Some of you may know I recently started a new job, middle of August actually after having been made redundant when my old company closed their offices.
Well today my new employer went under, so I join the queue of the unemployed. Oh joy. :rant:
Couldn't pick a better time...not.
I have no good news yet. But I'll keep you posted.
In the meantime if you want scales, send me work as I have plenty of time and need the dosh. :w
Cheers all.
Gary
Gary,
Sorry to hear this! Maybe you could offer scales with a matching fountain pen! That would be a neat combination. Shave, and then record it for posterity! Best of luck in your search for work!

Thanks RT,

Gary
Good attitude. I'm a firm believer that things always work out for the best, although sometimes it is hard to understand at the present time. I'd vote for a forum Fountain Pen, that you could construct and build!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for both of us Gary :tu
Gary, thats the pit's!!:(
The most appropriate smiley for you is:rant::rant:
I sure would be:rant:
I hope things turn positive for you quickly.
Sorry to hear that gary, all the best. :)
Sorry to hear that. I was made redundant last year (at the age of 50), so I know what its like.
Good luck in finding new employment:tu
That really blows Gary. Good luck on finding a new job and in the meantime you'll just have to flood the market with your quality homemade stuff. I understand you make pens as well?
:eek: Not that! I'll have to get a second job!Quote:

Money isn't as good but if I take work home with me I'll go to jail! :D Oh yeah no layoffs either. Go union!
Best of luck!

Commiserations Gary and best of luck. Hope things improve soon.
Gary, I wish you luck on your search for a new and better job...
In my country loosing a job is little to worry about. It happens so often, everyone is used to it... sadly...

Sorry to hear, Gary, and best of luck finding a new job.
Very sorry to hear about the job Gary. I hope things turn around quickly for you.
I too would be interested in an SRP fountain pen. Maybe something with an flexible italic or oblique nib? Even if we don't do it en mass, let me know if you would like to build just one or two.
Cheers,
Ed
Wishing you best of luck finding a new job.
I too am sorry to hear about this.Quote:

Gary, that certainly sucks but hang in there. Focus on job searching and to keep up the spirit work on razors. Whatever happens happens for better, in the long run. It is the short run that is a PITA.
Gary,
Sorry to hear that. I hope the job of you dreams comes your way soon!

Thanks all for your good wishes and words of encouragement.
btw I don't make fountain pens. I collect them, sorry. If I were to make pens they would be expensive as for me the best part of the pen is the nib and I would only use high quality bock nibs $$$$$.
I will be restoring a few razors though and adding some nice scales. Hopefully I shall have some NOS blades soon as well.
Cheers
Gary
Best of luck from me too Gary.
I'll go a step further though - I hope that you not only find a well-paying job quickly, but also you actually enjoy your next job as much as you enjoy working on the straights!
Cheers
