Redundant

[bunsen_h]

Because of the economic downturn, my employer has been cutting back on some things.

One of the things they just cut back on was me.

I wasn't expecting it at all; I was expecting them to do wage rollbacks, work-sharing, reduced work weeks, that kind of thing.  Apparently they're going to be doing that stuff as well, but they're also letting people go, a significant fraction of the employees, and evidently not just the newest ones.  I guess they had to find that difficult balance between "the experience to know how the accumulated kludgery works" and "the higher salaries" or something.

So: I'm looking for work.  Ideally computational chemistry, but I have a varied background in lab chemistry and theoretical chem, plus plenty of years of software work.  I'd appreciate any leads.  Networking is not one of my strengths.

Crap.

Thanks.

I've been keeping my resume up to date all along, since I've occasionally checked out potential chemistry-related jobs over the years. All I need to do now is change the "-- Present" to "-- June 2, 2009" on the description of this job.

If being an itinerant sound guy provides you with enough security for your comfort, along with job satisfaction, that's all one can really ask for.
