Dell

Well Carl got laid off this week. He has survived several rounds of layoffs prior but this week he didn't. The letter that they gave him talked about the economy and cutting 4 billion dollars and he just happened to be one of those areas affected. Luckily he said he was one of the first that day. I don't know how many people got layed off this time around but several teams were cut.
Carl's got connections so he should be able to get another job soon. He's taking some time off to relax a bit. He might actually get a job back in Dell. He was trying to get a certain position a few weeks ago but wasn't eligible for transfer. Now he's eligible for rehire so we'll see what happens. It's a huge loss to us right now but the sky is still blue and we're looking ahead. This just may in the plan to move to Washington sooner than we thought. But we'll see what happens. I may have to try and pull some strings to get a job Jan/Feb as a new grad. We'll see what things pop up the next few weeks.
