Jersey's "Me Too" Journal

[JerseyDevil]

Soooo... hook me up in Michigan (that is so hard to say)... A Buckeye fan in Michigan.... ?

Funny..........about the Michigan / Ohio thing.

I'll send you a PM about the job search. [/QUOTE]
Thanks for the PM buddy. I was kidding about moving to Michigan... In the right sit though, I would consider it.

Sorry to hear this, good luck with the job hunting, hopefully be some good news around the corner

Dave, you are awesome... I do still stay positive, but at times I get down. Your support means a lot to me... thanks!

damn jd, that sucks.. but honestly if its a stress relief and you didnt like it, youre better off anyway. youll find something, your a smart guy

It is a stress relief for sure Jake, thanks.

On the otherhand I have had a really rough year, and this makes me wonder what the hell did I do to deserve it? The ex would love it, and that REALLY pisses me off more than anything.

Badges??? We don't need no stickin' badges!!

LMAO

Did you say "hot date" ??? Well...well..well

Let's hear about it ............................

Umm I second that ... DETAILS !!

It would be x-rated, lol

AND? ?? ???

I just joined the masses...

Completely blindsided.... at noon today I was informed my position was 'eliminated', and I was out the door in 5 minutes. Just last Monday I had to go thru 227 emails, and almost all required action on my part, so this is obviously bullshit. My co-workers were stunned as well.

Oh well. Fuck'em. It will be tough finding a good job in this economy, but believe it or not, I am actually somewhat relieved. The management was daddy's little boy, and I mean little. A buck forty, and 5' 4", yet always the tough guy, penis envy for sure.

I have worked a lot of jobs and had a lot of titles. I am proud of that. This company, while successful, is the most poorly managed company I ever worked for. They can kiss my fucking ass.

In the end it will be better off and you will find something much better for you. I have also had my share of working for poorly managed companies .. hence why I work for myself now

CHIN UP BUTTERCUP !!

One thing great about being unemployed is that you can now hit the gym. I have been at the gym everyday since I was shit canned, a good mix of weight, cardio, or both.

After only a week I feel my 54 year old body responding... Probably more due to looking at Jenny's pics! LOL

In case no one has noticed I am back to body part training, and higher volume. I like full body workouts, and once I find a friggin' job, I will probably return. But since I have the time, I am luvin' the BP training and plenty of cardio.
