914World.com _ 914World Garage _ It was a good day and a BAD day...

Posted by: kwales Jun 27 2005, 04:34 PM

All,

Good day because Bob brought in his 914 to work and I went out to look at it (at lunch) for inspiration, and a bad day because I got "Terminated".

Yep, Bob's 914 has air conditioning, rear defroster, Pedrini's, a 2.0 engine, short console, rust, and more. I wandered around, looked at door gaps, headlight gaps, etc, and decided I needed to work on my car. I can do this...

Two hours later, I got nuttin but time.........Boss decided to "terminate" me, no explanations.

Anybody need a really good, creative, mechanical engineer, 40 patents issued or in process, and a Registered Patent Agent (passed the U.S Patent Bar Exam)?

Pass the beer, I'm in mourning.....

Thank God for these two, I need a laugh.....

Ken (on the street again)

Sorry to hear it. I've had the same job 17 years. I still have dreams of getting laid off and having to sell the house.

Sorry too hear that. Sounds like you should have no problem finding something better.

So, like 20 unemployed regulars... here comes a record post count.

Being jobless has it's benefits, I've been doing alot more laying around, thinking about working on my car, whereas I used to think about working on my car, while I worked.

I never knew Flash games had advanced so far.

Some of us can multi task. I for example do this while on hold when making calls to companies that I deal with....and then when THEY answer, I say...please hold.

So between asking if they wanted to "supersize the order" you were tapping on a hand held?

Wow. That sounds...... familiar...... somehow.

Man I am so sorry to read this. I worked there some 10 years ago...... really one of the best places I have ever worked.

Now some 2+ years ago I got fired by *name withheld*. Turns out to be one of the better things to have happened to me - now this is looking back from 2 years later.

I hope things will work out as well for you.

I hope that you have the kind of luck I did. In Feb. I got laid off by the "Evil Empire".

After getting my borg implants removed , I went out and got a better job for more money.
