Mileage game

Good luck with the healing process and I hope you have even better luck landing a new gig. In the meantime, getting out on the bike as often as possible will help keep your mind sharp, so maybe you're not out of the running just yet.

Randy, it's always easy for others to philosophise on your behalf. You know, "one door closes and another opens" etc. But the feelings behind this are genuine and I join everyone who has posted to your thread in wishing you all the best for the future. Keep fighting mate and you will soon be back in the "Mileage Game".

Cheers

Really gutted and shocked to hear your latest dose of bad news.

I was 'let go' many years ago....and you probably expect me to say that it was the best thing that ever happened to me, that I never looked back, and all that.....

Well it wasn't.

It sucked.

In the years that followed, I have been threatened with redundancy two or three times.

That sucked too.

But, I'm still here and still posting.

.........yeah, I know, that REALLY sucks, ......sorry


Look forward to hearing some good news from you

I am at the point in my life where I'm too old for an entry level type job and I don't have a degree so now what? EVERYONE wants a degree no matter how much experience you have which makes no sense to me.
I don't know.....I will sort it out, but right now I'm just in that sucky place.....ugh.

And this too shall pass. Never give up. I'm confident you will land on your feet. Take care and here's to every good wish for the future.

Well said. I agree. Stay strong.

Randy, sorry to learn of your latest bad news. Hope things turn around for you soon.

Thanks for all of the kind words and well wishes. I have to get done healing and then I can look for a new job, until then I think it's a pointless effort. Ugh.

Sorry to hear about the job, Randy. I'm on the internet all the time so let me know if there's anything particular I can look for in your area.

Hang in there. Degrees are not what they are cracked up to be unless you are a doctor, lawyer, school teacher or engineer that requires you to have one. FWIW, I have a BS degree and its not worth the paper its written on and was not worth the time, money or effort. Real world experience is what counts especially to the small businessman. BIg corps are different I know. I dont know what line of work you were in but maybe start checking with some small businesses. I have never worked at a big company and there are goods and bads both ways.

Common sense, a good work ethic, and desire to succeed trump a degree everytime in my book. I know this will work out for you in time. I have been in that position and know its tough.
