So, you want to hear something funny? I've been talking to my old boss today, and he told me (in confidence) that he'd mentioned to my old company that, as they were looking to outsource some work (as they've had some deadlines move up), I would be a good person to hire to do the work. When I went in to drop off the paperwork regarding my severance package, they talked to me about 2 jobs they need done, one on the 28-29th, and another starting Jan. 4th, in the "out-of-town" plant. It will be paid at the level I was at when I left (with the 8% included), and when I travel to the other plant, I'll get mileage as well. They gave me my old badge back and everything! He (old boss) even reminded them that I had said if they change their minds, and I'm still available I'd come back. Honestly, I'm not sure I will - I really am looking forward to moving now, and getting out of this town. But if, after a few months, I can't find anything, I may consider it, as long as I still get the whole severance package. Either way, the severance pays my bills for a while, so this new work, and the mileage, can go straight into savings, or vehicle repair, etc. If I work this right, I may be able to save enough to pay cash for a cheap house on the east side and move anyway, after a while.
I just think it's funny that in less than two weeks, they're effectively "crawling back" to me for help. They even called me today so i could tell the remaining guy how to setup this one job they need done. (He's never run it before, and I didn't leave directions on how to set it up in the program, nor even which program he needs to run for it.) If he were smart, he'd talk to the QA, who has all the information he needs to know, except for the fixture setup.
I wonder how long I can string them along with the contract work, so I can try to find a job out east? Hopefully, at least a few months...
I'm feeling better and better about this whole situation! heheh...
