Dude, where’s my job?
I found out recently that I will be available for exciting, new job opportunities at the start of next month. It’s not my fault, honestly. These things happen. In this case, things happen to me and 22 of my co-workers.
Company President and CEO Brian Jones said Wednesday that the layoffs would be necessary if the Defense Information Systems Agency follows through with a plan to reduce the amount of a software development contract with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
…
ORNL spokesman Billy Stair said the contract’s annual appropriation has varied. The agency is considering reducing the amount from about $12 million to about $7 million, he said.
There you have it kids. That’s seven meeellion dollars that used to pay my bills, and it’s going bye bye. Such is life.
I’ve had a good run with DPRA. If you recall, I was very happy to come on board, and I have no regrets. I am, however, ready to start my next geeky adventure.
If you, or someone you know, is looking for a first class geek for hire, I may be your man. Have a look at my resume. Download copies and share them with friends. 
Cheers,

Alan,
Sorry to hear about the loss of the job, especially just prior to Xmas. However, I’m sure that you won’t be in the land of the unemployed for long with your track record.
Meanwhile, have a good christmas – and don’t drink too little!
Regards

Yikes! May the force be with you! I’m sure the best is yet to come and that DPRA will just be a bump in the road you will get past soon. Ever think about a training career for New Horizons?
By all accounts your presentation at FoxForward was masterful. I was supposed to be there but had to cancel due to …errrr….national security issues. I am positive that you’ll end up on your feet.

I know that @cwoodruff and @RossCode have probably already bugged you about it, but keep NuSoft in mind!
