Yeah, um... that sucks
You know my job that I've mentioned I really like?

Company had some serious investment money fall through and is now screaming its way toward bankruptcy as far as I can tell.  They're scything through corporate cutting anyone they can and though I haven't got a pink slip in hand, I have been given the word that my time there is very short - probably less than two weeks.

So I'm brushing up my resume and putting out the call for contacts.  If you know of anyone looking for people with dual clinical and IT expertise, please point them my way... or me their way!

On the bright side, K was headed to Cambridge England for a conference and I wasn't going to get to go because I really didn't have enough accumulated vacation time.  But now that I'll be unemployed, that is no longer a barrier.  Booked tix yesterday.  So... suggestions about things to do and enjoy in the Cambridge area?

Losing your job gets the failwhale. Best of luck for finding a new one ASAP.

I've never been to Cambridge, but wow, just running around and seeing the architecture would keep me busy.

Should I be sad for you or happy? ;)

Good luck in finding another position that you enjoy!

My parents were in Cambridge about 18 months ago... we used to live at the AFB near there.

My first thought is Anglesey Abbey. It's famous for its clock collection. I still remember the place from when I was 11. According to my parents, the clocks are no longer a huge draw (many of them don't work anymore) but it is still a cool place.

You have to pay to get into the colleges now (when we lived there, they were free, though Oxford was closed and you have to pay). The colleges are great and if you can catch a performance of the King's College Choir, do it.

This post leaves me thinking, "Boo! And, yay!" :) I hope you get some kind of severance package (I know, not likely if impending bankruptcy is what's causing this, but a girl can dream), or at least enough freedom to take a break and enjoy yourself and your trip to Cambridge.

And then, on to bigger and better things. :)
