Lay-offs seem to be going around right now the way colds do in the winter.
Case in point: My older brother Nathan, a brilliant computer scientist with a master's degree and a lot of experience, sent us an email yesterday letting us know of some changes in his life:
This darn economy touches us all, doesn't it?

My brother is an eternal optimist and can find humor even in life's toughest moments. I really admire that about him.Due to some severe downsizing at the Vancouver Site, I will not be at my present job with HP after March 27th. They've offered me a brief period to look for scarce job opportunities within HP, plus an open ended period (as long as I want!) to look for opportunities elsewhere.
It is early to say what or where the next, exciting phase of my career will consist of. I am still largely in the laborious resume revision and other paperwork stage. I will attempt to gain some time by skipping the shock-denial-anger phase, philosophical life reasessment phase, and the self esteem teardown / rebuild phase. Thanks to all family members for their fine examples in handling life's big changes.

I am so sorry to hear about your nephew! Please feel free to give his parents my contact information. I would be happy to talk with them. I do understand the complete and total shocking numbness that comes from the initial diagnoses. I don't know if they will be using Primary Children's, but I can certainly recommend doctors if they are.
My email is goodworth1@aol.com If they would rather speak by telephone, just shoot me an email and I will give you my phone number.
My prayers will be with them!
