So the George looking back at me is not somebody that I have wanted to deal with too much recently. Comes down to one thing: Calpine.
Things have been going far from stellar of late and maybe I should have expected this back in Dec with the Chapter 11 filing. Paul is gone. Sean is gone. Randy is gone. Bear Sterns is gone. The credit is gone. Near term commercial viability, yeah that’s gone too. Time to face facts that unless a rabbit comes out of somebody’s ass (and soon) I am done. Time to face fact that my career goes nowhere unless something changes. If nothing else at least I have some hope that I am not gonna be out on the street in the near term. I hope. But that is never guaranteed. So many promises. Maybe I would have been better off if I had just fallen on the sword for the round one layoffs.
Face the fact: I am on my way out. Time to go. Make the move. Change. Seems like that is all my adult life has been about. Change. I know I am a survivor, I am just tired of proving it again and again. I have no idea what is next. Maybe I will get an audience with the Dali Lama or maybe hike the Grand Canyon. I gotta do something to figure this out.
“How long do I have to climb,
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?”

Sounds like you could use an audience with the Dala Lama in the Grand Canyon.
Luckily, I have never been laid off, but there have been a number of close calls. I can't say I know what it's like to actually have it happen.
But I do know you're a smart guy and will figure something out. Maybe it's time to try something new on your terms.
I'd wish you luck, but I really don't think you need it.
The one time I got laid off from a place I actually laughed on my way out. My then ex-boss says to me "I wouldn't do that on your way out, others aren't happy about losing thier job."
Granted he had something there but I took the layoff as a new beginning and it actually ended up being one of the best things to ever happen to me.
Best of luck in wherever you end up bud. You know, you could always move back home to Alabama.
I agree with Bones. Come back to the Dirty Dirty with us. ;)
Best of luck in whatever happens.
New beginnings....that's not always a bad thing.
You can do anything....just gotta choose whatcha wanna do.
Best of luck in whatever you decide to do Booster.
