After 16 1/2 years at that job, I was laid off. I started my next real job on 28 January 2003, which was the 17th anniversary of the Challenger explosion. A few days later, the Space Shuttle Columbia went to pieces, killing all seven aboard.
Alas, that second job only lasted about six months, and I've been unemployed since then. I guess, when another Space Shuttle blows up, killing everyone aboard, you'll know that I have finally found another job.
As much as I need a job, I think I will turn down any offers of employment as an astronaut
