Bummer

Brigadier · Oct 10, 2001

Hi Suspects.
Got some bad news Friday[10/5], 40% of my company got laid off, including me. Until I get a computer at home, I won't be here much. Right now I'm at my Dad's using his to post this.

Good thing I e-mailed Derek at EKI and cancelled my order for my Mini-Commander Thursday. I really hated to do it, but I will get one some day.

Until I'm up an running again, I'm gonna miss you all and this forum. Enjoy your Mini- and Super-Commanders.

Eric Blair knows how to get a hold of me via phone and snail mail[I think].

For now, you can e-mail me at my dad's mrinker@attglobal.net

Make sure you state the e-mail is for Matt, tho.

Wave on, Suspects.

My sympathies Brigadier.
What is going on? After the last post to Lighten the Mood we discovered that many were unemployed. This is truly frightening.

Hate to hear it Brigadier, I was hoping the boat was full. (You know, the boat we're all in?)

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that you find something soon.

Unbelievable what this attack has done.

I know retail isn't great, but I worked for Target stores for seven years, and right now was the time of year they started hiring a lot of people for the holiday season. Something to think about.

My thoughts are with you all.
