Shyandquietguy Welp, now you're in a fixin' Max! I told you that cohmehday thang is just fer daydreamers and high school dropouts. Now git yerself a delivery jab to start yourself out right before you start starvin', don' wanna git yerself too depressed before ya do yerself in in regrets. Now Ma told me somethin too, but I can't remember too well, somethin' about suckin' it up. Wait, is she sayin' ta' do what them homos do? Them crack homos? Well don't listen to yer Mother she's always been a bit daft like that but someone has ta take care of 'er but at least she didn't do yer raisin, I tell ya' what. Girls for girls and boys for boys I always say. What the heck you gawkin' at? In the Good Lord's name git out of here and quit makin' those funny faces at me, hope you never wonder why I don't put up with you in my house.

Good luck Max, hope all goes well.

McClain There's a job opening at the Dupseville Anthropological Museum for styling homo rhodesiensis exhibit hairs.

Okay, maybe not, but still... If something related opens up I know who to contact. Fair winds my friend.

MetalMilitia You'll just have to find a new job in which being fired from a museum of science is considered an advantage.
I suggest the museum of creation science.

Phoenix Gamma That's weak, dude. My father's been experiencing severe layoffs at his work too, so I know what it's like (albeit in a different field from yours. He did work at a Museum of Science way back, though.)

I'm with Miss Modular when I say that I hope your next job is a more enjoyable experience than your last.

Miss Modular Max, how awful. Not only do I hope you pull through, but that you get a job offer that puts you in a better situation than you were in before. I really believe that things like this happen for a reason.

Colonel Flagg Hang in there, Max. I was where you are about 9 years ago, and it all worked out. Have faith, scour the want ads, make cold phone calls and don't let the bastards get you down.

J. Tithonus Pednaud Sorry to hear the bad new Max, best of luck and I am certain that after 16 years you certainly have a plethora of skills transferable to a multitude of trades. You will do just fine, with your chubby feet under you.

Geggy What do you know? i am being laid off from work sometime in the next month. It was supposed to happen last may 30th but there was a fuck up with the new building in auburn that it didn't meet the standard hazmat code so the move of my company had been delayed. what do you say that we hang out at salem willow, drink couple of 40's, smoke up some maui wowie and complain about life?

Jeanette X I'm sorry to hear that Max, that must feel horrible. Hopefully your years of experience will land you another job soon.

Esuohlim I think it's time to start asking Rog to cough up some cash for almost 10 years of writing for his website :o

Fathom Zero Don't worry; you'll be working at another Museum of Science and being paid similarly in no time, buddy!

Suddenly unemployed

Well, friends, I have become a statistic. On Tuesday I got a call not to come in to work, that my work email and phone had been shut off and that I would need to make arrangements with security to turn in my badge and keys and pick up my stuff.

I worked for the Museum for sixteen years. They laid off forty employees, a number of whom had worked there more than thirty years. Over half the employees let go were in the exhibits department, which no longer exists. Just what a museum without an exhibits department is, I'm not entirely sure.

I'm hopeful that I will land on my 46 year old slightly overweight cat feet, and that whatever comes next is better than what I had. Lord knows it never paid very well.

But after sixteen years, it feels very sad and odd not to be a Museum of Science guy.
