Morning all.
It is morning, isn't it?
Is it time to go home yet?

They say it's five o'clock somewhere. If that's the case, I'm late and need to leave now!

Come on five o'clock!
Or three... that's when I'm off.

Although I'm already a little off.

Or a lot.

 

[AirGoofy]

My eyes are burning a bit from just thinking about that...
I think we can forgo the pictures rule in this instance.

Don't worry. It was a Tuesday night. There wasn't enough alcohol for that.

Come on five o'clock!
Or three... that's when I'm off.

Remember, when you're a pirate, you never have to wait until 5:00.

Arrrggggghhhh you sure?

Man, you're not kidding. This has felt like the longest week ever for some reason.

You're right. I know why it's felt so long for me...I was told last week I'm being let go (RIF). Unlike most of the other folks, I'm staying an additional 2 weeks for knowledge transfer. This just a month shy of my 3 year anniversary so I'll only get 2 weeks severance instead of 3. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas! Bend over please!

That stinks. Sorry to hear it. Will unemployment cover much?

Dude. That sucks. I'm very sorry to hear that. Is there anywhere you can go for a soft landing?

 

[pkondz]

Morning all.
Just a few more days to go until a couple of glorious days off.
And today was the first time in two weeks that I didn't wake up in pain, so bonus there too.

Oh man, that really sucks. Sorry to hear that.

Unemployment is a drop in the bucket, but yeah, it will help a little. Rather than re-type everything...see quote below from my PTR...

As I mentioned in the PTR thread (see below), I won't be in the poor house and I've got a few other options in the works. So, although I might not have a golden parachute like CEOs give themselves, I should at least have an aluminum or tin parachute.

Rather than re-type everything, take a look here...

I probably should add this to the PTR post. I've spent the last 6 months cutting bills, minimizing expenses and putting more into savings. I've run the numbers and if I were to sell the house, sell other things of value, we should have more than enough money to either retire or at least semi-retire. It wouldn't leave as much expendable income for Disney, but might be a good option. I've also been considering ministry options (back to the helping people comment)

Edit: Minimizing expenses...that's why we cancelled the Sep trip. Still planning on going in February now although might not be as extravagant as originally planned.

Sorry to hear that Man, that really bites.

 

[docsoliday1]

Although there may be others, thanks Norm, Mark, Pkondz and Darcy for the commiseration. Appreciate the comments/concerns/etc.

I have mixed emotions about it. As @pkondz alluded to in the other thread, it might actually be a silver lining.

Very sorry to hear this. Hope you find a better path soon.

Sorry mate, that's rubbish. All the best and hope it works out.

 

[londontime]

Right. That's it. I'm calling it. Work week over. Everyone out. Last one in Trader Sam's for a cheeky round of Spiky Pineapples (with extra spike) has to take Ariel home. But let me tell ya, she got crabs. And yet, it's still better down where it's wetter. Take it from me.

Well, that's not quite the entertaining conversation starter I was hopping for this morning...
Very sorry to hear that you're having to deal with this now.
I do see where you've made good decisions over time and have several viable options for moving forward.
May you find the best path for yourself and your family and may these new directions fulfill you.

Okay, I'll throw something else out there.

What do y'all think of those Astros? and Happy Friday. 007 has already called it, so go home. Of course, given Ariel is the prize for being last, y'all go ahead before me.

Now there’s a man who’s partial to a bit of fish on Friday.

I'm holding out for Jasmine.
