I'm sorry to hear you lost your job. Perhaps, if nothing else works out and given your excellent knowledge of "Millionaire", you could become a professional PAF or game show consultant. :) Good luck on your quest!

Oh man...Sorry, Bob. All you can do is try and turn this negative into a positive. Your employer's loss is your gain.

Take care,
James

I'm getting five months' severence pay, not quite as good as I expected.

I may be changing careers or even retire, but if you know anyone who works with IBM mainframes, tell them you know of an expert who's looking for a job. I specialize in MQSeries and CICS.
I was under the impression that you were a consultant and worked for yourself.

Hope you find something you love to do.

Not for the last six years. I may be again, but even than the jobs are scarce. I've been submitted to four places that are considering me.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
