Morning Jak, Things are going good. All positives (I think) small positives but positives none the less. My wife and I are "communicating" better. Like I have said so many times before I think we are almost there. I did let her know yesterday that an observation and "My Feelings" are that she spends allot of time helping out her friends and our daughters with their problems and I understand her need to want to help other people I have this same problem. But I wish she would spend more time on our issues. I thought she would shut down on me again but she didn't. Now we have not discussed this yet I just let her know my feelings about it. She is having issues with her mom right now and she does not handle the heat.(temp that is) very well and it has been in the low 90’s here so I let it slide yesterday. As for my job? My Co workers had a going away luncheon for me yesterday here at work and I have an interview today at 10:30 in another department. This is probably the best interview I have ever had because I would not mind staying (28 years of service) and not having to look for another job. (not going to be easy for a 51yo guy with one leg) but then again I am looking forward to spending some time fishing, going to Alcatraz, The Zoo, The Great America theme park with my son AND WIFE this summer. I mean I will be eligible for year and a half unemployment and I am getting a pretty good severance package so I will not have to be looking for a job right away. I am also thinking about going back to school for two reasons. One is to improve my portfolio and two to wait out this job slump here in California. The City governments are now starting to lay people off so it is only getting worst. And Last but not least my side business of selling Firewood is taking off like a Firestorm.. Pun intended...of course it’s like having a Christmas tree farm. You work all year just to sell trees for a month. No money is coming in right now but I am getting allot of inventory. AND my son is taking interest in it. Yea it's because he wants money to buy a play station 3 but still I am passing on my work ethics to him. (Heck if it was not for the money would any of us really be working?) Anyway I have one more week of my current job. I am just kind of coasting right now. Well I need to get some stuff done and get ready for my interview. I promise to give you all a full update on what is happening soon. P.S I stopped taking the A.D's
Later Doc
And if I claim to be a wise man, well It surely means that I don't know
Thanks for the "happy fathers day wishes" (I wish there was a happy Husbands day......) Anyway Son made me a great Video card if I can figure out how to send it I will show you all that I have E-mails for..
Well this is my last Monday..(No word about the job yet interview) When I got in this morning I had an E-mail from one of my engineers about a new NPI project coming up that he wanted me to work on. I had to E-mail him back to say that this may be my last week here so I will have to let him know. As for my Marriage? Well I did have a nice Fathers day. Wife kept coming in and out of her alternative world. I went up to visit my Dad's grave and as usual I tiered up. I miss my Dad sooo much. He would know what I need to do. He could set me straight. EVERYONE out their who's parents are still around. LOVE them no mater what. Life is to short and when they are gone... The words that should have been said (the I love you’s) and were not can never be said. And it hurts inside. (My dad was a Man’s Man and “guys don’t hug”. Not me I hug my son every chance I get) Well take care everyone I have a feeling this is going to be a looooooooooooooog last Monday.

Ok So this one female co-worker who was laid off (and wanted to be) called to take me out to lunch tomorrow. I said ok.. THEN this other woman wanted to take me out also but I told her I was already going out and she said it had to be Wednesday because where she wanted to take me is a restaurant that is owned by a another woman we both know that also used to work here and Wednesdays is her "buffet" day. I told her how about next Wednesday.. She said that I will already be gone by then but I told her I will not be here but that does not mean I can't meet her there.....
Boy it sucks being popular Doc
