Well, I just got downsized. I suppose I should be happy that they didn't wait until my actual birthday to tell me.

I feel for ya' buddy. 2009: After moving into a new house with a new mortgage, then losing my dad; we had a third round of cuts (electrical engineering) and I forgot to duck. Eight months out of work. Wow, the stimulus really helped.
Even lost my log-in on this site and had to start over. Finally got on to a firm with guys that had I started my career back in 1987 (architecture). It is a year today. Still part time. But it is better than nothing.
Hang in there. I'm with you.

2012, when that twelve-year-old is out of the Whitehouse.

Hi all,

It was eight months ago, Leo. I just got in the way of the spending cut cleaver.

But you were the guy who got every5thing organized and without who, after they tired, they saw they would be almost impossible to manage things... [:(]

This really sucks... [:(]

But maybe they will see you as indispensable for the 2nd time (and then you should ask for better salary)!

I'll die before I put on that uniform again. If that were to happen, my reply would be unrepeatable in polite company.

Hi all,

Darn... darn... darn... [:(][:@]

After 3 weeks of waiting I finally got my SSD and HP cable and HP mounting bracket.

Since my 17" laptop has 2 drive bays (originally there is 1 TB 2.5" HDD inside) I wanted to put SSD in (for OS and all programs) and leave only data on HDD.

Unfortunately they send me the "Primary cable" instead of "Secondary cable" and I can't use 2nd drive bay... argh... [:(][:@]

Sounds good, Nik! You're getting experience....that will help loads for the future.

[Grollub]

Thanks for the update and best wishes for your continuing experience gaining and job hunting, Nik! Good to see you here again! [:)]

[Schanilec]

It'll pick up eventually. Like you Nik I'm part time. This week though I'll get 40 hours. Had a couple Air Force projects pop up. Grand Forks AFB and Cavalier AFS. For a while I was lucky to get 20 hours. A couple of weeks less than twelve. Could have made more on unemployment. I just couldn't do that again and hung in there. No Benies or vacation. But I'm doing what enjoy best. Great friends and co-workers; and a labrador at home doesn't hurt either.
