Luck!

Cool!!!

Now you can get paid to get your own business going. You've got computer skills, an MBA and a kick ass car. You've already started a business already so you are half way there. That's what I did and I didn't even get a package. Don't waste a second worrying, just get on it!

It's a glass half full/half empty thing. You can look at is as misfurtune and waste your time or look at it as an opportunity. Fate my man. Everything has brought you to this point in your life. You've got time to get your web site fully developed, take the time to visit and recruit new vendors and get paid by NASA while you are doing it. After that you've got unemployment which isn't much but you should have some company revenue by then.

This is an opportunity dude, sieze it. You took that MBA for a reason.

Now, I think we all understand why you posted about your wife a short time back. This is but a minor setback.
My father had a saying: "Everything works out, if you let it."
I know this looks bleak at the moment, but soon you will look back at this as just another small annoyance.

Thanks for all your support guys, really really appreciate it. My wife is great, she hugged me and said she's working too, so I shouldn't worry.

Anyways, if anyone is interested in checking out my very much shortened (from 4 pages down to 1) resume, please right click here to download:
