Well, it's official

[sharan]

They're out of money on my contract and I'm officially out of work as of Wednesday. So anyone need any part time contract game programmers/web developers in the Los Angeles area?:)

Well, something will turn up and I guess there's always unemployment for now (which I haven't had to apply for since 2001 and I think they raised the amount since then). I guess I'll be bringing those numbers up this month. But I was on it for maybe a month last time and I doubt if I'll be on it long this time either.

Not to be scary, but Nic's been out of work since last April. If you can get something fast, grab it. This economy and job market are nightmares and the presumptive two nominees will make it worse.

That sucks about Nic:(. That is a long time to be out of work!

Yeah, the economy is in lousy shape right now and has been for a while (it's just finally gotten so bad they can't cover it up or ignore it anymore). The fact that I can only work part time doesn't help, either, but at least in a few weeks the semester's over and I'll be able to work almost full time for the summer, so that should help! At least the game industry seems to be doing well, if the career pavilion at GDC was any example. I just hope my roommate's company gets a contract in soon so I can go back to work for him. But I can't really afford to just wait for that, so I'll definitely be looking for something.

At least I've had good luck with jobs ever since I moved out here, so I'm hoping that will keep up!
