Since my last programming job ended I've been driving a truck. Not a bad gig overall, other than getting paid so little that I'm going broke So now I know where out cat litter comes from! Dan Dan, I feel for ya. It's amazing how in this high tech world, us techie's can't seem to find jobs. I haven't been out of work all that long, and I've had help from my long lost love being paid for working his art shows. But I know, one of these days, I'll be working in a diner saying "Hi, my name is Jill, would you like some coffee before you order?" Best of luck to you. Like others here, it never occurred to me where kitty litter came from. Jill |

Purrs for that to pick up. Must be able to keep the kitties in the luxury
they have grown used to! Are you looking for another job? Yep. Have been since February. Just not a good time to be a programmer or system administrator. Where the LA Times used to have 4 or 5 pages of "Help Wanted" ads under the "Computer" category, nowadays they're lucky to 4 or 5 ads. And each one will probably get 1000 people applying for it. |

Annie That's a good suggestion. I am also a computer programmer, and have been working part-time since February due to my employer's decision to stop seeking outside programming contracts. The only work has been for internal use. I have been drawing partial unemployment benefits, but they will run out in another couple of months. I have 18 years experience, and have applied for numerous jobs, but haven't received any job offers. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 7.0.3 for non-commercial use http://www.pgp.com iQA/AwUBQNEYsjMYPge5L34aEQKA3QCeJaEOT94S2bGXOXkbYyZwf5 RgZcUAoMrg 7jOoES7+fdzY45sujWA1BxSz =B/r9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- John F.
