Survival...

[tnrkitect]

Today has been a rough day so far.

The architectural firm I worked for laid off 25 people. Those of us that are left took a 10% pay cut.

If the business environment doesn't turn around by June... well, who knows what will happen to the firm.

I hate the relieved yet guilty feeling of being among those who made it through.

I am thankful though.

i expect you'd need to be somewhat local. we seem to like meeting with people in person.

drop me a note at work sometime the week after the one coming up (i'll need to recover a smidge, and empty my mailbox, and you might get lost in the shuffle otherwise) and i'll send you our qualifications questionnaire. doesn't mean your firm will hear from us, but it's at least a start.

Fair enough. Have a great time at Arisia, and let fabricdragon know that I survived another round of cuts. She'll be set up on Merchants Row as usual.
