We'll it was a nice 7 year ride, however got the axe today. I hope to last a couple of months before I start selling off all my music stuff. However, hope to get another job before that happens...

I'm getting drunk about 1:00 today and hope 20 beers will be enough...

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. What type of work did you do? I hope you can find something else you like asap. Does laid off constitute a rehiring at some point down the road?

good luck

Thanks,
Donny. I was a computer desktop supervisor for a Applied Materials here in Asutin and supported about 400 users. They had to cut the budget and I've dodged it for so long. doubt I'll be back...

Stay sober, keep your head up. Everything happens for a reason. Maybe you are destined for better things!

Sorry to hear that. Hope you find something and soon.... I hate to see people sell off their equipment like that... I know because I've been there myself. Hold on to that equipment, and after you sober up start looking for something else..

My sympathies about the layoff, but trust that you'll find another (even better) job soon. In the meantime, take this as an opportunity to spend more time making music.

Sorry to hear about this, Beachbum.

I wish you only the best in the future.

Hey, I think you're a pretty good singer. You got a unique Sting-like voice and you live in Austin, TX. Austin has a very diverse music scene if I remember correctly. Could there be a future in music for ya?

Good luck to you DJ!
Don't drink too much, that probably won't help things.
Hope you find something soon anyway, enjoy 6th street and Travis Walk. (SRV)

Really sorry to hear this. I hope you find something before you have to sell off the gear cos that would be a tragedy esp. as you have been working so hard and your music is coming together brilliantly.

Enjoy the beers and here's to hoping that you find work soon and that it is a better job than before.
Best to you
Tony W

I'm really sorry to hear that DJ,

But please do not stop the music !!!
That would really be sad, Sell your house, sell your car , but please don't sell the music gear!!!
A musician without his music is like a fish on dry land .

But stay optimistic, I'm sure there are plenty of jobs you can get.
I wish you the best and lots of luck in your future .
Enjoy the beers, but don't overdo it.

Greetz and good luck ,
Marcel
