Yeah... So I told the CO monkeys this news last night.
I got a call from my boss late yesterday, and he is shutting the company down immediately and declaring bankruptcy. There was some concern he wouldn’t be able to make payroll this month, but I think that’s settled. I’m not really in a good place financially for this to have happened right now i.e. I won’t be taking a year sabbatical. Gotta start the job search hustle like now, yo.
Fortunately, I had one foot out the door already. I started a user experience design course a couple of weeks ago, which is where my career has been kinda-sorta naturally heading anyways. The course will jump start that trajectory, which I see as an evolution of 15+ years of graphic design combined with the last 5+ years of tech project management. My timeline is just bumped up... way up. The boss and I are gonna talk again today, he’s suggesting that I poach our clients for freelance work once he makes the announcement the company is shutting down. So, there is a sort of a short term plan, but it still makes me nervous as hell.
Needless to say, I’ll be jamming on putting my resume and portfolio together ASAP. If anyone has a good resume writing/review resource for creative types, I’d be much obliged.

sorry to hear that dude. I can write a great resume, but I'm not a creative guy, I'm in biotech. I am apparently pretty good at interviewing, too.
Bummer FT
We start the drive to Kentucky this afternoon with a short jaunt to Sacramento to meet up with the other rig. Big drive is tomorrow. Sac to Salt Lake City, 11 hours.

Sorry to hear, @Full Trucker, best of luck. I'll be on a lookout for an open job for you in our Broomfield office.
It was a butter breton in my case, otherwise same. And I was choosing poorly.
Its a weekly publication that comes out every Monday and sometimes (usually) Tuesdays
mrs stoney ok? anyone else in the car with her?Woman came back in a different car 30min later.Took blame, but swapped cars... I'm really glad we have the camera. Let's see what's on it when she gets home.
b0rk
we never heard if he made it off the runway yesterday after watching frontier
Yeah. Slow speed because of the snow. We might get lucky with the responsibility of blame if any issues come up. Wifey had the car on and the camera is always on, so when she knocked on the window and told her that she hit her, we have should have it on the camera. I need to pull it when I get back to the house.
She needed a new front bumper anyways because of a broken bracket, so win for us. But depreciation because it was a clean title before. Not looking forward to that fight.
never know what happens with that crap. I got tapped by some idiot who out idioted even me and clipped my bumper as I drove past. Quite a bit of work, she was totally at fault, never made it to the carfax as far as I know. We ditched the car shortly thereafter.
concur.Fuck.
Airplanes.
I hope you've informed the authorities in this matter.Woman came back in a different car 30min later.
i can only imagine what auto insurance is like for massholes
@Full Trucker: Good luck!
FT: Check to see if U of C is hiring? Stability and benefits, yo.
And by that used their web portal or non-emergency line. Anything not involving serious injury will be priority 0 today, I'm guessing. Shitshow out there!
Told Wifey to call the non-emergency no matter what. She didn't has too much trust in people. Apparently she pulled off to the other side of the dealership and they didn't see each other. I questionably believe that, but I doubt Wifey walked more than 50' to look for someone, so...
I need to confirm the video though. That will cover our ass to full extent.
Fuck that. Bitch runs off, Imma call 911.
Edit: sniped by @stoney, but my comment stands.
Was that where her second car was parked?
fastest car sale transaction everWas that where her new car was parked?
Supposedlt, after she (Wifey) didn't show for 10min, she left. Went home, got a more appropriate car, then came back to see if they just missed each other.Fuck that. Bitch runs off, Imma call 911.

Or, perhaps, Colorado School of Mines?
I still kinda wish their position I was interviewing for had paid better...
One of our residents lives in Brighton. Apparently I-76 was a nightmare, especially with somewhat bald all-seasons per him--took him 2 hours to get in! I invited him to stay in our guest bedroom tonight since I live closer and have my Land Cruiser on Nokians.
Heh.....45 miles to the aeropuerto from mi casa.
2.5 hours there.
2 hours home.
Best part is my plane never made it up here out of Co Springs this morning, so it probably was @Pesqueeb 's fault !!
Shits broke!
Sounds like our drive out to the aiport a couple years back on our way to Cabo. Google told us to take 470->70->76->96th->Tower->airport. I, of course, said Google was full of shit, went east on Bowles, saw the shitshow of people trying to get up the hill towards Santa Fe, and proceeded to take Google's suggested route.45 miles to the aeropuerto from mi casa.
2.5 hours there.
2 hours home.

WTF? Fuck giving him a place to stay - tell him to go straight to the goddam tire shop and get some goddam snow tires. It'll serve him right, the amount of time he'll waste waiting for the tires to get installed...
