    Well, nothing lasts forever..

    Just got nformes that corporate headquarters for Assa Abloy, the company that owns Ameristar, has decided to kill off not just the current R&D project, but the entire R&D department!  Wheeeeeeeee, it's a massacre! indecision

    HOWEVER, there is some good new - the uppers in our company wrangled up 4 weeks for "shut down activities", so I'm not out on the street.  And in low burn rate mode, for every week I work I can put enough away to last another week, so in effect I have 8 weeks to find new work.

    My headhunter has two leads already, apparently in Tulsa I'm hot property (lol)!  So, I have no stress, no fear, just a strong sense of dissatisfaction sin e we had the damn thing working out back.. le sigh, this is not the first project some corporate dude killed before we ould ship it.

    I feel sorry for the other folks.. they have big bills, roots in Tulsa, and can't just throw everything they own in 2 duffel bags and move anywhere. sad

    It's not unexpected.  This project has been one of the hardest, most disaster-filled projects in my 38 year career. Eh.  Great learning experience, and everyone in the company told me I'll get a solid gold reference.  I made my customer happy, we did things nobody else has pulled off, so this goes in the WIN column.

    On to the next adventure! laugh

    You are a dear heart. I hope, someday to have coffee with you!!!! Punkin spice latte!!! laugh

    hugz++ at least you didn't turn up to work and find the locks were changed :)

    It lasted longer than you thought it would, didn't it?  Good luck with your next gig.  I thought you wanted to get out of that town, though.

    ...wow.

    However, the way things have been sounding there, I'm not surprised.  Yeah, save up all you can or you'll end up like I did.

    Too bad you are still not in Austin, Alaska Airlines is going to start non stop service between there ane Portland.

    There's a hurricane of hiring in Ausin from Cirrus Logic, I plan on sending off a few resume's tomorrow.  I need to create a short version of my full chronological one.

    I did get my LinkedIn updated, though! yes

  • SerpentSerpent Posts: 4,075

    Thanks to everybody for the support!  It's very appreciated.  And no matter where I end up, I can always post from there (lol)!

    No sign of the project manager and he's usually in early.. hope he's OK, apparently he took the announcement badly. sad

    @TroutFace:  I thought you were just marking time until you could locate another job.  I'm not worried about you because something always turns up for you.  Onward and upward, to Infinity and beyond, my friend..

    Thanks... blush

    The thing that ticks me off is that we had taken a steaming pile of poop and turned it into a functional platform for multiple products, and now a year of my life is down the drain because of some weird corporate bull. indecision Tens of thousands of lines of code, all for nought.  It does look impressive on a resume', though.

    Cirrus Logic is hiring in Austin, gotta send in an application tomorrow! I'd love to move back...

    Talk about karma.. I'm trying to document the entire system, and now  I pay for skipping documenting the code as I wrote it because we were in a big hurry to show results!

    Nothing like going back to look at code you wrote seven months back and figure out what you were doing... lol... NOT! indecision

    Thank Heavens for a double-shot Americano or Yawnulous would have me... Word + Excel = sleep..

    I guess my mind naturally rolls into the gutter, but I decided to check out the shop and see what was on sale, fast grab and whatnot... So I'm looking at the featured sale items and indirectly I see the medium/smallish size promo for "Gurumarra, the Australian Aboriginal"... Only... Well... Am I the only one who didn't immediately see that as a boomerang?... 

     

    Okay, it was just for a second, but still... That would be a really, really painful tattoo... 

    Aaaaaaanyway...

  • McGyverMcGyver Posts: 7,085

    I'm home too... And I have to take my stupid garbage can to the curb too... Stupid lousy non-robotic garbage can... That's a hundred and ten feet and back, that I don't want to walk right now... As I'm very crazy... I mean tired...  At the moment. My legs are killing me... Stupid lousy legs... But if I put it off I'll have to do it later and then my neighbor's cat will be home and he always hears me then and he'll want to have some beers with me and meow about how much money he is going to lose because he was heavily invested in Volkswagen. I feel bad for him because, face it cats are terrible at driving and investing money... Two things they love to do. It's sad really. Well, at least it's just recycling and the can has wheels... Crap... It metal and plastic... Stupid lousy recycling won't take huge chunks of metal... Just cans and bottles... You can't make a good evil robot out of cans and bottles... Not a decent one anyway... That was very conflicted... Good evil robot... Which is it?... Pffft, who cares none of this makes sense.

    They are a "debt reduction" service that have more complaints about service and advertising methods than you can shake a stick at. In other words, keep using your original response and hang up.
