Smile OT my contract was terminated yesterday

Yes, I know this is OT but I hope that our moderators will not move this.
After 3 1/2 weeks of giving me the run around my company finally ended my contract yesterday. Now I know most of you are going to think this is a bad thing but in reality as far as I am concerned it is the best thing that could of happened. They are going to pay me off and I will be able to collect unemployment so money will not be a big issue for a few months at least.
The best part though is that I will get to spend the rest of summer with my family, something I have not done in 3 years!
Maybe I will even finally get to drive my Turbo that has been sitting in storage for the last year.

David,

Sorry to hear that. I hope that's not a sign of where the semiconductor industry is going since I am just getting ready to go into that type of work. I'm a computer engineering major who would like to do that stuff. Glad to hear you are going to have some fun for the rest of the summer though. Drive the Turbo like its never been driven before

I leave tomorrow night and will arrive home about 1am Saturday morning.
Actually from the looks of things I think the industry is starting to pick back up. My original contract expired the end of next month and the company I work for just decided to pay me off.
Actually I am in Ireland.

Good luck...I'd love that kind of break.

A bit of unsolicited advice from a fellow engineer: medical device industry.

Pikey, for the moment I am happy with the outcome of the money situation. Now I am just hoping that my final paycheck is going to be correct as I won't be seeing it for another week.
