I go back to see the doc on the 31st and hopefully will get the ok to go back to work. Unfortunately, there is no work!
The company that I work for filed chapter 11 and is officially closing the doors to my plant. By the way, we make solar panels and I'm a quality supervisor that overseas all the lab testing of all product. Go figure!!! Green energy! The wave of the future!
Guess what? There are no guarantees. At 53 I have to start all over again and go through all the BS of finding another job. Wonderful!
But you know what? I'm not that upset. Maybe this will open the door for new opportunities. My old job was a 42 mile commute one way.
Now I have the chance to find something closer to home. I've been in manufacturing for over 25 years, and I'm a lead quality systems auditor for ISO9000, QS9000, TS16949. I've done quality trouble-shooting for 12 station integrated production lines (14 lines running at once) that looks like the engineering dept on the star ship Enterprise. Also I know steel like the back of my hand and have even been head of production, receiving and shipping for a steel service center.
Ok enough of the ranting. I'm not looking for sympathy. I'm just pointing out how things can change in a hurry and sometimes scare the hell out of you.
Oh, by the way. If you need a right hand man for running your quality dept in Grand Rapids ( I don't want to relocate), I'm your guy!
I'm heading to the north woods tomorrow for some fishing and r & r, so to those on this side of the pond, "Happy Memorial Day Weekend".
Take a momnet to stop & think about those who gave their all to keep us free!
God Bless!
