    The company I worked at for the past 14 years has just shut their doors today. :(( Now to polish the resume and start looking for another job. What a shame though, I really loved the job. We had a great bunch of guys in our group.

    :( Methinks there'll be a lot more in the same boat within a twelvemonth.

    If I knew then what I know today, then I'd know the same now as I did then - then what would be the point? .\\axxx (That's an 'M')

              How do you feel about Sioux City, Iowa? I had a developer quit today w/o notice...if you know ADP and ADP reporting it's a short stint paying well.

              Blog link to be reinstated at a later date.

                14 years wow, are you in for a shock, deciding on contract or permanent, agencies, consultants, interviews, dust off the old suit, sharpen up those interview techniques. Mate, you have my sincere sympathies and I hope something comes good quickly.

                  Sorry to hear that. How's the market where you are ? How does the skillset of the last 14 years match your market ? I hope it works out for you.

                    Well, as far as the market goes, a few of my other co-workers that got laid off back in October are still looking. :sigh: The unemployment rate here in the Boise, Idaho area is just below 6% which is more than double what it was last year at this time according to the local news reports. I have always been the one in our group to try and learn the new technologies so I should have a fair chance in the market. Course, my coworkers always said I know more than I think I do (they're just being kind...)

                      I don't think those words will quite do it justice. As for the kind of work, I would just like to continue programming and / or creating databases. The last time I had on a suit was for a dinner event for my brother back sometime in 2001/2002.

                              I've got a job that doesn't suit me very well… but I don't complain because it's hard to get another. Good luck to you.

                              So the creationist says: Everything must have a designer. God designed everything. I say: Why is God the only exception? Why not make the "designs" (like man) exceptions and make God a creation of man?
