Sorry to hear it GE, I know you were pretty excited to be doing that work again and at that company to boot.  I feel for you man.  A man with your abilities though, something will come up again for you soon.

From the looks of the stock market going down again, we may be facing yet another rescission.  I hate when the rich and idiots f$#% up good, simple hardworking people's life.

delivering pizza .. umm . . I dont have a *car* and I doubt if I could borrow one to put that kinda miles on yanno? -grin-

2XL isn't a big company at all ..30 people tops .. all of us jam ..not a slacker in the bunch and very sharp.. we did SnoCross in 9 weeks from scratch to available for download.

I just don't know how many more 'opportunities' like this I can go through.
It's early yet .. still feelin pretty much screwed atm.

I told Robb if their upcoming deals go as well as they should and they need a 3d artist to give me a call ..I probably wont be back to work for awhile ..already sent out a few resume's to here an there and everywhere.

Even Canada ..where's my sweater?
