Looks pretty sweet already. Frank is a handy guy!It's a concrete floor and the laundry room is there too, so the plan is for some vinyl plank, nothing fancy. Frank has done all the work, built the closet, installed these nice 2"LED recess cans put the cupboards up above my modeling desk, there's some barn door sliders yet to do, he's amazing.
It's a bit of a mess just now, but it'll come together pretty quick.

That’s the I’ve mentioned itvI must have missed your original telling of that. Really sux. Best of luck finding something, hopefully better.
Thanks Mike. I didn’t post it here until that reply. Life is good. And it will go on. I’m actually relieved. I hated working for that company. But I met a lot of great people along the way. Some of them will meet the same fate in the months to come. And I feel really bad for them.I must have missed your original telling of that. Really sux.

Safe flight home my good friend. Let us know when you’re back safe at home. And when you’ll be coming back. We’ll always have room for you.Just got to my hotel at LAX.
I’ll refrain from such responses at this present time.
I gotta keep it clean, for now.

This club is amazing!And now it’s my turn to thank
@Chucky Stiletti and fam.
Welcomed a complete stranger to be with them, let alone our little group of TBird lovers having a little shindig.
People who have not met each other and
a family inviting them all into their home
is a pretty big deal.
That’s a sign of trust.
Not to be taken lightly.
And this I will not forget.
Thanks Geo. Rifs (the HR term for reduction in force) suck. Geico laid off approximately 25% of the legal department a week ago Tuesday. Absolutely no warning. And they don’t have the guts to announce it publicly. And the way it was handled was demeaning and unprofessional. I was the low man on the totem pole.
I have plenty of prospects, so I’ll no doubt find something for the next couple years until official retirement.
They probably did me a favor. Geico is an awful company to work for.

Speaking of my 2015, happy TT!
That’s the I’ve mentioned itv

Thanks Geoff. It’ll be ok. Corporate America is brutal. Geico is a Warren Buffet owned company. He couldn’t care less about his employees. I went through this before when I worked for Allstate. They gave me plenty of notice. And they gave me options to move to Seattle to run the office there or Phoenix. My wife nixed Seattle and who in their right mind would want to live in Phoenix? Flagstaff sure. A nice town. It’s close to skiing, fly fishing, etc. Geico couldn’t offer anything.that sucks Marshall. I hope they at least had the decency to give you a decent redundancy payment to ease the shock.
Good luck with the job search.
Thanks Miles.Sorry to hear that. We're perfectly happy with State Farm for our home & car insurance needs, but Geico is now on my list of companies to steer people away from.
Hold on, Geo isn’t drinking a Pils. Oatmeal stout?
