Tragedy strikes

Howdy to all my axslinger pals. I have sorry news to pass on. I've resigned my position after 5 years...what this means is that I'm suddenly unemployed, homeless, and using public internet access to read the GNX forum. Ugh.
How am I EVER going to get Drea de Matteo to go out with me now?!? :?
Anyway...besides that, the real tragedy is that it's entirely possible that my guitar and recording gear may have to go into temporary storage, which not only means I won't be able to play, but I won't be able to dazzle you all with my incredible compositions. :roll:
So I might be living vicariously through you guys for a while.
Drew Barrymore is trailer trash...do you think she'd sleep with me under my bridge? I have an AWEsome refirgerator box!!! 8)

  • what happed shred ?
    did the bosses wife give you a hard time again?
    unemployment sucks dude but homelessness is worse---hope it isn't for long.
    take care :)
  • Hang in there buddy...
    Every time I've made a career move, it turned out better than where I was before...
  • Hi guys - thanks for the kind words.
    Yes, WOG - that's exactly what happened...the Mrs. has just let her dog off the leash, and her husband - who is relatively indifferent to anything but keeping his high-maintenance wife happy - isn't keeping her at bay. So they're \"forcing me out\", in order to avoid paying me severance. Can you beleive it - a guy worth over $100 million bux?!? :shock:
    Soo...I'm going to make do in the meantime. Try to pick up some temp employment while I look for a new position, and probably find a place to live temp'y until things wash out.
    I'm hopeful it'll come together...I'm sure I'll manage to land on my feet, somehow. But in the meantime, things are looking pretty bleak. :(
    And no guitar. How will I last??? Perhaps if Drea was here, giving me a backrub, I could deal. :x
  • Dude :shock: that sucks. In all aspects of life,things happen for a reason.Maybe now you'll have time to run into your RUSH lov'in Hottie. Take care, and be back soon.
    P.G.

    Thanx Shadow...I'm gonna try to be around some, but it'll surely be less consistently. Once I've moved out of their house and off their property, I don't know exactly where I'll be hangin'...but (sadly), it'll be easier to keep my laptop around and pick up i/net access here n there than it will be to keep my guitar gear handy. Ugh.
    I'm hopeful that this monstrous - and unexpected - upheaval in my situation will eventually result in better things to come. Better job, better place, and maybe an adoring hottie for me??? 8) That'd be kewl...
  • I'll be prayin for ya

    take care bud

  • I got sick of working for other people a number of years ago....work for myself now and haven’t looked back since. Remember crisis always brings opportunity although its always hard to see when you are the one in crisis.
  • Shredd,
    I'm sorry to hear all that. I will be praying for you as well!! I'm sure all things will work out. I know in my own life they seem to God Bless you!! & gide you & provide for you!!

  • Good luck Shredd... I hope you find your way out of this situation quickly.,...
  • Shredd man,
    Unfortunately, it seems that now days, everyone has to go through this at least once in their career. It happened to me in '03. I was content with my job and had every intention on staying there long term. One day out of the blue, they let 400 out of 5000 people go - that's a big layoff. I was devistated. But in short order, I discovered that I was worth a LOT more than they were paying me, and it turned out to be a blessing. Keep your chin up my friend. You're a sharp individual and this will all come to pass. Glad you'll have your laptop. Any time you need encouragement, or just someone to listen, we're here for you!

  • Wow :shock:
    Sorry to hear the bad news Shredd hope
    you land on your feet and find something
    better.
    And also good luck finding your Rush lov'in Hottie.
  • Guys - thanks one n all. I really appreciate the words of encouragement. I really wanna beleive that I'll land on my feet and things will turn out even better than they were, which'll be tough, 'cuz my latest job was a dam good one. But who knows what's around the corner...maybe something great(er). And who knows, now that I'm living in my truck and working at Wendy's, perhaps Elisha Cuthbert will take pity on me and hire me to be her personal lingere sorter. :twisted:
