Title: MightyDuc Racing Season on temporary hold...
Post by: MightyDuc Racing on June 02, 2003, 01:27:51 PM
Lost my job today. :(  I have a really strong resume, and should have a new job in no time, but I plan on being a bit picky until I either find the "perfect" job or am forced to go back into the car biz.  If anybody knows of a sales job in the Fort Myers/Cape Coral area, please drop me a line so I can look into it.  Pay has to be really strong so I can keep all my toys... ;).  Not sure what the immediate future holds as far as racing goes, but for now I am planning on having to miss a few rounds.  We'll see. :-/

Sorry to hear that  :(

But, 2 things 12 years in the corporate world have taught me, cream eventually rises to the top and everybody lands on their feet.

You'll be back in the saddle soon.

Thanks.  I've never had any trouble getting a job.  I've had the wife pretty much at home for the last few years and really want it to stay that way.  If racing has to suffer for a bit, I guess I'll just have to deal with the withdrawal...lol.  Just a crappy situation.

If I'm not racing, I may come and corner work anyways.  We'll just have to see...it's still a ways away.  Hopefully I'll get the right job and things will be back to normal by then.

Keep your "chin up". Things will work out for the best. Right now, it may not seem that way but you will find something better. And don't forget, there will always be races to go to. If you ever want to corner work, we can use the help. Hang in there, better times are coming.

Since you are so into racing and bikes why dont you get into the motorcyles business, selling bikes, parts etc for a dealership or online company? 8) Then you wont get into to much trouble when you are on the race websites all the time at work, he he ;D

I'd love to do that, but I can't live on $30K unfortunately and that's what a few guys I know that sell bikes make supposedly.  If you double that, I'm almost there...lol. ;)

Man, you need to make 60K a year? Yea, I guess if you want the wife to stay home and you got a big house/SUV payments. Mine gets into too much trouble if shes at home with little to do, doh :o She does much better if she works, we dont have a kid. Good luck finding a 60K job just starting out in this slower economy. :'( I hope you can find something so you can get back to racing. I was looking foward to being in a few races with you if you ever got up to Roebling or jennings in Sept. ;D

Thanks Kim...hopefully I can get some things rolling quickly.  I've always wanted to basically work for myself, I guess now is as good of a time as any to take a shot at it.

Thanks Motard! :)  I will cross that bridge when it comes a bit closer.  Luckily it's not until September.  I will talk with you more about it once I get my situation here figured out.  Thanks a ton! :D
