Sorry to hear that. Hope you will find another job soon.

I had the opposite problem. *I used proprietary homegrown software for
the longest
time that I became out of touch with other software out there.

Same here, Winnie. *I pretty much put myself out of the job market by
staying in one place working with proprietary software. *I have a working
knowledge of most Microsoft programs (Windows, Word, Excel, and I can get my
way around in Unix) but I can't exactly claim I'm an expert in any of them.
Does usenet count? LOL

I had to laugh. *I was looking up jobs in the area and there's a local
doctor's office that needs a receptionist. *Lord knows that's a job I can
certainly handle. *Then I read "3 years experience required". *I swear, I
read the same thing over and over again in help wanted ads 35 years ago.
Deja vu! *Back then I got so sick and tired of reading "experience required"
that after reading a similiar ad I typed a rather scathing cover letter. *I
mean really, what did I have to lose? *It said if you ever get tired of
waiting for someone with all that experience and just want someone who can
do the job give me a call. *No, I didn't get the receptionist job. *They
hired me to be the marketing secretary instead. LOL *I worked there for 8
years.

Several years after I retired, my own doctor asked me to work part-
time for
her as a receptionist. At the time, she didn't know I had some
experience
as I did work as a medical receptionist one summer when I was in
college.
Of course there were many many years ago.
But after not working for many years, I found
it a bit stressful.and started having some health issues. So I quit.
There
was a bus strike and so I couldn't get to work anyway. These days I am
glad I am not in the rat race anymore.

Agreed - sounds crazy to me, and it's certainly their loss! I hope you
find a place to work that deserves your talents ASAP.

So sorry Mark, hope you find another job soon where they don't expect you to
perform miracles!

I'm so sorry, Mark! That is just ridiculous. I hope you get another
job very soon. The job market is improving, if the sudden influx of
emails I'm getting is any indication. (I'm a techie too).

Rita's purring for you.

That's ridiculous!!! I *KNOW* how fast you learn! Phooey and bad on them -
they don't know what a gem they lost with their short-sightedness!

Mark, very sorry to read this. With their kind of attitude, you're
better off finding something else, even though I understand how tight
the job market is right now. Purrs for the right job to be found soon.
