Keeping me employed so far but we cannot cut back much more or they will need to cut me. Gonna try and get out on my own terms. But I spend more time playing on the internet than I do working. Really boring.

If he's like me, no work. I've been off since 8/1...and still looking for work. Life of an engineer stinks some days.

I am not sure if the North Star falls under what this job covers. Hopefully I will get an interview and find out more.

Edit: Engineers around here are getting laid off left and right.

Well, good luck is all I can say. I thought my seniority was going to protect me through this...guess not. Worse part is I can't get anyone to at least give me a secound look when they've advertised they're looking. I haven't given up, but things aren't looking great right now.

That's good advice. I do the same, for the most part, when I'm on the elliptical.

Breck??? It has some decent runs but they groom EVERYTHING... UGH! Fresh powder? GROOM IT. WTF??!!! Groom your dog, but LEAVE THE POWDER ALONE!!! I like Keystone better, but Vail... my first time riding there, it had dropped 14" of fresh... China Bowl was just flat out, bomb-the-run, and if/when you bit... POOF!! No pain!!! REPEAT!! I'll be back in CO for next season for sure (hopefully some of this one too!) and once I'm there, you might just have to come for a visit!

g'mornin' y'all!!
