I have been in danger of losing my job several times because my company has lost the accounts I was on. It allways worked out. It has also allways been for the better. Keep your head up. If you have enough good karma in your life account you will be O.K.

Dodge has a V10 perfomance Ram they're selling for over $40k base price.
I bought a new loaded Silverado (equivalent) in '87 for $13,000. Apparently the inflation rate is 300% since then.

A half page ad costs $1500 a month. That's $18k per year. I can't imagine what SWB gets in a large city.


Actually, our rate was for a non-for-profit organization.


Newspaper adds are even worse too. I'd hate to see what radio and tv adds would run. Advertising is a killer, but you have got to do it from time to time.

If it gets to the point where you can some toys from the success of your enterprise then more power to you. Enjoy it bc if you are in that position you earned it.
Yep. It takes an enormous amount of risk tolerance. Even though my company's becoming well-established, the worry about covering payroll each month is always there.

Why did I look at this thread and thought it said, "I am getting laid tomorrow."

Good luck Buster's dad.

Seems to be lots of layoffs all over. We canned a bunch at the end of 2004 and are getting ready for another round later this year - in our department. Other parts of the company just laid off more this week.

Eventually they will get me too.

I would rather be reading a story about you being laid tomorrow. Damn that off.

Hope it all works good for you.

If you hide well enough they will never find you. If they do and you hide their bodies well enough then it will never matter.
