Well - this Wednesday marks not only my wife's birthday (her last one ever from what I understand - she'll be 29

) - but also the date of my unemployment. My contract with Intel expires on that day. Due to budgetary constraints (i.e.: their budget is in the toilet) they were unable to extend my contract further or hire me.
Not to worry - I have a few options in the wings, but if anyone has some good sources of employment or business contacts - I would appreciate it.
This will also give me a little time (not too much hopefully

) to do some early morning hiking - so if anyone goes out regularly during the week - I may be willing to grace you with my cheery presence.
Anyone except Hoolie.
No soup (chili) for you!!!
By the way: I am an instructional designer/courseware developer and trainer. I specialize in web based training.
