If they'd have told me to jump 90' in that little net to be hired Paul I'd have gone back into the Navy LOL

Anytime you choose family over a job you've made the right choice IMHO, good for you!

Well the fish and turkey was a hit Shane. Co workers gobbled it up quick.

Sure did, my trade is network engineering but my passion is athletic development. Took a leap a little over a decade ago and went all to the athletic development side of things. Got on as an assistant strength and conditioning job at a pro hockey team (team name rhymes with Reafs) and had my own gym where I trained pro baseball, hockey and MMA athletes. Loved it more than anything. it was great but no long term stability really and the hours didn't work well with the new family I was starting. Had to man up and do what was best at the time and go back to computer engineering and leave the passion behind. I still feel I made the right choice and I love my job and my family but I will always miss that part of my life.

I've always been able to keep working, but I have lost a few good career jobs. Closure of the Asbestos works when I was young. Another was Permaflector lighting, assembling specialty industrial lighting, got gobbled up by a big U.S. firm and closed. Bankruptcy of OFG Inc in 2007. I always managed to bounce back and find a new path for myself.

Thanks for that info musky, I was wondering how far north their range extended.

PERFECT Shane I did good.

Funny this comes up as I am looking for an Employment Lawyer right now due to my situation. I was working at Lindsay Kia and it was recently sold and they let me go the end of the day right before the new owners took over. No letter and no final compensation paid out.

I was forced to quit a job I really loved. Teaching at Georgian College. I was a part time instructor, and did contact work a few other companies while not teaching. It was great. Tons of flexibility. Great working environment. BUT... The bank would not give me a mortgage being a contractor. So I had to quit and get a full time job. My intention was to return to teaching in a few years once my mortgage had settled out. But while I was on a hiatus from teaching, the union went on strike and they changed around the entire part time teaching situation. And now there is no way in hell I will be able to return to teaching because they are basing it all on seniority not, that I don't have.
