A BUMP in the road
« on: July 02, 2013, 12:40:40 PM »
Well went to work today hoping to get into it as know things are getting tough out there, but was quickly grabbed and issued a envelop (very small redundancy) and shown the door.

What does this mean - got bills to pay so will start selling some mods and pins as need to keep the roof over our heads and look after 2 kids and a wife.

So look out for a few mods and a Baywatch and quite possibly my beloved Iron Man, my surf champ is in storage so not worth much and the creech could go but needs a bit of work but I do have nearly all the replacement parts (decals, ramps etc all ready for it).

Not a good feeling, jobless and bills to pay  ^.^

thanks guys and to add my 5 month old has just been diagnosed with a superbug (similar to golden staph) which is immune to many antibiotics so he is struggling but the good side is I can spend a little more time with him

The sun goes down, the sun comes up. Surf is lousy one day, perfect the next.
Hang in there champ and take care, especially your little one. For every negative or setback in life there is always a positive.

Maybe your avatar is a message?

Get out and enjoy a wave or two, and the sun will rise on a better day tommorow

Hope your luck turns soon. Never good to hear something like this specially for someone with a young family. Hang in there.

What line of work are you in?
