Well, both Craig and Jeremy (my supervisors) are pretty good at IT stuff when they need to be, they just prefer not to have to deal with it. Their loss.

I'm sorry the job ended that way, but you've got a good point: unemployment sounds pretty good. Yeah, this company sounds like they've lost half a brain...or maybe all of it. Glad you're my pal, and in October, if you wanna hang out...I'd like it! (I'm scheduled basically each day in Sept unless they call and say they don't need me.) HUGS!

Sounds like this company was making some strange moves.
I hope it works out better for you!

I'm sorry to hear that you have an upgrade opportunity that wasn't of your choosing - but like you said, maybe you'll next job will be near them and you can see 'em all for lunch!

I'm just sorry you didn't leave on your terms when you had the inkling. But you're on the right path. Take your government money and go find a job elsewhere.
