Lounging around Party Cove... I love to do that!!
I love teaching. Did it for a couple of years. Thinking I will try to get back into it.
I also liked my job as a quality engineer.... I am good at building raport with customers/suppliers.... I was good at it, but low man on the totem pole... you understand.

Well I work in the Automatic Temperature control (ATC) field which doesn't quite jive with your field. However in Middletown De. Johnson has a battery manufacturing plant. It looks like it is a UAW site (I don't know if thats good for you or not). Again I know you don't want to relocate but I'm just doing what I can...

Sorry to hear about the bad news Mike. I know what your going through. Thats how I ended up here in Florida. Dont regret the move or the new job search. Sometimes these things can be a blessing in disguise. Follow the advice of everybody else and keep your chin up.
