Sorry to hear you got the new corporate handshake. That too is reality for young people starting out having to take jobs for contracted time periods. Enjoy the break, I know you will have lots to keep you busy until a new hobby that pays comes along. Still doing the woodworking?

Good movie
I don't hold any ill will towards them. I'd seen this coming and the sad part is that a year from now the business will have folded all together.

Enjoy the break, I know you will have lots to keep you busy until a new hobby that pays comes along. Still doing the woodworking? So true; there is no such thing as a job for life any more. Last time I read about it, the average time spent at any one job is just under three years.
Now that I don't have to worry about the horrendous and very dangerous commute, I have time to relax and explore options. I doubt that woodworking as a job is in my future; my body couldn't take the strain
I see many people making comfortable livings by producing Youtube videos...maybe there is something there.

Sorry to hear that Pete. Had the same thing happen to me back in 2001 when after 21 years at CP, I was called into a "meeting". It was then I was informed that I was "redundant" or some other thing. I was given a nice severance package & given 30 days to see if I could land a position somewhere else in the company. It was surreal and recall having almost an out of body experience at the time. I was actually fine with it, oddly enough. What was disappointing was that I was not allowed to retrieve my personal effects from my cubicle at the time. Instead I too was ushered out of the building with an outplacement specialist. I get it I guess but thought it a no-class move. I was hoping they'd dress me in orange coveralls and then they could drag me out while I was screaming! That was a while ago but the memory is relatively fresh.
No doubt your weren't screaming but mostly disappointed. The fact you were more concerned about your colleagues speaks volumes about your character. It's now time to kick back, sample some more craft brews and re-engage some other hobbies like.....woodworking?
Cheers big guy and all the best!
Russ

Aloha Sir, Well Pete we will be rooting for you and hopefully you find some thing to get about for your time. I have had employers like that before and ones that just walk up to you and you are still working at the job and then they say..... " Well this is your last day we are cutting short ". That is why I went to work for myself in the later years and did better. My only Big Boss was my Wife but she was also the Accountant / Banker so I did not loose money.... . But continue on Sir and we will pray that you come up again where it matters and you will meet your needs. Being in that age bracket is just fine Pete because this is when we can say ....." We Have Been There Before ". Like Russ mentioned it is always people like us that worry about the younger ones and other fellow workers and we feel for them so they can get going again. The younger generations really suffer now days but before it was not that bad.The main object is one get what they were expected to get when the curtain comes down. Consideration about others ( Workers Especially ) can play a major part for an ex-employer even if business does go down. I have had a few employers that that happened to them also and I even worked a few weeks more for free just to help them finish up what was left to do and they were very appreciative about it also. Take care and always look up and continue on in your life time that you have. Aloha Sir Louis

If you take up "YouTubing" as a hobby, please refrain from the constant jump-cuts the young'uns are employing all the time! Especially if you do a series on watch repair / service

YouTubing? Sod that. There’s a job for you out there Pete, and it’s President of USA. Don’t worry that you’re Canukistanuan, if Trumplestiltskin can get in you can. I think your running mate should be @cd_god and your campaign manager should be Adrian-VTA as he can fix anything... #Zeke2020

Besides, I have a conscience and a soul

Yeah, that might be a hindrance. Re jump-cuts: always cutting between sentences and not having long takes. I can search for an example, but I'd rather not.

I'll have to see if any of my interests are encompassing enough that I could make weekly videos about them. Maybe just videos about fixing stuff...watches, digital cameras, antique mechanical toys, etc.

Yes. Videos. On camera fixing and watches etc...that would be cool. And if you set up a gofundme for beer deficit, I'll contribute.
Hope all is well, Pete.

First they wrecked your car and then they took your job.
Better let the Hate flow now rather than bottle it up.

I got warrants.
I don't need Peter running for office to get all of the opposition party drudging up dirt on the competition to get me ca8ght up.
That is why Oprah declined the Great Black Hope Libtard ticket immediately after Hillary crashed and burned after the last time.
She has too much money to risk losing when they start digging on her past and present.
You can preach tolerance and equality and morals but what it comes down to at the end of the day is greed and the ALMIGHTY DOLLAR.

Josh, I don't hate anyone and nothing is getting bottled up inside. My car may be messed up but it has outward signs that tell other drivers that I don't mind calling their bluffs
I'll find another job, if I'm really interested
