Now, we are divesting Mass Spec to Daniher. There could be opportunities there. What did you decide to switch to? Weren't you doing research, or some kind of lab career? It has been a real roller-coaster ride. There have been a lot of people out with no notice; hard on everyone, including the managers. Leann Hi Kate, Yes, so far I am a survivor.

Me, not so good... I got sent away with my papers in hand on 12/5. It took 10 months to get a job and I had to switch careers. HR at AB was great, hooked me up with addt'l funds and were easy to deal with. I'm glad you made it through. I have no love for AB--- my boss told me on 12/4 to make my vacation plans (to France!) b/c no one was getting laid off in our group. She found out at lunch that day and didn't tell me until the following day. I was pissed. I wondered how you fared in the great life tech debacle.
