I am getting laid off at the end of the month.
There's not enough work to support all of the staff we have right now, and I was the most recent hire. Not only are we short of work starting early next year, the boss is going to be in court for 3 solid months so he can't go out and solicit more work. With the loss of revenue from his billable hours and the lack of secured future work, Reno Engineering is going to have a lean year or two. On the plus side, they told me to come in for the next two weeks and go Peter at my desk, then two weeks pay on top of that. Plus, they are giving me a great refereence and told me to feel free to look for a new position from here and schedule interviews whenever I need them.
So, while I do have a good lead on a new jorb long term, it may or may not happen, so I'm taking suggestions for a decent part-time job in the interim. I'll probably take the advice I've given other people and deliver pizzas for a while (pay is not bad for unskilled work, hours are flexible, no stress or intellectual strain) but I'm open to basically anything that pays decent, has flexible scheduling options since I start on-campus classes in January, and isn't retail or sales.
