Default I lost my job too

I work for a Direct mail company as a programmer. The company closed today, and I am sitting at home. Wednesday I am off to London for a week. Job hunting will have to wait till then. Everything happens for the better.

Sorry to hear about that. Just saw in the paper today that 31,000 tech jobs are being slashed worldwide.

Good luck in your search for a new job.

Cartaret is exit 12 on njtp.
That's 1 exit south of Newark.
I'm surprised that you didn't know your neighboring town!!!
