Howdy All,
I thought I'd send out a quick note to all my friends here at the JWMB. First off, Howdy! In case you haven't noticed, I've started posting a little more the past few days. I seem to have a little bit more time on my hands now that the state has let me go. After 22 years in corrections (as an officer, not an inmate!) I always thought that I would be able to withstand the "purge" that has resulted due to the state budget cuts and the economy. But, that's what I get for thinking! At any rate, I've promised myself that now that I have a little more time on my hands, I'm gonna make it a point to get to the message board a few times each week, and make it a point to post some things and be more active than I have been in quite a while. Feels good to be back.
My best to all,
Colorado Bob

Bob,
This sounds like bad news and good news!!
I'd like to say, how sorry to hear your bad news,
which of course, is currently affecting most everyone!

On the other hand, it's great to have you back on board,
and I know we are all going to enjoy your contributions.
Look forward to speaking soon Bob,
and by the way the CD was fantastic

Welcome back Bob! Sorry to hear about your situation, but give it a little time and you'll find yourself in a new job. It's bad out there but there are jobs to be had, it just takes longer to get. Start networking with friends, family, & former co-workers.

Bob,

We join the others in lamenting the loss of your job! Ouch! But we won't be sorry to see you around here a little more :wink_smile:.

I hope your business is helping you out a bit.

Chester :newyear: and the Mrs. :angel1:

I'm glad to see you back here, Bob, Just sorry how the reason came to be. It's a scary time to be out of work. I hope you can hook on somewhere else very soon. And in the meantime, jump right back in and have fun with us.

Mark

Bob,

Glad to see you but sorry as to the reason why. We're glad to have you at any rate.

Thanks Folks, this is one reason I've never left the board altogether, even if I have been around as much as I'd like to. You folks are like family to me, and even all the time I wasn't posting, I thought about you all often. As far as the job goes, well, life is an adventure isn't it! Thanks again.
Bob

Hi Bob

At least and best you have a positive outlook, and as everyone says its great to see you back. There are many platitudes but they say its always darkest just before the dawn, and eventually this mess of a world must get better.

Regards

Arthur

Thanks Arthur.
Best Always,
Bob

Hi Bob -
I left the rat race a few years ago myself (not my idea, like you), but it has let me do other things I didn't have time to do before, especially being here on the JWMB. Hope to see you here more often.

Thanks JJ, I plan to visit the board every chance I get!
