Damn.... missed this thread.

I'm out of job :(
Company is keeping a skeleton crew due to a lack of financing, so basically I was laid off. I have no worries yet, got an interview Monday and two other leads. In my field, change is part of the job and good for my career. BTW, I'm an engineer and not one of them touchy and feely environmental types :p

Keep your chin up !! Focus on WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL and stay positive .

YOU obviously have skills and a positive attitude ------ you've weathered the storm that occurred earlier .
Good luck !!!!!!!!

+1 and if that doesn't work, find a Trader Joes that stocks the $3 wine and buy a case.

Thanks for the positive vibes... unfortunately as of about 10:00AM... I'm unemployed.

If you know anyone looking for an IT guy somewhere between Boston, MA and Manchester, NH... feel free to point them in my direction.

I'll probably go hit Wa for the day tomorrow, because why not... after that, we'll see.

Worst part for me was that I just took care of the whole network for a month while my boss was on vacation... No problems and nothing I couldn't handle... they kept him and got rid of me... If it were my company, I would have gotten rid of the guy that makes 3x more... but I guess they know better.

Sorry to hear that. Let's hope your next chapter is bigger and better than the last one.
When I was let go, it was the kick in the butt I needed. Unfortunately, this comes at a real bad time. You should check out Sanders/BAE in Nashua if you don't mind DOD work.

Sorry to hear about the layoff. The good news is that this is an opportunity for an even better position. It sounds like you were pretty unhappy where you were; now you have a good reason to find a better job. Best wishes on your search!
