Message:: [QUOTE="jpmcclu, post: 384468, member: 14722"]You should make that "Spock IS the best". Present tense kind sir! A quick history. I was with IBM for 14 years. Laid off in their 'first ever layoff' in '93. Was back as a consultant for 1 year and then hired on to Merrill Lynch for almost 7 years. Then, yep, you guessed it, laid off in '00. Was back as a consultant and then 9/11 hit everyone. I got laid off again that December and did not work 'full time' for almost a year. That is when I 'found' eBay and sold a good portion of my collection. Then I was back as a consultant for IBM working on a Merrill Lynch project! Ironic, eh? And that lasted 3 plus years. Then my wife convinced me to get out of the IT/Tech Support field and I've been in the medical field ever since. The moral of this story, as I know you saw one coming, is that, like folks have said here before me, you pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and find somethin' to climb right back onto. And it sounds like some super decent people in here are willing to lend help in any way they can. Please be sure to lean on them (and me) if you ever feel like the road you are travelling on just don't feel right! Take care 'Spock' and may the Force be with you...erm, no, uhm, Beam me up Scotty....erm, no....uhm...damn the torpedoes and full speed away! Well, I hope you get my drift......[/QUOTE]
