Update on my job situation.

I got caught in a corporate downsizing due to the pressure of investors who want the company to move out of New York State because of the high business taxes. According to Wall Street, the only way they could keep control of the board and to keep it here was to cut 25% of the workforce by the end of the year. Basically, everyone with less than 2 years there got downsized -- which means that I missed staying on by two weeks! In any event, I've already been through a few introductory interviews with several companies. It looks like I am worth an awful lot on the open market. Indeed, one company's pay scale for a position I have been recommend for STARTS at my last salary. Another starts at $10K more. So it could be another case of me "falling upward." (i.e., I get let go from a job to find that I could have already been doing a lot better financially with a better corporate and personal fit - and that has happened to me every time I got downsized!)
