Finally, after 1 year of sitting around doing nothing, I get a job. That means I have money to spend on toys. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

I do computer support (basically, I fix problems that programmers don't have the time/patience to fix). I was laid off from my job of 10 years last October, and really lucked out and got a new job in a month, though I'm a temp and I took a 30% pay cut (too bad my mortgage didn't drop 30% too), and don't have benefits, I'm getting by, barely.
The thing that sucks is that I still consider myself unemployed, because the compensation is barely subsistence compared to what I was making. But I don't count in the unemployment statistics. I wonder how many other people are in this situation. It's really bad out there - but it looks "not so bad" on paper. So if anyone knows of a position for WinNT/2k, Solaris, AIX, Linux, Macintosh admin with experience in Oracle, and Backup Software, email me. Heh, I run into other technies in town. Inevitably, I start to feel them out as to whether their companies are hiring, and I hit them up for a job. And they end up hitting me up for work. Now that's bad. . . |
