Nate,

As we've discussed, I know very little about the labor laws in Texas. Now I know Texas is a right to work state, meaning they can really let you go for any reason. Now how they let you go depends on if you'll get unemployment benefits or not and a lot of that may depend on your employee handbook which is really like a contract. If TX is anything like Idaho, and I think they are similar, then you'll have no issues getting your benefits.

Now, my thoughts on what you should do. Hopefully you've realized that life is short and every breath you take is a blessing...as the Japanese say, "life in every breath". To me this means do what you want in life while you can as your not gauranteed your next breath.

This thinking set me free. I no longer wanted to work for someone elses dream, which is why I started my own business. I wanted to help people, I wanted to make a difference...I wanted my life to mean something while at the same time building a foundation for my children's lives. I'm on that road now.

It reminds me of a quote from Jim Rohn "If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much."

While you can, carve out the life you want Nate, you've faced death already what else is there to fear? Whatever you do, remember life's just too damn short to do something or be somewhere that doesn't make you happy.

Good luck brother.

Eric
