Danzilla Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 There, but for the grace of God, go I. Very sorry to hear that. Praying that some new opportunity comes your way very soon.

Richard W Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Wow, that's really a bummer and I hope you find something new pronto. On the upside, a little more time to play bass? I assume from your location that you're in Philly? Me too. Where'd you work? "Everyone wants to change the world, but no one thinks of changing themselves."

picker Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Kansas City is the locale, actually about 10 miles from the corner of 12th street and Vine. May have a line from a guy at church on a job with the VFW. Might have a paying gig this weekend. Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else.

Wally Malone Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Sorry Picker, a door needs to close before another will open. Keep your eyes peeled for that door that will open.

Richard W Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 LOL. Philly has an intersection of 12th and Vine as well. Wherever you are, keep your head up.

butcherNburn Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Sorry to here it. I've been out of work since mid-June. It's tough out there. The funny thing is when people hear that you're unemployed they say "don't worry, you'll find another job". As opposed to what retiring 25 years ahead of schedule.

MoodyBluesKeys Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Praying for you - hoping that you will wind up feeling like I did well after I was laid off - a couple of years later (with a new position in a different field) I went back and thanked the manager for helping me get into something I really enjoyed.

b5pilot Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Aw geeze that really sucks, Big Time! Here's hoping you find something soon or get called back, and lots of gigs until then. Lydian mode?

DanYmaL X Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Tough break, picker.. I've put you on my p-list... +1 on Wally's post though. Keep your eyes peeled for the opportunity that's heading your way. I went through it about 6 or 7 years ago, went through a short time of depression, pulled my butt out of it and now I'm in a place I love, doing work that I love, and making about 4x what I was making then.
