I lost my job at the university two weeks ago. Being the first job that I've had in my career field it's been quite a blow for me. At the same time I found out that a manager who is more or less the department chair's pet is to receive a $7500/year salary increase - their second in three years - despite everyone else in the department being on a salary freeze for the past three years or so.
So I'm throwing my résumé out to all of the universities I can find that have open Unix admin positions. At the same time I've applied for unemployment (job seekers allowance) and started to look at selling my condo. My life has been turned upside-down by this, but I'm pushing on despite.
