I feel your pain, believe me, but one has to have a positive attitude going foreward or what's the sense of living...there are no guarantees in this life..I know, since having a major cancer operation in june, out of work 10 weeks, I have to have a positive attitude about the future, it gives one strength to go forward.
When someone asks me how I'm doing..I say.."If you see me above ground and vertical I'm doing fine!"
It's all about probability...the yes vote gives us much higher odds of success going forward..and life is all about the odds!
I wish all my fellow employees good luck in the future..do what you feel is right for you and your family..but don't jump-ship too early, there are a lot of sharks in the water.
