    Yep its true. I lost my job today 9-11-02. Kinda ironic I guess. Anyone need a hard working employee in Austin? I will work for cheap cheap cheap...... My company was nice enough to give me a 2 month severence package, but it still doesnt change the fact that I have to find a job now.... FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU**********KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!

    :(

    I know the feeling dude. I was laid off on 4/10/2002...and I'm still looking. It's starting to drive my wife up the wall. :)

    Good luck in your search.

    Welcome to the club. I was laid off on 2/8/2002... and like Refman, still searching... I don't have a wife, but I'm sure my TV is getting tired of being powered on 24 hours a day.

    Sort of like Ross's hypothetical "Divorced Man's Club" on Friends? He said it would have a basketball court for them to play on. I wouldn't mind something like that!

    I think our motto should be to keep us kids off the couch! or maybe off the computer! at least in my case it should be! :D

    Mrs. JB... like Augusta, we're not taking any "new members" at the moment. ;)

    Dang is finding a job really that hard right now. My girlfriend just took a job like two months ago. They are paying her absolutely crap, but its better then nothing I guess.

    Good luck to all you guys. :(

    You are married to one of the admins...ummm...yeah you're in. Without this BBS my unemployment would be unbearable...I'm not gonna tempt fate by not allowing an admin's wife into our club. :D

    I must add that while at A&M I played tournament air hockey. heh heh heh :cool:

    Well it looks like Mrs. JB's shortlived boycott of the air hockey sponsors worked... Welcome aboard ma'am! :D

    I think my problem is that I'm a specialized professional. There aren't that many jobs for a relatively unexperienced lawyer right now. I am starting to see more postings that I qualify for...so things may be looking up. :)

    I haven't lost a job recently, but I graduated in May and still haven't found a permanent position. The market is slow flooded with newly laid off workers, no one is looking for young new-grads who don't have any experience when they can pay a guy with 5 years experience just as much as they would pay me. :(
