With the quality of work you put out, it will only be a matter of time before you'll gave more work than you know what to do with. But in the mean time, more time to get the pop top out?

My only recommendation, and please take this as constructive criticism, is to make sure that you or someone on your payroll knows how to run a business. Your design and fabrication skills are well known, but I've seen plenty of great fabricators who don't have a clue about running a business.
We want to see you succeed, and you already have a big fan base here, so best of luck in your new career!

P.S. Did you run a virus your last day in the office, designed to round off fractions of cents and send them into a personal account?

Congratulations on being lied off. I was laid off from the same employer in the late 90's. Being laid off lead to a much better position. Good luck with your new adventure.

Mike, I am certainly hoping everything works out well. I faced the same fate today, I have been there long enough (20 years) and I am old enough to get the early retirement package. I am sure I will land on my feet, but this has left a bad taste in my mouth for corporate america.
Anyhow, now that I have some spare time, can anyone use a CANBUS controlled power distribution solution.

Something tells me that you will end up with our money and we will be loving it.
Congrats and, not that you need it, best of luck.

Is it just me, or does the word "partnership" leap to mind?

Thank you for the advice. I learned long ago to surround myself with people who know how to do the things I don't.
Rather than release a virus, I simply walked out with the design details of the latest tester still in my head. I never got a chance to get them into CAD because of all the BS meetings and ego battles so now my group will be months behind schedule. They'll quickly realize that their talent left the building.
