And the bad news keeps piling on.
Jan. 5th, 2010 06:57 pmI'm job hunting.
The government extended the contract four months, but didn't fully fund the level of effort called for. They missed by 30% or more. I'm one of a significant number of people whose jobs just went *poof*. They hope/expect to win a competitive task order that will hopefully start up in April, and they'd love to have me back then. We'll see if I'm available or not.
The best outcome is for my current company to find another contract that can take me temporarily. It's being looked into, but there are no results yet. My company has indicated that they will carry me for a week, so that will get me to the end of the pay period. Since pay is one period in arrears, I'll have a paycheck at the end of the month, plus the expense check for the Korea trip, so it's not disastrous immediately.
Blarg.
Here's hoping that Twelfth Night features much shopping. Likewise Birka and Estrella.
