(cutbacks and politics) Following my termination, I spent 6 months on unemployment, scoping the want ads for companies in need of self taught, intermediate Cold Fusion programmers. I played music, slept late, exercised and begin formulating a plan. The plan, was simply 'return to school, show up for classes, get a degree in psychology, pursue related career...and/or see where it takes me.' So, here I am, I just finished my 1st semester back (fall 2001). All went really well and now I'm onto the next phase of 5 more terms.
