[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 281238, member: 3444"] Thanks Terry & DDD :) He's been getting some really helpful emails from associates who were either let go this week or last February with lots of great advice. He already has names of people he's worked with before who are at other companies locally now in similar jobs that he may be able to contact. That's the one good thing about his mood disorder -- he can be VERY gregarious and charming with the people he works with. His mildly grandiose behavior (sometimes generous to a fault with others) has made him a popular guy with others. I can remember when he first started at the company he would invite his team of about a dozen people over to our house a few times each year for a fish fry lunch (we'd go trout fishing and always brought back more than we could ever eat) that he would cook himself. Or to thank the support people he relied on in sattelite offices, he'd make a care package for that team with goodies he knew they all liked and ship it to them as a surprise. He had a group of about 15 people he played poker with several times a year, or he played on softball teams with some, or went to company golf tournys with others. I guess when you spend close to 19 of your 46 years of life at one place, it becomes like a second family to you. He may never enjoy that level of camraderie again, but hopefully he will hold onto and continue to nurture those relationships and not let them slip away. Anyhow... he's outside sleeping in the hammock now, and I've got to run to get the kids from school since they're out early today. [/QUOTE]
