I don't really have date preference. Not too early (Like not next weekend) or too late (Like last year). Robert invited me to run Rubicon with him since this trip is likely going to shit it sounds like. If you wanna run Rubicon again, I can ask Robert if they care if someone else tags along.
Fuck that sucks man. Maybe let it blow over and let his hot head cool down a bit. Sounds like this isn't the first time this type of situation as arose. Let it settle, and let his emotions pass. Then get your job back.
I've already done the Rubi this year and would rather get on Dusy but I'm up for whatever. Let's just make a plan. Anyone think @Hank will actually commit even if we let him pick the dates? lol
As far as the sudden lack of employment goes it's a good thing. I was frustrated with my employer and his crew. I got terminated for the first time in my life. Instead of the sudden rush of stress you would expect it was the exact opposite. I felt like all my issues went away in a second. I left with my chin up and no bad blood but I also didn't ask him to reconsider at all. I won't be going back when he calls me in a week or two. That bridge is burnt.
I've also got a kitchen remodel coming up. Cabinets should be here the 2nd orr 3rd week of August. This leaves me time to do it without having to put in time after work. It's summer and I plan on getting into the alpine a lot. My wife is totally supportive of me taking a few months off so that's what I plan on doing.
