Bad Day Today, Folks
Got laid off this evening. Company going thru rough times after 9/11 and was kinda expecting it. Doesn't lessen the shock though.

Will have to face it now.

Cadd: I worked with a NYC based software company. After 9/11, thing went from bad to worse. Over 50% of the staff is laid off. Though I have an engineering background, I started working here in January last year after I moved to this country.

Will now start looking for something.

Shahani, my Friend, that's a rough deal, but here's something that gets me thru the night, and I hope you'll take it to heart.

When one door closes,
Fortune will usually
open another.

Chin up, buddy. You're a brilliant and valuable man. Screw those people. Todd
