Default If nothing else, my sex life improved.

And "why is that?" you may ask. Well, its because my company decided to screw me by laying me off yesterday. So here I am, 60 years old, and looking for work...again. I was there for over 5 years and they decided that I wasn't worth having around anymore. The company was bought out 2 years ago this past July and the handwriting on the wall began. They've laid off or fired several people since then and are slowly but surely moving all the operations to Illinois but they're not giving anyone the option of transferring there.

I've got an appointment with the VA rep at the MA Dept of Education & Training next week, so the search begins anew. I think I'm looking at a VERY early retirement.

I am sorry to hear that. While profits continue to skyrocket at most companies the layoffs seem to be rising regardless

God bless you, brother. These people look at loyalty as a handicap or at least something to use to their advantage.

Default LT,...

Hang tough, keep pluggin & enjoy the sex.
Knowledge & experience are still very important in the Private Sector Workforce.

Besides, we both must believe you're gonna do just fine.
Hell,...maybe even better & likely much more appreciated?

Still,...Good Luck to You & Yours.

Neil
