DB very, very sorry to hear you lost your job. that is serious and i hope that you find other work ASAP

don't just blame that guy though, whomever hired him and let him do things that way...it sounds like he is the hatchet man. all i'm saying is he was hired to do that job so look beyond him and point the fingers there too because they hired that guy to be the a-hole, typical owner doesn't want his hands dirty

hang tough, that's a tough business and you didn't do anything wrong so you are a victim like so many....you'll find something just stay determined

[Dr. Jack]

DB - Hang in there. I am a big believr in making positives from a negative. Hopefully it will work out

[dollarbills]

[dollarbills]

That's the attitude, DB. Sorry to hear about your job, buddy. Hope something comes around for you soon.

[Wreck_IT]

DB one thing to keep in mind is that it is a tramatic event when it happens, however, you are are not alone in having this situation. It happens to many people and the key is to make the best of this opportunity. I had a similar situation happen a while back and now looking back it was the best thing that could have happened. Keep the mindset that this is actually an opportunity rather than a setback. keep your head up man

[hungjury]

Sorry DB but this will turn into something better. It almost always does. You seem like a good dude, too. That always helps! Just stay positive. Have a great Thanksgiving with your family

[Steel]

DB, hope all works out for you and I also hope you have a happy T-day.
