Endings and beginnings

Sorry to hear you will be out of work soon--But when one door closes another one opens--good luck with your job hunting

and because you were working, you probably don't have up to date certification. What are the chances of negotiating upgrading as part of your severance package? Hopefully, after 6 1/2 years you get one, don't you?

All the best.

Thanks, but after being in the industry 20 years, Certifications do not matter as much, though they are nice, I have always proven myself more than a piece of paper.

Good Luck Mark! If you need something part-time to cover health care, Home Depot and Starbucks might still offer beni's to part-time employees. I know a lot of layed-off IT folks went to work there during the late 90's while looking for new jobs.

Well, as you may suppose I do have a severance package, but they are also adding 6 months of COBRA, so that is fine right now. Also, before I went into computers, I was in Hotel/Restaurant Management, and have worked as a waiter during slow times, and IF I need to, I will again.

Thanks David, Much of my sorrow is knowing that another icon of the early recording/TV industry such as this building, will be developed into condos, and forgotten.

Jobs are always there for those who want to work, you just have to decide to do it!

Update: The Studio looks as though it is being pillaged, all the equipment is getting torn apart and packed up to be sold. The computers I am supporting are being inventoried to see if they can be used elsewhere.

Many of the Video editors have a job already at another studio, as do some of the audio editors.

I have an interview this week (Thursday) with a publisher in NYC, so at least there is something moving at least.
(Though I'm sorry Panache, they do not publish fiction. )

The Interview went well, The company is Oxford University Press (stop salivating Todd).

One of the requirements would be fairly regular trips to Cary, NC. I could deal with that.

This might be a good change, so I hope this "49er" (will be in Aug) did an adequate job on the interview.

Thanks for all your encouragement!

I tend to like the style of publishing they do too!

I found some interesting titles as I waited for my interview! (they have a nice "library" in their lobby)
