If you go on the unemployment too soon, you might run out before you get a new job. Then what the hell would you do?

Shoelace. I received 6 weeks of severance... plus 4 weeks of "un-employee pay" to receive my tenure so that I would qualify for retirement/pension.



My severance ended 2/12/02, and I didn't qualify for unemployment until the severance was completely paid out. And, mid-February, I had a couple of good prospects, and waited to hear from them before I applied for unemployment. (I really didn't want to do it)

Speaking of Tattos.



There was a guy at the unemployment office that was in full "biker regailia". The studded leather vest, faded/worn bluejeans, studded leather belt. He had the look too. Heavily tattooed arms, the long hair, bushy beard, beer gut.



But, he had on a pair of brand new jogging shoes instead of the biker style boots.

i work for a consulting company in princeton. we do occasionally have need for flash development, though to date we've just sucked it up and done it ourselves (adequately at best). I would say the chances aren't great, but I'll certainly keep you in mind if it happens. One client in particular is more concerned with look and feel than content, at least for now.
