What I thought would be a longer term employment as a contractor, and
possibly a full time position, is ending in 2 weeks. Back to unemployment
again. They didn't have as much work as they thought, and a new hire in the
mainframe middleware department has been doing a lot in the z/OS areas.
I'll be moving back to my house in the Milwaukee area in a few weeks to a
few months.
If anyone has any possible leads on jobs, please let me know. I'm willing
to work almost anywhere in the USA, although I would much prefer the
Milwaukee area. I know there are still several z/OS datacenters left
Milwaukee, although in the last 2 years, I've only known of 1 job opening
there for a sysprog. Note the change in my sig line to TekSystems. That's
who I work through at Lands End. Maybe they will have a new contract job.
Until about 6 months ago, I wouldn't even consider contract work. Now, I
suspect that will be my source of income for a while. We'll see what the
good Lord has in store for me.
