A while ago I mentioned that I was given 90 days notice at work. Well today I managed to secure a new job. Just in the nick of time, my last day would have been the 14th of oct. I'll be starting the new job on the 12th or the 19th. I stayed with Lockheed Martin but will be working for a different division. I will be able to work "virtually" and not have to move to do the new job. Life is good  I'll have a bunch of new things to learn and am very happy to be given a new position with the company at my current salary and still retain all my years of service and the perks that go along with it. To keep this race related, the race car will likely come off the market and I'll get it back out next year. 
Jim

Great news Jim, congrats I on the other hand was surprised with a layoff Monday, another victim of the poor economy and the auto industry.
Sorry to hear about your Job Jim. Being in the DOD industry is just as bad. The division I moved to does all of the corporations intranet webpages for all the divisions. It's a bunch of new stuff for me to learn but supporting all the divisions helps to flatten their work load. Not the same situation where one site loses a bunch of key contracts and needs to thin the staff accordingly. The site I worked as was building the presidential helicopter and also did lot's of work for the USPS. The plug was pulled on the copter and USPS is having financial woes so that left Owego with too many people for the workload.

That is very good news, especially in these economic times. Good to hear you are keeping the race car.
