Adios ! > Maryland

Posted: 4/3/2009 12:00:21 PM EDT

To my new-found friends in Maryland, I must bid adios! The job I took here evaporated in an instant. It is a long story that I think I will not be able to tell over the next beer, since I will be departing The Old Line State within a few days.

The short story is:

The company said, "You expect to be paid?"
I said, "Do you want to talk to my lawyer in Columbia?"

End of story.

I'll be headed back to Colorado for a while. I have one or two other opportunities here in the east, but I need to be home with my family for a while.

Take care.

Here's hoping you land in a place with better gun laws.

Right now it looks like Colorado, Ohio, or Virginia.

Goodbye Comrade, we will all have to work that much harder to make up for less people....though it's looking like I'll be following suit in about a month back to Texas

Brother, sorry I'm just getting to this. If been training all week.

Sorry to hear about the job.

It was a pleasure to meet you and talk with you at the last dinner.

I know everything will turn out good for you and the family.

Take care. If you are ever around these parts even VA. Give us a hollar.

If you dont mind me asking, what line of work are you in, and what city were you employed in?

Take care, come on back if you can.

I made it back at noon yesterday. I stopped at the state line to memorialize the event.

To answer the question about what I do:

I do business consulting to diversify companies and make them more profitable. I have an engineering degree, and MBA, and a Six Sigma Black Belt certification. I focus on business development, operations, and general management. My background is in semiconductors, data storage, consumer electronics, and government contracting as of late. I was working with a new small MBE (Minority Business Enterprise) in Maryland. They were positioning themselves to play on the small business set-asides on government contracts. The problem was that the management was weak and the company struggled from the start. I think they'll be gone soon.

I'm glad I met you guys. As I mentioned once previously, I'm convinced you are all stark raving gun freaks. Keep it that way!

More pics? You don't have to twist my arm. My favorite spot is at 9200' altitude. I have 36 acres of heaven.
This place will make you dream a little bit, won't it?

This is my shooting range.
