[ale] Can anyone help out a fellow ale'r???

[James S. Cochrane]

You aren't the only one.  I've got six years Unix SA experience and have 
been out of work for a month...  Only thing I can recommend is start 
hitting up recruiters and watching the various job websites (Dice.com, 
Monster, etc).  Oh, and hurry up and file for unemployment, they'll only 
pay for the time you've been out of work after filing, nothing retroactive 
to when you lost your job.
