Hi Ray

I feel for you mate. Bit of bad news but try not to let it get you down. Words are easy to say in light of problems but look on the positive that if you had been born in different times you would be in a totally different position. We are lucky to live in such times even though today probably seems pretty average for you.

As for corporations they have no soul and never have or ever will. It's business and not life. I've had a few dealings with them and I stay very wary of them. Been told yes you have work, hand shake, sign you up next week and then things change. Suddenly no work and I've wasted a couple of weeks in the process. I got a bit upset and asked what's up and the reply "why are you so worked up about it." Rather shake hands with a snake. To them people are just faces and numbers and not real people, dollars are all they see. On the positive side few weeks later I scored a job on the mines earning way much more money with a bunch of cool guys. It was just that my destiny was somewhere else.

If you stay positive Ray then some of the best development of character in life is not when things are enjoyable but when times are tough.
There are still nice people in life just look in the right places and you'll find them!
