Unemployed

This story's all over the place today: Slashdot,The Register and CNet (below).

But whatever the source, the story is all too true. In fact, despite the cited survey's claim that 2003's losses in tech employment are less than the previous years, I can only take very cold comfort in that fact.

I was laid off yesterday morning.

Anybody needing a digital audio/telephony software engineer should be advised to check my resume. Hopefully I'll be able to secure enough contract work (or sell enough websites/mail addresses via Raven Banner Hosting) to stay afloat until I can start turning some money over from the farm.

Hopefully ....

Report: U.S. lost half million tech jobs in 2002. New research indicates that some 540,000 high-tech jobs were lost in the United States last year. But the research suggests the unemployment trend has slowed in 2003. [CNET News.com - Front Door]
