Well, almost exactly 2 months after losing my job, I have managed to land another one...
-same industry, with a good crew of people, interesting work that seems as though it will even have an immediate sense of fulfillment to it. 25% cut in pay (ouch!) but that beats 100% cut, and I'll have normal-people hours... Mon-Fri, 0800-1700, with the occasional weekend stint needed when things go pearshaped.
Despite all this I seem to be in a funk. Been downright ornery for the last two weeks since I got the offer letter and accepted it. :shrug:
Good to be back to work. Pay cut's gonna suck though...
The Glider - a Universal Hacker Symbol
About Me
- JAFO
- Basically I'm a 4-wheeling, zen philosophizing, modern sort of computer geek with bits of me stuck in the Old Ways... very much a collection of contradictions. Browncoat (not brownshirt), Ex-soldier, ex-Liberal, ex-Democrat, ex-Republican, ex-anti-gunner. Some might say I can't stick to anything- I prefer to think that I've adapted my beliefs as new data has become available, the way all smart folks do. And me.

"but that beats 100% cut"
Been there, done that, brother. I'm glad to hear that you've found work. I'm sorry to hear about the reduced income. Does this mean that you will start blogging again? I'm also sorry to hear about the funk. If you get funky, it might help your motivation. :-)
--Michael
I hope it's working out for you. Keep us informed. You have a, perhaps quiet, but supportive band of folks out here that wish you the best.
OK I soooo have to startt updating more.
Have acquired a few new weapons- and there's always opinion pieces (Like you guys want to read my rantings ;P )...
