Sorry to hear. Hope a new door opens soon! :cheers:

Thanks - I hope so too. I had a d-bag of a boss (one of em anyway) who acted intimidated with me from the start. I'd been doing this longer than him, and I think he ultimately knew I was more skilled in construction than he was. I'm pretty f'n ****ed because the reasons behind letting me go are BS, but I'm hoping it's just a bigger, better door opening for me.

Damn Jodi, it really sucks to hear this after everything that led up to your getting this job.

I'm a believer that good things come to good people - and you're good people. Better things will come your way.
