Thanks guys. I hope you're right and this turns out to be for the best. It's just that now I have to seek out another job in the I.T. field which I'm trying to get out of. I am trying to get a job in a field I'm ultimately trying to escape from. I just want to open up my hot dog cart. I live in L.A. not Vegas. I grew up in Vegas. The casinos mainly use mainframes, and I'm mostly a distributed computer man. (LANS, WANS, MANS, etc)
Australia sounds great, and while I would love to go there at least until Bush is gone, but that would be even more expensive and difficult. I think it's cheaper to live in Australia, but it's expensive to get there, and find a place to live and work. Even if I had that kind of money, the immigration laws down under are very strict.
I think the initial shock is starting to wear off. It was like I was dreaming, and now the reality that I'm unemployed is smacking me in the face.
