Normally I don't post about my problems on the forums, because I don't really know any of you, and you don't really know me, so what difference would it make. But, I'm going through a hard time now, so I'd thought I'd just talk about it anyway.
Today during lunch I was called in to talk to my boss. He really likes me, as I've worked at this company for the past 3 years, working my way up from the sheet metal floor to the AC designers office. I wasn't worried going in, I just thought he wanted to go play golf or something this weekend. However, I couldn't have been farther from the truth. He sat me down with a frown on his face and said "Brad, this is hard for me to say. You've been a great asset to this company, and you've been with us for a while now, but with the recent dip in local construction we have to let some designers. Friday will be your last day." Wonderful! (sarcasm). I guess it's for the best. I was getting tired of my job, and engineering probably isn't for me. I've always loved teaching the interns how to do stuff, so I guess my real passion is teaching. So I've decided to go to college, get my PhD, and do something with teaching. I'm looking into Purdue right now, as that's where my girlfriend is going.
To make matters worse, right after I get out of the meeting with my boss I find out my father has been knocked off his motorcycle and run over by a car, and is in critical condition at Baptist Hospital. I just lost my grandfather last week, I'm not going to lose my dad as well. I'm headed down to the hospital as soon as my boss let's me leave (He's being a real dick right now).
Another thing that makes me sad, though it isn't as big a deal as the rest, is now that I don't have a job, I don't think I can afford my Supra anymore. I'll be selling it in the next couple of weeks. So if anyone wants a 97 Supra TT with 55,000 mile and some mods done to it, contact me. Today is probably the worst day of my life. I just thought I'd share.
