well, after rounds and rounds of layoffs in the last 12 years at Motorola, it was my time.  So if you live in GA and need some help, let me know.  IT work preferred, but I will sweep floors if needed.  

After digesting had a bit, I had a good run.

Oh Tim, I' so sorry to hear about the lay off! Well, you'll have more time to finish the playhouse for your kids! :). Hope good opportunities open up to you!

Thanks Smooth, I am trying to put a good attitude on it.

hey, man, i'm sorry to hear that.

i know it's a bit of a stretch, but there have been quite a few IT jobs opening up here around huntsville (quite a few on redstone arsenal, and others off the arsenal)

good luck, tim; keep us posted...

That bites. Hopefully this will just be the opening of a new door for an even better job. Good luck.

Tim - I was afraid they got you. (I could kind of tell by Kris and Chrys's FB posts, but wasn't sure). I'm sorry to hear it. I'm sure you'll find something quickly - you are driven!

Hey Marc - yeah most of my team got cut. At least it wasn't just me. Thanks, I'll be giving it big try to get back out there.
