    FREEDOM - tomorrow is my last day at this hell hole job

    I have been working as a Project Manager for a commercial construction company since 2005, work has been steadily treading down hill to the point that we can't make payroll rather often.

    I've seen this coming for a good long while and have tried to position myself as best as possible,

    So as of tomorrow I am permanently layed off, except for an occasional day here and there to help with some upcoming projects


    I can't tell you how flippin relieved I am. It's been a couple months knowing that the hammer was going to fall but not when.

    As of Monday 5-23-2011 I am a Full Time knifemaker.


    pray for me as I descend into madness

    Best of luck!

    Sometimes it takes one door to shut...for us to realize there is anouther door WIDE open!
    Mean what you say...say what you mean...and always...ALWAYS....keep your hand on your knife just in case.
