    Default [chat] Back to work!

    After 18 months or so of an Automotive Industry slump, I am back at my old company with full credit for seniority (That means mostly my 5 weeks of vacation time! Plus a 1 week paid shutdown between Christmas and New Years.)

    I believe the US market is starting its upswing. From my 28 years in this industry, build shops and suppliers usually lead the economy by a year or so as Automotive retools for a fresh surge. At least that is my experience - we slump sooner, and start climbing sooner.

    Just thought I would share.

    Congratulations. I'm sure the past months were incredibly difficult.

    Difficult - yes

    I was taking classes and trying not to go stir crazy.
    I'm CompTIA A+, Network+, and Security+ certified now.
    There are a few more I will pursue - time permitting.
    I also took some college classes.
    The IT Training was paid courtesy of Michigan's No Worker Left Behind program.

    Things are looking up
    The wife was working, so I had benefits during that time.

    Thanks for the well wishes everyone!

    usa2k, congrats!!!
    my wish list:
    1. Intelligent Call Forwarding that detects the incoming call originated from the "forwarded" phone and rings the original destination instead
    2. Call History that makes use of CallerID/Custom CallerID+Location. Call History only shows Custom CallerId+Loc. No CNAM look up; Albeitly,it's a step in the right direction!
    3. Scheduled sim. ring with a twist (see wish #1)
