In my last post, I eluded to the fact that I have gone back to work.  When I was laid off from Centercode, my boss told me that he hoped that finances would allow them to hire me back before I found a new job.  I told him that I had six months worth of unemployment so the company had six months to get me hired back on.  He told me that it was more likely that I’d find a new job before he could bring me back which is exactly what...
