View Full Version : Laid off early this year
Well, after spending the first two days of this week recuperating from a nasty spill on my mountain bike, I returned to work only to be asked if I minded being laid off full time (last year the company had enough business to keep me employed part time).
Anyone else?
I'm accepting job offers! :D
Not available right away. ;)
Gonna do some hiking!!! :banana

I thought my brother spent enough money at Prov Bike to keep you employed... guess he needs to splurge on one of those $5000 bikes he wants that weighs less than what...a bic pen or something.:D But have fun hiking...lucky....

Some folks make plans and the plans happen. Some folks are in control of their life. Some folks hit a bump in the road and they come un-glued. I've been down roads I never planned for or would have considered. My life has been quite a ride. Lost your job is no thing. Like my ex told me...take a hike.:)
my last day of work is dec. 31. anybody wanna' link up for some long sections outside of VA? open to suggestions!

O Boy! The North-South Trail - again! I did it in April of this year. Not challenging, only a few fine wilderness-like areas. You can camp at two undeveloped campsites - one 13 miles from the southern terminus (took us a little over 1/2 day this spring) and another about 18 miles farther north. Besides that, you can stealth or use a motel on Rte 6. The next section is 23 miles, I believe, then 26. I did it in a little under 4 days. There is a shelter north of the northern terminus (about 1 mile) on the Midstate Trail (haven't hiked that one yet).
Sure! I'm up for some dayhikes! I can bring Chatter for some entertainment (you have to know him to understand :p).

At nearly twice your age, Imight NEED a good Sherpa. :D
Hey! I'm OVER twice your age.:O

Thanks for your concern:). My layoff is probably seasonal. We'll see whether they need (or want) me back in the spring. There are several young folks who are sharper and more knowledgeable than I am who got hired this summer. Time will tell - I have a friend who would love me to work for him (have, part time, before), but I won't be able to get benefits and may have to pay my own taxes - again, time will tell.
