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.

Dayum that sucks.

But getting away from a DB boss is always worth something.

Hope you have better luck in the next job. Best wishes in the hunt.

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.

You are now a statistic in Obama's recovery plan.
Sorry to hear you got laid off. Hope unemployment is available to tide you over. Hang in there.
