All good things must come to an end.  Continental Can was being closed and the pieces were being sold.  After a couple of false starts, our group was eventually sold to Ball Corporation.  After a few months, it was decided that the group would be moved to Muncie, IN.

I was given the option to move to Muncie or be laid off.  I have been to Muncie, I chose the layoff.  In the meantime, I was to help with the designs to move all the equipment to Muncie.

I was determined to get the layoff money and my end date was not set.  Of course, I was interviewing for a new job.  I had 3 jobs on the line, and  lost one by the time my layoff date came.  Even with 2 to choose from, I REALLY picked the wrong one.
