DDC XXXIV: The Original Home Of The DISDads!!!

This isn't Delaware! @Captain_Oblivious

You can cross the state on the major highways in about 2 hours.... but diagonally, it would take about 4 hours (possibly longer) to get from one end to the other.

Dude...I've driven on I-95 in CT. The only way you're getting through in 2 hours is if you're going at 3 a.m.

Been waiting a good long while to be able to say this...

Ticker Check!

Hi Guys! So Wednesday morning I get called into a meeting with the President and VP of HR for the new company who own us. Yup, they were sorry to tell me that my job has been eliminated. Saw it coming, company doesn't need two purchasing dept. Not sure what road I'm going to take on this next adventure of mine, but I do know what I'm going to do next. My last day is March 31st, I'll leave work no later that 2:30 to get on a flight at 4:00 to Disney!

Well, that really sucks. Make sure you bring a resume with you to Disney, just in case!

Sorry to hear, Randall. But at least you have a trip to look forward to.

Good luck with whatever might come next for you!

Yeah, what Barry said.

Well, that sucks. I'm sorry to hear that, Randall. I hope you get back on your feet soon, and...

...I hope this is the very first plan for doing so!

Just got a text from Shawn, he is out of surgery and is waiting for the results. Praying he hears nothing but good news.

In Disney, my weakness' are Dole Whips and Jasmine.

Happy Friday!! We watched Big Hero 6 last night. We really enjoyed it. We paid for our room yesterday so it is official, we're going to Disney World!! The kids have no idea and we will not tell them anything until after the magic bands arrive and we are about 2-3 weeks out. Randall, please add my crazy family down for being in the world 5/9-5/15. We worked hard to pull this off. I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate being together for a year as a family of eight.

Way to go Duck. Can't wait to see pictures/videos/stories of the trip.

Been waiting a good long while to be able to say this...

Ticker Check!

Another way to go.

That sucks Randall. We need to sacrifice some chickens or something to change the karma of 2015.

Got my own little ray of 2015 crapola yesterday. Due to an accounting error, I now owe the IRS $12,500. Money put away for a car is now gone.

Sorry to hear that Randall. Glad that you weren't blindsided by it but it is still a pain to get the news. Hope you find something quick and that they give you plenty of time for your Disney addiction.

Yea, I was thinking about him the last couple of days. Glad he is through it and I hope for good results. Thanks for the update.

I think the dirty secret of the NFL is that watching the game on TV is actually a better experience.

A great news. Good luck on the surprise trip.

Sorry to hear that Randall. You going to keep working or make this retirement? Any severance?

That is just plain...wrong. Tell them you'll send a check when they recover all of their "misplaced" e-mails from the scandal.

Yet another reason why my nemesis stinks.

Hmm, other DISdads at the world while we are there the second week of May. This could be trouble.

I've been trying to talk someone into a takeover for years, lol. Where are you guys staying?

Retirement, like too, don't think so. Severance? Yup!

Aaaaarg! That's no good.
They should have gotten rid of the other department.

I went through that a while back and was similarly unsurprised. It didn't make it much better but at the time it was almost a lifting of the weight off my shoulder. Interestingly, I had a trip coming up that month as well. I decided I wasn't going to worry about anything for the first few weeks until we got back. Turns out that one of the other departments in the company hear that I'd been let go, call me down at the coast and offered me something different once I got back.

May you encounter a new opportunity even more quickly than that sir.
In either case, enjoy the trip.

Just got a text from Shawn, he is out of surgery and is waiting for the results. Praying he hears nothing but good news.

Thanks for the heads up.
Shawn is due for some good and if there's fairness in the world, large amounts of it would be in order.

Got my own little ray of 2015 crapola yesterday. Due to an accounting error, I now owe the IRS $12,500. Money put away for a car is now gone.

That's some accounting error.
Is all of that due to the oversight or is it part of the whole (none my business to be sure... but I was hoping that you were prepaired for at least part of that rarher then the entire thing being a "surprise").

Well, I want to say you suck. But I can't.

Have fun. Congratulations on getting a ticker added.

Sure you can. I said similar things last two times you went down toward WDW.
Have at it.

Sweet! I'm assuming this is on the Fantasy?

Thanks guys! And yes... it is most excellent.
We've been generally planning this for some time but it wasn't until I got through the medical stuff and finished paying the thing off before I could honestly say that it wouldn't be getting canceled.

It is aboard the Fantasy. That's the only ship in the fleet that I've not yet been aboard. It's also an eastern itinerary which we've not done yet so there's a double win. Y'all are also correct that Steve happens to be headed out of the same sailing, so meeting him and his family is something else I'm looking forward to. Should be quite the adventure.

It's Monday in Canada.

I should be home then; this doesn't look like home.
