I'll tell you what I tell the kids in juvenile hall when they worry that they won't be able to get into college because they've been "locked up." When you have to struggle to achieve, it makes you a much more interesting person than someone who did not have to (think about the person reading the personal essay of a kid from JH who has a 4.0 versus the privileged kid from Beverly Hills who has a 4.0). You, friend, are an inspiration.

Dude, y'all, that's awful. Fingers crossed that there's something better around the next corner.

Not in this housing market... Though it is awfully tempting.
He has 3 months severance and has already started the process of looking, and he has a lot of experience and left on good terms (it was economic- the only developers there are the three that have been there longer than Tom- and he's been there almost 10 years- AND 2 of those 3 have the words "Vice President" or CxO in their titles) so it's not a gruesome situation... yet.
