Did you ex-GF take your pickup truck or crash it into a train?

It does sound like the perfect time to move on...

Brad is right . . . a pickup has to be involved somewhere.

Morning Tithe...

Terminus,

I used you name in vain on another Zero vs F4F thread. You were the one who gave me the original guidance that these threads were a bad idea when I first joined the WiTP forums.

Hope this does not anger you...

Sorry mate. At least you can make a clean break now.

Seriously: have you looked into collecting unemployment yet? That's the reason companies pay into the program, so you can have a safety net in times of need.

Hope the best for you, dude.

No. That would be my definition of mixed feelings: ex-GFU getting hit by a train...in your truck.

Nik,
I noticed in a thread on the main page you mentioned Gamble's book on Rabaul. I've been eyeing that one as a potential purchase. Do you recommend?


you mean the "thread that shall not be mentioned' now that our boy and his pom pom supporter have arrived.


Yes...highly recommended with one cavet. If you've already done some research on Port Morosby's air battles you might be disapointed at the lack of Shores like treatment in places. Also the 1943 era of Fortress Rabaul gets short shrift.

Gamble doesn't really break much new ground except in providing some juicy specifics on No75 squadron's blooding at the hands of Tainan AG....(and no....they were not always outnumbered, were not at low power, nor had the sun in their eyes at the time) as well as 8th FG. He refines the relationship between Kenney, Mac and his subordinates and gives more info on the development of skip bombing that was less superficially covered in Bergerud.




Thanks, Nik. I decided to post this question here because the main forum does get testy at times. Thanks to stuman for his reply as well.

I'm also sorry to hear about the recent course in your life. I've had a couple of patches like that myself. I think many here are offering you good advice. Somewhere with a support system is good for the short term. at least. For the long term, you need to start thinking about where you might be most able to make the things you value most part of your life again.

No chance of unemployment. My job was eliminated but i wasn't laid off. I have a choice of accepting a domotion to entry level phone rep or i can seek employment elsewhere. Guess which option i'm taking?

I hate that. It's such an f****** cop out on the part of the employer-a way to get around paying for unemployment coverage. "Your position was eliminated" is a load of Charlie Romeo Alpha Papa.

Guess what happens as soon as they downsize you? They can retitle the position, create a 'new' position (with precisely those previous job descriptions that you had) or wait a month and then do either of the above. ERG it makes me mad.

Be sure to burn all your sick time, vacation time and personal leave time. Call in sick with Ebola or some such.
