So what now?

March 11th I lost my job at Hornby Hobbies. I was told "restructuring" and that's pretty much all I heard.

So now what? I've been in the business of slots/hobbies since about 2008. I know that I'm not alone in being unemployed so... yeah. I was only there 2 years and I feel like I left a lot of unfinished business I was personally, emotionally committed to getting done. I loved being able to help the hobbies I love get the products made that I'm sure would benefit the fans of the hobbies. And now... I dunno.

Since I've been stuck at home (like everyone else) I've built a plastic model and watched lots of Netflix and doing some walks/hikes with my wife Karen.

It's been a pleasure to read your posts and learn from your insights. The whole world is sort of sideways now but a new normal will emerge from it just like always.

I got laid of from a Fortune 500 company when I turned 40, but amazingly the next 25 years turned out to be the best of my life. Stay optimistic and embrace new opportunities.

I was recently let go from my job too (you can tell by increased activity on HRW ...haha). Over the last month, millions of Americans and Canadians joined the unemployed ranks, so this is going to be the cold reality for many of us. I am keeping a positive outlook, and my mindset is.....As One Door Closes, Another Opens. That said, it is a difficult time. Cheers RvE
