I got my pink slip in August, but rather than waiting out my time for
my 2 weeks of severance, I found a new job almost immediately.  At the
end of my fourth week at the new job, I was given the pink slip again
and half of my department was shown out the door on Oct 17.  Anybody
need a linux saavy help desk guy with tons of experience?


Best Regards,
Jason
