My summer of unemployment - fishing videos

Back in May, my employer of 24 years separated my employment from them. I loved the company and worked my butt off and did a good job for them, but I got a supervisor that really just had it out for me. He’d put memo notes on my files at 12:30am and at 5:30am and expected replies to them almost immediately. But while my mother was sick and during her funeral back in March, my performance slipped below expectations and the company used that excused to let me go.

My good friend Kevin Renno who runs Sharkin Charleston heard about my job plight and he called me up and the conversation went something like this:

K - What are you doing?
M - Watching The Price is Right with Drew Cary…they just gave away a car.
K - Awesome. You wanna hang out on the boat on a charter?
M - Yeah…sure.
K - Bring your camera and your GoPro…you can make some movies or something.
M - Sure…what time.

So I got to hang out with Kevin, watching his charters fish, I got to pull anchors, tie rigs, sometimes drink a beer or 2 and eat fried chicken.

Being unemployed has been a terrible gut kick, but my wife has been great, my kids have had to sacrifice and they’ve done it without much complaint. Kevin gave me the uplifting I needed and for that I thank him.

I’ve not asked for permission to post these and I don’t do this to spam CF…I just thought you guys might want to watch some people having fun and to watch some fun videos.

I hope you enjoy.

Thanks. I’ve had several really good interviews…but none have gotten me a paycheck. That bites worse than sharks.
