    Exclamation Unemployed!

    Well, after over 11 years of service through thick and thin, the motorcycle dealership I work at fired me today. I can't say I didn't see it coming, I was apparantly quite an asset to the place for the first 5 or 6 years, But my immediate supervisor was killed several years ago, and they hired a new manager from outside, and I never could seem to figure out how to please my new boss. Untill today I was the only employee in my dept. still on board from when this guy took over, I guess I should have paid more attention to the other guys and bailed years ago. My loyalty isn't really paying off right now!

    That's a bum deal after all those years, but hopefully you'll get a chance to find a place where you'll get some appreciation. Maybe you'll be able to look back one day and say, "Thank God I got out of there..." Best of luck.

    Put your best sales effort forward, and sell someone on your great attributes. I pray that you get a marketing gig soon.
