I Just Got Laid Off 40 Minutes Ago!!!
NO JOKE!!!
My (now EX-)employer is TANKING faster than the Exxxxxon Valdez! T minus two-zero minutes until my last day as a full-time employee ends (and I become an on-the-clock con$ultant). GOD BLESS AMERICA. No worries, though. I'll be working (for Sony) on a huge Playstation 3 project (which I'm nondisclosed to discuss) for the next 3 years!!!! YESSSSSSS!!!! It's a personal RECORD for me: fired and hired within a 3 hour window!!!! WHEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! My apologies for this being in the wrong forum, but my time is LIMITED before I have to "go ahead...and... vacate" my cube ("hmmm-KAY")?! The following domains will be up/visible again NLT 1800 hours PDT MON 29SEP03, after DNS changes propagate across the Internet: nemonis.net nemonis.com 500Ecstasy.com W124-036.com Thank you and have a nice weekend / STAY EMPLOYED, |

arent you supposed to have a few days' notice or something?
I thought it was just an attention grabber, something like doc amg did with that "sick dad" bit. hope it doesn't put a crimp on your 500's R&D! |

so, just what are you doing for the Playstation 3 project? (I know, i know, you said you couldnt discuss it, but maybe just a few clues?)
Or is it "I could tell you, but then i'd havta shoot you. Or run you over with the 500." |

Bummer on losing your old job, but congrats on landing the new job right away!
At my old job, one of my co-workers got laid-off at noon, and by the end of the day had already received an offer at another company doing similar work. Hey, BTW, I still need to mail back to you the owner's manual for the Nakamichi head unit that your girlfriend has in her car (MB-70 ????). It is still at my installer's shop.

Allot of displaced IT people these days, with the fall of all the .dot com's, it has left the current market full of semi-qualified paper MCSE's that the rest of us have to deal with for opportunities.
Most IT jobs pull 300+ resumes, allot to sift through if your a hiring manager. Glad you picked up another position as the current down time (for laid off or terminated IT folks) is 12+ plus months to land a new position. |

Scotty, sounds like you bounced back like a 500E on Eibachs!
Man, I was just about to put a "care package" of more wasabi peas for you . . . |

thanks, everyone!
I appreciate the cameraderie; I am fine and I just wanted to let everyone know that all my websites/domains are all back online and 100% functional. I have relocated my webserver.
Thank you for your patience / have a nice weekend! |

I was a sysadmin in the mid-90's -- Only cert was a useless MCSE, it was all on the job experience/trial by fire. Well, like "run" those days abruptly ended 2 years ago but on my terms. Now I'm back in school looking at being a DPT (Doctor of Physical Therapy) in about 3.5 yrs. A non-trad'l student so-to-speak.
You'd be surprised how many ex-technology people are looking into the heathcare field! |

the goal
My ultimate goal is to make films/publish (Hasselblad) medium format photographs, MUCH SOONER than later.
All this hard-core Cisco and Microsoft $%^& is just a means to an end, believe me; it gets VERY old VERY quickly! |
