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.

First of all good luck was outta work 5 months and it drove me crazy... Second... Which college? My guess would be PC? They didnt seem all that great when i went there.

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.

Look at it this way. You get unemployment.
Wanna trade? LOL

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?

God bless you and your family. Good luck during these times. :salute

Crap.
I've heard too many stories like this from good people over the last year.
I know its a major pain in the arse and a distruption to you life, but you've been here before and it wasn't the end of the world last time either.
A guy with your skills and talent will eventually find good, challenging and rewarding work. Even if you had to coast for a while in some intermediate jobs to get from here to there.
Regards and Best Wishes,

Try the local Census office, they'll be gearing up for a big hiring push within the next week or two. Granted it is just a temporary job (a few months) but it is simple work for decent pay; I sit in an office and do data entry for almost $20/hr eight hours a day with no weekend work. Could help keep you in food and under a roof for a bit until you find a position in your line of work.

You can find work in Massachussets or Texas grading MCAS's and TCAS's (I call the first one the Massachusetts Comprehensive Abuse System). You do it over the summer and it gives a roof over your head. Try working for your local town, that's how my dad learned about goverment and survived his early years.
Keep trying Eagle, you'll find a new nest! :aok
