I am really sorry to hear you got laid off....Steve,<br />I am really sorry to hear you got laid off. Been there recently, and it aint no fun. I hope that your silver lining turns golden, and that this opens a new & better door for you. (Terribly mixed metaphor, I know. Resembles my cooking.)<br /><br />If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. I really enjoyed the class this fall, and am glad you are continuing the class this winter.<br /><br />Best,<br />LanceUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12443253445730413217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554186870925500720.post-44619528140332980952010-12-09T19:39:35.126-05:002010-12-09T19:39:35.126-05:00Sorry to hear you got dumped.

Got to do a ton of woodworking and improved my skill level there a couple of notches. Finally took a job working for the government making about a 1/3 of what I did before. I am home more now and that means more time in the shop. I sincerely wish you the best in getting another job. Just don't get discouraged if you don't get a job immediately.<br />the accidental woodworkerRalph Boumenothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10606484453109932074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554186870925500720.post-74932412956630267392010-12-08T19:52:28.585-05:002010-12-08T19:52:28.585-05:00Thanks, Shannon, I remember reading that.

The time off was great to get caught up on some things and re-prioritize my life a bit. I can only hope that the same applies for you. I'm a firm believer that good people can find work regardless of the economy. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing the climbing pics, that takes me back to my own vicarious ice axe and chalk bag days.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13600933142738840105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554186870925500720.post-64019984921958848722010-12-08T10:16:46.325-05:002010-12-08T10:16:46.325-05:00Thank you so much for your kind words, Carl.

I wish you luck in finding a new job that you really like.<br />You may remember helping me over a writer's hump a few weeks back. At a time when I was down you were an inspiration for me to continue with blogging instead of quiting. I've sorted myself and started getting my mind back in the game. You will see new original postings from me in the future.<br />Perhaps I can return the favor one day. It sounds like you are okay at the moment so try not to become disheartened while you go through this period of your life. Don't give up your woodworking, you have some great stuff to share with others. I'm loving your T-track clamping system.<br />- CarlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
