Well, my project at IBM just got axed today. We have 30 days to find a
new job within IBM and a decent severance package after that. I still
plan on attending BricksWest and local events in the next few weeks (I
think I will be coming up to Richmond this weekend - I need to pace
myself with some fun). I have a very promising job lead in San Jose with
the IBM Almaden Research Center with the manager I worked with when I
went out there just over a year ago. While that job would likely cut
back on my LEGO spending, I think I will enjoy the area with plenty of
activity in my two most important communities (LEGO and church). The bad
news is that there aren't many IBM opportunities locally and a lot of
folks competing for them.

   Oh, man, Frank, I'm really sorry to hear this.  Is this the project
   you've been working like a man possessed on for the last God-knows-
   how-long?  And it's just axed like that?  That totally and completely
   sucks rocks.

   If I had any leads, I'd happily circulate your resume around, but
   alas I'm but a grad student...

   I for one would tell you to come to the mid-Atlantic or New England,
   but I know as well as you that there are much nicer places to be for
   those certain three months of the year (even if I wouldn't agree,
   being a snow-lover myself).  So if San Jose it is, then San Jose it
   is.  (But who will play the Pirate Game...?)

   Anyways, good luck, and hang in there.  (I'll send your stuff ASAP)

   best
