Dotcom refugee

Well this sucks. I'm a dot com layoff now. The recession (yes, President (despite the fact that the country didn't really elect you) George W. Bush, we're heading into one) doesn't help, nor does the events of 9/11/01. It was good ride, but now I have to move on - a wife, two kids and a third on the way don't allow me time to be pissed or dwell on this. I will move on, I will find another job, and I'll get on with my life. No choice about it. No regrets either - it was a good place to work, and I think I'd actually go back there again if I had a chance. More thoughts [here]. [poll]
