I told him I wouldn't stop giving him crap for being a Toiletmaker, though.😂😂😜 You’re def okay in my book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Actually starting to enjoy having this time off and actually making more money not to work. Started to feel better and today took a good walk and then went to the pool in our complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is bad is my bank account looks better now than when I was working. I know everything happens for a reason and this hard time will bring something better.

People have been staying in, spending less. Very few times in life are we ever given the opportunity for a true mental break from life. Clear the head, exercise, get tan.....and pick things back up again in down the road. Can't tell you the number of self employed buddies I have across the country who are basically just saying see you in August or September....all on timeout.

BGleas Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Figured I’d close the loop, as I’m grateful for all of the kind works and support from everyone at HSN. It’s been a whirlwind 10+ days or so, as I ultimately received offers for two great opportunities and had to make a tough decision. But to let everyone know, I accepted a new job this morning running direct response/eCommerce marketing for a publisher of DIY books and magazines (woodworking, gardening, sports/outdoor, metal working, cookbooks, pets, etc.) . I’m pretty excited about the opportunity to help them grow. Also, I’m close to landing my first consulting client as well, so it will be fun to work on building that as a side gig. Thanks again for all of the support!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I ran a startup company with a founder for about 6 years but with Covid we got hit hard and he couldn’t pay me anymore, so was out of a job at the end of May. It’s been a crazy process, but excited for this next opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Just now, Sark said: The industry down turn is unprecedented, but there will be a recovery and surge when viable treatments and / or a vaccine are developed. Air travel demand isn’t going away, even with a crisis such as this. And wait until cargo carrying and pax UAV’s become viable . . . Cargo carrying hasn't slowed down that much, but the issue at hand is keeping the ATC facilities staffed. They've been creative with crew schedules, but one person testing positive in a facility is dictating deep cleanings and tests for everybody they came in contact with. I've been lucky in that me and my team can work remotely and still accomplish our jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
