Sorry to have been away

Just catching up on the posts after having been away for nearly four months. This really is a great group, but I had some things to attend to. Lost my job and my apartment. It's not as horrible as it sounds, my old landlord decided to retire and sell his place. So, the new owner wants to put up an apartment building and bought me out of it. I must admit that I do like the businesslike way Los Angeles regulates renting. My former residence, New York City, was very difficult. At any rate, I got moved and my employer downsized my department by 20%. So if anyone knows of a largish company wanting a Director of Technology Support Services, or Technical training, etc., let me know. Quilting News: I'm starting something new and alternating sending out resumes. I'll talk about it more later. T

I was just wondering about you the other day, and how your King's Highway blocks were coming. Is that the right one?

Best of luck with the job search!

Hi Thomas:

Good luck on your job search. It isn't a good time to be in the IT field and be unemployed. I'm a software engineer/programmer and have been unemployed for almost four months now. I live in Santa Rosa, California. In the whole time I have been unemployed, there has only been one job I could actually apply for and I didn't get it.

I think we should start and "unemployed IT professionals" support group.

On the upside, I sure have been having fun quilting. It's so nice to be able to have several projects running at the same time and actually be making progress on them all.

Thomas, it's a tough time to be out of a job, I hope it turns into an opportunity. You know that cliché about doors closing and windows opening? Hope you can work it out quickly. Mardi, you too.

Anyone up for an "unemployed technology professional who wants a new field of work" group? DH and I will be there in a heartbeat. I have been the sales manager for a small software company and told my boss months ago that I'm not really a sales person. He put off thinking about it for a while but it's come up again and I've decided I really need to move on. He's looking, I'm looking... Sort of scary out there but I so desperately need to do something else with myself that I'm ready to risk it.
