I think because of a ramp up of the new chevy camaro, some folks got the call back to go into work, suffice it to say i am heavily curious as to where the clock numbers stopped at.

Since a buddy of mine posted his recall on facebook, his clock number is in the lower 200′s if i remember right, that ups the optimism for my recall sometime later this month, or early june. At the moment its still 50/50 if i get permanently laid off, chrysler still has to work out details of the chapter eleven, and even if and when it does, the start up is never full throttle. Combine that with the GM idle, plus its deadline approaching, things could get dicey.

However the news has been encouraging, the judge overseeing the bk has allowed the sale of chrysler assets to be sold, effectively to itself. The hedge fund holdouts have had had half of their number defect and its hopefully only a matter of time before the remainder take a cold look at the future and seek the best possible terms.

Money was also authorized for suppliers, which may explain the partial recall, hopefully the company knows something regarding the situation.

As for me, my next step is to file a claim on saturday, which will start the employment insurance full time, possibly look for a part time job next week that is disposable, in anticipation of the recall.

Till next update

So here i sit trying to achieve some sort of a zen mental state regarding the layoff. The sunday before possibly moving on to a new job and a new life.

I do have some concrete actions that have to be done, my financial institution has to be informed so i can invoke the layoff insurance that is packaged with the loan and check out some temp agencies for walking around money.

But thats tommorow or the next day, right now i have to finish working on an overhead garage door opener to start with. Damm things are more complicated than they need to be, i think the sticking point is the wiring that leads to the electric eyes and the inside opener.

But really this is distracting me from what i need to do. There is a time for busy work to keep you occupied and then there is time for strategic contemplation. I have lost count of how many jobs i have had and now i face the reality that i may have to add another entry into the resume, heck its getting to the point where i am going to have to revamp it.

But the question remains, what do i want to do. If the lottery and independent wealth remains elusive, then another job is a must. I am getting up in age, that sooner or later i am going to be forced into a knowledge based career, as strength and vitality are sure to fade.

One thing thats becoming more prevalent in my thoughts is to pick up another domain name, something that would be for career oriented small business purposes. With the manticore domain already up and running, rehosting the second one would take all of a couple of seconds on the control panel and two days for the new site to propogate through the web.

For now some food is required and then on to finishing up some tasks.
