Thoughts and prayers....and networking

Mr. Sageofages needs some good thought coming his way. He was downsized after 7 years of being with Meredith. His boss called him in about 2pm yesterday and said "we regret to inform you, your position is being eliminated". Basically "Thanks your work was great, but since the conversion is over, Interactive Media is going to do your job. No reflection on you, it is 'just a business decision'." After winning national awards, company awards and bonus after bonus...go figure.

He gets 4 months' severance (full benefits) and "outplacement assistance" (which is a joke).

I have tried to be as supportive and loving as possible...but he is sandbagging on me, trying to be "Mr Stoic". He was up all night last night with a sick stomach and pain in his chest. I could not get him to go to the hospital.

So the job hunt begins....anyone with leads in Information Technology sector (Unix sysadmin, web app developer, instructional uses) we could use them.
