I've been bouncing from job to job since Novemeber when Sage software started bining people. I'm making half what I did last year. Sucks!

Look at it as an opportunity if you can. New job on the horizon, some new friends at work. Different commute. Change is good but only if you are out of work a short time.

Start looking now!

Thanks everyone!
Yeah thats how I'm looking at it now, something new, but I really want to stay in something to do engines, but I dont have any paper work to show what I can do.
So I'm up the smelly river with no paddle on that one.
