I made it through the first few phases of layoffs and was assured my job was safe. But... Today was a major layoff and I was included.

Bad timing for my 914 project. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it. Was just putting my 2.0 engine on the market to start the v8 conversion, but now I'm probably going to need to unload everything. Sigh.

So now I'm scrambling to build my part time business into full time, or find another job. If anyone knows of a need for a web site developer or IT manager with a lot of experience and a hardcore work ethic, I would appreciate any leads.
