for you on the job front. I hope that you are able to take care of whatever happens on your own terms. I would be happy to "like" your page to help you out. I am not friends with you on FB, but if you send me a PM with a link to your page, or just send me a friend request. My last name is the same as a prominent basketball player for the Chicago Bulls in the 90's...
Good luck with everything! You're a smart guy! But there are lots of talented people out there in trouble, so I hope you're able to somehow keep the job going. Best of luck!
Oh dear that doesn't sound good.Sending out lots of good thoughts & pixie dust for your job situation. I hope everything works out for the best.
Thanks for those beautiful pictures too! Can never get enough of those.
Stopher, I am sad to hear about your job situation. I'm not a facebook person, but I hope others here will help.
If you get your TA going and need any help in the cruising department, text me! You would make a great Disney TA!
Stopher~sendingand thoughts and prayers your way! Hope everything works out!!! I would also love to be a Disney Specialist TA
Thank you all. It was kind of a surreal day today. At this point there is nothing happening, as my wife and I were talking about, but the reality is the office lease now has less than a year to run. That was one part of the reasons that our Atlanta office was shuttered when it was - the company negotiated the early buyout which they felt was better for the bottom line. I have no idea when or if something will happen, but the stars seem to be aligning... the the end credits are being typed to roll... the popcorn vendor's bin is nearly empty... the fat lady is holding her music... and on and on it seems. The local VP and I had lunch yesterday and he was specifically asking me what kind of things I might consider doing if it does happen - not really your typical lunch conversation, is it?!? I don't think so. So we're praying and waiting - and yes, researching options, and even starting to send out resumes. I figure I'm going to be as ready as possible, and then hey - if something better comes along while I'm in the "watch & wait" phase... I've got my out lined up. But I have friends who've been waiting a long time, and others who got something new within weeks of being let go - this economy is just so strange the past few years.
I've given them 10 1/2 years, nearly 3 years longer than my previous employer who laid me off with about 100 others back in 1999... December 1st no less, of course. At this point, I'm planning on an end of year or sooner departure on their terms - or sooner if I can do it on my terms. But I'm not holding my breath for anything at this time. (Certainly time will tell on how this all plays out)
Thanks to those of you who weren't already friends with me on FB for linking together and liking my page. It's still very much a work in progress, but I'm trying hard. It also helps that
scared1: the latest FD offer was officially set in motion yesterday... not the favorite of us DVC folk, of course, but it does drive business. Since posting a bunch on my FB page and sending out targeted emails today, I've received several inquiries, so yay, I have some quoting to do and hopefully some trips to book). New ABD adventures for 2012 will be coming out at the end of the month too, so hopefully that can drum up a litle interest as well. Fun, fun, fun. 
(And I thought I was busy before...) 
Keep your fingers crossed the temps will decrease a few degrees. It will take a bit of pixie dust for that to happen but hey, it is Disney, anything can happen.
Love the way you heated up your lunch in the dishwasher! Great idea! LOL
I was thinking the same thing Muushka!!
