Goddammit Sarge.
Speaking as a man who has had unfair accusations leveled against him and used as evidence for severing my visible means of support-- Fuck 'em. They can't eat you. If you want to hang out at the old sewage lagoon, you go right the hell on and hang out brother. They DO NOT OWN YOU OR YOUR SENSE OF SELF WORTH. I've been in your shoes, and they are some cruel goddamn shoes. But unless you're Imelda Marcos, you're more than those shoes. See the situation for what it is--no more. You're my friend. And I have lots of company in that regard. See clearly.

I guess that "at will" stuff is why the US economy is doing so well, eh?

It was a 3-2 vote to terminate me. The Board stated it was over recent concerns. I'm just trying to keep my head up and make plans on how to support my kids. It has been a difficult 2 years, but I will miss it terribly.

I hate to be all trite and say 'when one door closes...' but I really think that's when we find the best and most unexpected opportunities!
Hang in there Big Sarge! |

Awww man, I'm sorry!
As painful as it is, try to think of this as an opportunity to explore other options. Keep your chin up! We still you.

Now you have closure on this. It's done. You don't need to spend more energy on "what will I do? what will happen? what if...____?" That's a load off, and now you can concentrate your energy and effort on more productive channels.
Forward!

So sorry to hear that Sarge.
I know how proud you were to be serving your community in a new capacity. 3-2 shows that at least some people know a good man when they see him. You know you did an outstanding job. But you also know it was very hard on you, and there were times it cast you into despair. So now it's over and the way forward will become clearer. I don't know where you will be this time next year but you are a hard worker, a survivor and a good Dad. And you have us now.

damn that blows. Sorry to hear that. From what we've discussed, you sort of expected that decision though. OK, so now that's done.
Thoughts looking forward - Independent Security Private eye Mercenary (not TheMercenary) Bouncer Leader (whatever they are called. Security Guard for the Rich and famous (or just wealthy) Fuggem bro. You've got some options now. Take a lil breather and see whats going on. Start networking.

Oh Sarge! I'm sorry, but as others have said here it's good to have that mess behind you, and as Sundae said, you did a great job but it was also at very great personal cost sometimes.
I wish you a speedy recovery from this knockback, and brighter, better things ahead. x
