Either way, you got fucked.Have you thought of applying as a lab sup or something at a community or city college? You don't necessarily need grad degrees for that (I don't know if you have a grad degree or not) [ 10-10-2006: Message edited by: AcidWarp ] -------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.

Remember, baking soda, not baking powder.

haha.nah, the company I was at sucked. they had record sales in august, in september news hit that the owner was buying a chemical supply and handling company to distribute our stuff and handle the following waste management and liability at our customers' sites, and in october laid off almost 10% of our employees. On the news of the purchase, we were told that we'd lost several sales contact. But the contracts were all so small that they cost us to fill rather than bringing in profit. But somehow among the purchase of this other company (to which we're expected to undercut the competition in supplying our stuff to them to supply to the manufacturers that use it), we've entered into a budget crisis following the third record breaking sales months in the past year. hmm... anyway, it's a good thing. that place sucked. I've been meaning to apply to other places for months now anyway. now I just have to. (but I'm kicking myself because some of the better prospectsI've seen in the past few weeks are no longer listed) [ 10-10-2006: Message edited by: WillyTrombone ] -------------------- signature

That's why I considered chemistry for a while.-------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.
