The "I lost my job" karma

edited December 2010 in The Clubhouse
Found out today that my position is being eliminated, thought I'd offer up a karma to try and restore some balance to the universe...

Oh, and my wife's job is closing their doors on November 29, so that's both of us in the course of a couple weeks...

I'm in a wierd mood, so this will be a wierd karma. Up for grabs is a random CD, as in you have no idea what you're going to get. I have all my CDs catalogued and indexed, and I'll use a random number generator to select the disc, whatever number gets picked is the disc you get.

I have a big CD collection of just over 4500, and every genre is represented. I don't have very many rare albums, and the few that I do have I'm going to hang on to, so those will be removed from the drawing - sorry, no dark side of the moon etched on a titanium disc using LSD infusion technology.

Ya got nothing to lose, and may be introduced to something you like that you've never herad before, so let's make this a good karma, lots of participation!

Say IN if you're interested

    Just random enough to pique my interest. Count me in.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    That sucks. Sorry to hear that.

    I'm not in. Keep the CD and sell it if you need to.

    If there's anything I can help with let me know. Dunno what kinda work you did but my company and several of my company's partners have offices in the DFW area. Let me know, if anyone has an applicable position open, I'll get your resume and pass it on.

    Sorry to hear. This keeps happening to too many good people. Hope everything turns around for you soon.

    To help with your Karma (does that mean it is hurting mine?), IN please.

    BTW, LSD infusion technology? Wasn't that also known as blotter?

    If we all get on board --- and hold our mouths just right (no pun intended) then maybe some balance will be restored

    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    Sorry to hear about the jobs situation! But at least you got some notice...if that means anything. In my case, I showed up to work one winter morning 2 years ago to see a locksmith working on the front doors. :eek:
