    Why, don't you fit in the box? Now, seriously, can't you move to this other city?

      Sorry to hear it. Now you have new opportunity. You can find another j.o.b. (just over broke), become a contractor, or start your own business. Figure out what you want to do and get active.

              Now, come on, I'm pretty sure that you'll find a job like the previous one, soon. Just take it easy. Although there are worse things than queuing burgers... like programming in VB6.

                    Well I believe it's because right now there are 2 headquarters and they are trying to make it into 1 headquarters. And since the other "headquarters" involved all of the vp's and ceo's...you get the idea ;)

                          Fair enough. I can understand why it would be harder for you to be optimistic than for people to give you an optimistic reply, but, unless there's just no work in your area, if you're good at what you do, I'm sure you'll find something soon enough. I'd start looking now, not when your current job ends.

                              Just remember that you were looking for a job when you found that one so nothing has changed except some time went by.

                                  Try to think of it as a new beginning. Scary, I know. I was informed recently that my department will cease to exist on December 31, 2007. Being outsourced to a huge corporation. I'm 55 and, like you, do not look forward to being unemployed. The only way I can get thru the days now is to tell myself I'll find something better. I still got a 15 year old kid at home so it's not like I can go back to a spaghetti and bean diet. The thing that really upsets me is supposedly this is being done to put more money in my bosses (doctors) pockets. It's not like they are gaining a great deal. Altogether about a dozen people are affected. Good luck to both of us and hang in there. Roy
