I just got the email from the company HR dept this afternoon. I was not offered the perm job. I pretty much expected that, as I'm pretty old for their employee demographic. Anyway, at least I know what's NOT going my way.
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers on my behalf.
That sucks. Plans?

Dennis,
I am sorry to hear this. However, that doesn't mean I will stop praying.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves…freely, his sly whispers…heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims...he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.” Cicero

Best of luck with finding a new job.
No plans right now. Got to adjust a bit to the disappointment.
Dang bud that just sucks bad.

Sorry Dennis!
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...it's about learning to dance in the rain!!!
Sorry to hear that, Dennis. Their loss. I am sure that as one door closes, another one will open.

I'm so sorry to hear this Dennis. I pray something better opens up for you.

Well, that sure is a disappointment. I take it you will have built up some credits for UE at least for awhile. Prayers for finding another job.
Will you try to stay in TX? Or do you miss the WI winters?

Is it reasonable to commit the management of public revenue to one who has wasted his own patrimony? Those, therefore, who pay no regard to religion and sobriety in the persons whom they send to the legislature of any State are guilty of the greatest absurdity and will soon pay dear for their folly." --John Witherspoon,
That is a shame Dennis. The way they do these things now days sucks big time.
I will keep you in my prayers that something good comes your way.
I'm sorry, you did not deserve another disappointment. I hope that it means something even better will come along!

You broke into the wrong rec room.
I hear Houston is still cooking. I may end up there myself before long. Check out Indeed.com and search by city.
God has something else planned for your life! His plan is perfect!

I am sorry Dennis.

Why in the world would they send you an email rather than tell you to your face? That is not cool. So exactly what does this mean. Was this their way of firing you or do you still work there until they say you don't, what? Either way it sucks but to tell you by email instead of face to face is rotten. I think I would ask to talk to the boss and get an explanation.
Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Dennis,
Austin is an empoyment oasis in the recession, especially for computer-savvy people like you. I'm sure you can find something permanent. Start looking while you still have the current job. Also maybe you can go the self-employment route part-time, consulting or repairing computers. Also retail establishments which sell computers sometimes need employees who know their stuff.
Took the words right out of my mouth, so to speak. When I look at seeming disappointments in my life, I see that they were really blessings in disguise. I hope that soon you will see a bright, silver lining here, Dennis.
May the peace of Jesus Christ be with you.
I'm sorry to hear that... God will provide the right one for you! Praying for ya!

I'm sorry this didn't work out, dennis. But as others have mentioned, nothing happens without a reason. We'll have to keep hoping and praying, and waiting to see what that reason is! Good luck
You will do well, you will survive.
There is something more out there for you.
Take care,

I'm sorry, Dennis. I still believe God brought you to Texas for a reason so I know something will come up.

Nuts! Feels like a real dash of cold water, doesn't it? The good thing about it is that you still have all your fingers and toes and you can go back at it again. Sometimes a good nights sleep helps put a little perspective in the picture. It must be very comforting to know so many here are pulling for you. We'll just continue on sending the prayers up for you to land on your feet and into a rosy situation very soon.
I'm sorry Dennis. Praying something better comes along for you and your pups!

Very sorry to hear that, but I'm sure that there's something out there and BETTER that will come your way. You're a very smart person and you deserve it.
sorry for the job not happening, God will provide
Sorry man....hope you find something for your skill set soon!

That's bs; you are the perfect person for the job. notified via email? WHAT a weenie. As noted here, something great may be in the wings. I was tremendously disappointed when I was declined for the traveling Diebold gig after they had wanted me but determined I had 1 too many tickets in a 4 year period. But now, i will get to start into the EPIC food chain...(June 25)

Wow, didn't expect that after all the great work you've been doing. Their loss. You got this job, you'll get another, better, one. Take care.
It's never too late to start ACTING OUT.
Well that just totally stinks. Hopefully you will have time to find something else before you are let go. I'll be keeping you in my prayers.
That sucks! I'll continue to keep you in prayers.

Dennis I am so so sorry. Mike and I will definitely pray for you.
Don't blame me. I voted for the American.

Sorry Man.

I'm sorry to hear that, Dennis.
Nowadays, if you are not in the 26 to 40 year old age range, you don't have a chance at a permanent job with bennies.
Nobody wants to pay the company's portion of the health insurance premiums on the aging worker....
The system sucks, IMHO...
Damn, I am disappointed for you!
Adjust & regroup.

(((Dennis))
I've thrown my back out trying to kiss my ass goodbye.
I was robbed! ... You kept me up all night waiting for the Great Pumpkin, and all that came was a beagle...
Sorry to hear that. I agree they should've told you face to face and not in an email.
