1937hd45 Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 John, When one door closes another opens, just don't try that maneuver while afloat in an Amphicar. Best wishes, Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6219_Rules Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Sorry to hear it finally happened, John. I will be in touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave@Moon Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Sorry to hear about it, John. Hang in there. Does your public library have internet access? If so you could get a temporary address at one of the free email sites available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R W Burgess Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Sorry to hear about your job loss, John. What not just use the Private message system in the AACA web site for your mail. I'm sure you never use any other site anyway. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48LCCOUPE Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Sorry John, happy holiday present huh? It just doesn't make sense, kinda like driving a car on a lake or a boat down the highway.Hang in there, I am sure that door mentioned earlier will open. and I hope the light at the end of the tunnel isn't an oncoming train. This too will pass. (my mom's favorite) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Indiana_Truck Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 John,I hope this is a temp. thing and that you will be called back but if not you have a lot of people here to talk to and who will have you in mind over this holiday. Hang in there and maybe you can find something you enjoy doing AND make money at the same time. My Dad always said to make money in everything you do and you will always be OK. When you hit bottom the only place you can go is up. I bought a house once and lost my job 4 months later, best thing that ever happened to me! I was free to get on with my life and found a much better way to do it that I wouldn't have done before. 9 years later and I now own 5 rentals and my own place (not the one I bought before as it is now one of the rentals). Just don't take anything where you have to ask "Do you want fries with that?" Keep us informed how things are going.Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter J.Heizmann Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 John...Likewise to previous folks posting, John. This is not good news, bud.In a case like this, immediately pick up the sticks...get over the natural human reaction to get depressed. Again, as others posted, it probably is a blessing in disquise as it appeared to be inevitable, just a matter of time.One thing I "sincerely" can tell you, this forum has generated a "sister-hood/brother-hood" and simply, lean on us in hard times.There are many knowledgeable and creative folks at your disposal...Keep in touch with all of us...Peter J.

Guest Skyking Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 John,I'm a firm believer of things happening for the best. Hang in there, something good will come out of this.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amphicar BUYER Posted November 26, 2003 Author Share Posted November 26, 2003 MANY THANKS for the good words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I now have my net access at home working. This is my fifth time getting laid off over the years so I am at a point that I don't really upset any more. Somehow I will land on my feet and with the support of family and the friends here, I have no doubts.There is some poetic justice, my entire department got wiped out except for the manager ... ummm former Manager! He now has my job and I am certain he will choke as bad as he did as a <ahem> "manager" He was clueless about what I did. Now he will get a quick lesson in humility. On the brighter side, the Amphicar that just arrived from Florida will have lots more of my attention and get completed sooner. I have one more lined up for a full resto in January. So I will be OK for a little while longer until the next door opens (hopefully by a beautiful lady!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Green Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 John,Glad to see you at least have some Amphicar's to work on and can hopefully make some money to carry you over until you find another job. Maybe even make enough to do it full time, then the only boss you have to answer to is you.I need to get your new email address in case I have more questions on Amphicars. Got my rear axles out (bigger hammer) and am ready to start stripping the underside, what a crappy job. Give me your new email address if you would by a private message on this form. Have a nice turkey day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
