That would be about the same time I was out of work for 8 months, between Disney Imagineering and Symbolics (L.A.). I spent most of that year temping (secretarial) or sewing costumes for the Renaissance Pleasure Faire costume department. Oh yeah, I finished the first draft of my first novel. It's good to be multi-talented. :)

In 28 years of documenting software systems, SO FAR I have only been
unemployed for three weeks - and that was in 1989 after returning from two

look rosy.
