Looks like it's time for a change.

I was laid off today.

Perhaps it's time to steer away from help desk-related positions, but I can't afford that limitation right now. If anyone knows of any openings in the Dallas TX area, throw em at me. Not choosy at the moment, other than the fact that I need at least $40k/yr.

Apologies for being off-topic.

Damn man. Sorry to hear that. You have my condolences for the sudden recovery.

There's an AT&T tech support callcenter in Dallas that I often end up talking to... they're our main contacts for AT&T side issues. They're pretty much always hiring from what I hear. I don't have any details, but I thought I'd throw it out.

Radiant Systems is hiring, it's in that piece of Fort Worth north of Grand Prairie that connects to the airport. Verizon and Sprint have been hiring recently too. If you get horribly desperate Telvista is always hiring, but they should be a last resort.

I see no problems with this post and it's on/off-topic status.

And you have my condolences. One can only hope you are getting unemployment while you are looking. (I did not, and I'm still salty about that.)

wait.. you were laid off... and couldn't collect unemployment?

Naw, I got fired.

Now, the last time I got fired, they paid up because the employer apparently didnt' document the reasons why well enough.

This time around, I didn't get jack squat because it was apaprently my fault that my lusers were such dickheads to push the hot button of "we are going to submit replacement computer requests twice daily until we get something", even theough my boss stated to the company at large that we'd be dictating when stuff was going to be replaced. Voices were raised, and apparently that was agressive enough that I got canned.

This place is a helluva lot easier on my nerves. No. One. Yells. At. Me. ::giggles liek a schoolgirl:: The department directors actually mingle and chat and party with the minons on a routine basis.

Just that fact causes my paranoia streak to get up and go willd, but I'm learning to bludgeon it with various and sundry LARTS. :)

Ouch, welcome to the unemployment club! Chin up and good luck!
