Can We Still Go O/T Here? [this has a happy ending]
Mr ChriZ:
Obama 1.0 does look good, just have to hope that the full thing lives up to be as good as the trial period. ;-)
Looking on the plus side C8 sounds like new beginning to me. Maybe it will be good for the change. 20 years is a long time.
:)

Um, ChriZ, don't you have an MC skin to work on? Hmmm?
Charlemagne--
FWIW, I've been fired from almost every job I've ever had. And the few where I left of my own volition I left such a lasting resevoir of ill will behind me that I almost wished I'd been fired, just so they'd soften up a bit towards me, out of pity.
But no matter how many times the axe comes down on me, I can't help but feel gratified. You see, when a guy like me gets canned, that's a sure sign that the system works.
I'm a Darwinian at heart, and an evolutionary outlier. Or at least that's the conclusion I've drawn from years of hard knocks at the hands of Society at large. Otherwise, how could I pick myself up from the pavement so many times?
Failing once or twice in life is a natural side-effect of striving for something worthwhile. But failing continually, consistently, like I have? That's a natural side-effect of a major disconnect.
So there. I go through life certain that I've go some secret, glorious purpose that the world hasn't figured out yet. As a matter of fact, I haven't either. But the old Diaphragm keep inflating and deflating, and the heart beats on. And as long as I've got breath in my lungs, I'm going to make excuses for my conduct.
Hope this helps.

Might have a slight relationship to things like this?

;) ;D
Just kidding of course.
I'm very saddened/gladdened (is gladdened even a word) to hear your news, Charlemagne. I'd actually agree with Chris here.... Never good to suddenly lose such a huge piece of your live and livelihood, but... If it had to happen, probably could be a bit of a blessing in disguise. Take the time to spend with your new grandson. You never get another chance for that, for sure. And take the job loss as an opportunity, if you can.
Sounds like you were at least planning fairly well financially. So, it could be a whole lot worse.

Whenever I think of Charlemagne 8, I think of this old thread about wrens.
Charlemagne 8:
Wow!!!
Scronch, Zevele, Harry...
That's a real blast from the past.
Thanks.
