    Thanks very much to the many of you who offered me help and well-wishes when I mentioned that I lost my job. I can't legally say much but the company that down-sized me outta a job is being very underhanded in many ways. This shows me that it is indeed a blessing not to be working for them anymore. As soon as I got canned (literally within 2 hours of being told I was a gonner) I jumped on the horse and started looking for a job. No I don't have one yet but I do have interview #2 Thursday. That's the second interview with the same company not just another interview. It's no longer in the automotive industry directly but for a robotics company that makes assembly line robots among other things. Anyway, I just wanted to let some folks know because it seems many of you were generally interested in helping me. Thanks a lot. I answered a CL add for a Arabic belly dance instructor. I can only assume when I showed up white, fat, balding and totally lacking any semblance of rhythm, talent or ability they declined to let me even perform!?!?!?

    The place I work for makes parts for the place you no longer work for, I'll tell the guys on the line to short em a few parts for ya :D So does the name of the place you are interviewing for start with an A or an F? lol I'm just guessing here I took a class programming the fanuc bots, tons of fun! Playing with those things would be a hard to hate job. Rock on man!

    The prospective Job is Kawasaki Robotics, in Wixom. Yeah, I think it would be a fun place to work. Plus, my 6 year old son would be thrilled that daddy works on robots!!!!

    Your Dad may try to beat up my Dad, but he won't be able to get past his killer robots...
