Still wondering...
if I have a job. They announced last year the group I was working in would no longer exist. Depending on what you were working on at the time some people were transferred immediately and some would continue doing the current job through the end of the year.
Since I was training people in India, basically training my replacements, I continued doing the same job. Well the new year is here, my boss or former boss has been pretty much AWOL for the last 2 months. He's in NC, I'm in MI and I haven't heard anything from for months. If I work for someone else in a different group no one is saying anything. Guess I'll continue pretending I'm working and have stuff to do, which I don't. We'll I do have an online class tomorrow through Friday. No one has said I'm no longer welcome so I'll do that. I hate this feeling of not knowing. If I'm going to get laid off then let me know. Don't want to get laid off but I'd rather know for sure than to keep wondering about it. |

That is no fun living on the edge that way. Every day is a challenge for me being in the sales end. Are you "working" by yourself?

As you know, I am self employed, but even for me, things are very slow right now after the holidays. Fortunately I dont rely on a paycheck, but if I did I would be out of business by now.
I actually am in the research and planning stages of a new business for me, I am considering opening an indoor firing range and gun shop here. Our closest public indoor range is about 70 miles away from me. As I watch the economy get worse, I see more and more guns being bought, but with no where to shoot them in the winters. We have lots of outdoor ranges, but nothing indoors. I also start school again next week for an extension of my electrical profession. I am going back to get an electro-mechanical degree. I want to learn the ins and outs of program ladder logic and programming PLC's and instrumentation and such. I will either use it to expand on what my business can do or just say to hell with the stress of my own business and go do it for somebody else. There is good money in that sort of stuff. Good luck Hank, I hope you know soon whats going to happen Jeff

I guess I'm lucky. We're so busy, I barely have time to think.

I wish you the best Hank. I was laid off for 6 months, from December to June last year. It's tough out there.

My thought was to do an indoor pistol range, and have a few lanes dedicated to archery and have the other lanes convertible to archery for late summer and leagues as well. I would do pistol leagues year round as well. Then do gun and supply sales to supplement and it could be successful. Jeff

Not knowing is worst part. My kids are grown, don't owe much on the house, and one car payment. If/when I get laid off I get 26 weeks severance pay plus I think I have 3 weeks earned vacation I would get paid for.
It would put a serious dent in our lifestyle but we'd get by. It's sitting on the fence waiting to see which way the wind is going to blow that's killing me. |

Not sure what you mean. I work from home, sometimes on a small project by myself, sometimes on bigger projects with other people.
