Just wanted to give props to Ernie, who got laid off for the second time in 5 months yesterday. Here's hoping you find something new ASAP. It's also a testament to how many people care about him that his post yesterday on the subject already has 57 comments from wellwishers! Talk about 'blog as support structure'!

Seriously though, Ernie's really great and while I'm sad he's unemployed again, at least I get the feeling he wasn't in love with his job there (feeling, heck! read his blog! :-) ) Here's hoping Ernie finds a great job, and fast enough that he gets double-pay from severance and his new job!
