Hello all, I got a notification that I have not posted for a while............

[Sam]

Hi everyone, I have been busy with life stuff and I generally don't have much to add to what others are posting to questions and such. Mostly just check the forum to see how folks are doing.
I have a survival related topic for us city dwellers in today's job market.
I was injured at work last Sunday and had to get my thumb stitched up, I was fired the next day. I have no write ups in my file so I was more than surprised by this to say the least. As I left the office my former boss say good luck in a less than nice tone. I told her I make my own luck, and left. The next day I went for an interview and landed a better job. More hours, pay, and respect. I also am going to be able to train and test to get my chef certification with my new job. I have put in more than 40 apps. in the previous two weeks and interviewed for an average of 4 jobs a week for the last two months.
My advice in this is to do the same thing any of us will in a survival situation. DO NOT QUIT. And keep a positive attitude. And remember no matter how bad your life feels during a low point, we all have had worse days in the past and survived them.
For the old hands here that is not a new concept, but I think it is worth mentioning.
-Sam

Congratulations Sam, The nice think about making your own luck, is you can make as much of it as you want.

Congrats on the new job Sam. Hope the thumb is doing OK.

Be sure and call your former boss & share the good news! Right before you say goodbye tell her "Good Luck!" She deserves it!

Congrats, Sam. Glad you landed a better job and you made a good post. My mom always said when one door closes another opens. In fact, she said that every morning when she pushed me out the door and locked it.

Sam, good to hear from you, with an update.

As far as not quiting, good advice,...... always.
As most of us have/or will face SHTF any number of ways...........and generally don't involve Zombies....Life stuff is a more likely senerio.
Congrats.
