Just an update ...since it could happen to you!
I talked to the Doctor yesterday about going back to work after my Heart attack. He said ok but i still have to have a couple of months in re-hab 3 times a week. I agree and leave his office to go back home pretty happy considering all that happened. So today i went out got the mail. I see a letter from the company that I work for as a contractor. They did not renew my contract .

.some BS about not enough work.See the person in human reasources asked me last month when i was coming back. I said April 1!
I know its aganist the law to not let someone come back to work for a medical reason..but not for lack of work ..as they claim . Well,at least i have everything paid for!

(Except the Hospital bill of course ! )

Sorry to hear that.

Project work has just about slowed to a drizzle with the puckered up economy.

Last September at my last gig we had a whole binder of projects lined up for this year. They had brought in a new CEO whose salary made people ill. He subsequently put all work on hold and in November half the PMO was let go.

That sucks dude. I'm heading towards my layoff date (April 16th), and really dreading it because the economy/job market are in the crapper. I've submitted a ton of applications/resumes, but haven't had a single nibble. I'm seriously worried about losing the Mach....unemployment won't cover car payment and rent, at least not in FL.
