weaktwosWork wasn't too bad. A goodly supply of meetings and telecom work. Furthermore, I had to clarify that when a customer gives us an order, we do it; we no longer do the thinking for them, unless they ask us to.
Sad but true. When the Information Technology group starts paying for all it's services, we don't give you all our thoughts for free.
I'm rather bummed that Tivo discontinued their 40hour series 2. Now I either have to buy their 60 hour or their 80 hour. Ebay might save me 50 bucks, but I'll probably make that up in shipping. Quite the conundrum.
The good news is, I an buy a wireless phone jack for the phone line component of the TiVo. I don't have a phone jack near where my television is, without having to yank up the carpet and run a line underneath. This is less than desirable to me.
A few articles have caught my attention in the past few days. This one is on the current all time slump in the job market. This is the argument for why I'm staying in a job that doesn't challenge me. For yes, I am a whore for monetary stability.
The other day, while stomping around Slashdot, I came across this entry. Here lies the reason to leave. Certainly not without some thought, of course.

Date: 2003-02-05 08:46 pm (UTC)Monday we had a press conference with the Detroit Free Press giving us the "insider's scoop" on the latest in the real news. The editor of the New York Times was in town last Saturday to accept a special award (at the same shindig I won an announced award--only I wasn't there, because in true Journalistic fashion, I was shooting photos at a BB game).
Anywhoo, the real scoop is they are officially "lying" about the economic situation. I'm not sure what the fuck is going on, but, for instance, The Freep is on the one hand publicly saying there is an indefinite hiring freeze, when in fact, they are hiring 32 new people just in their reporting/editing section alone.
Maybe this is how they are getting past the affirmative action thingy, but I am confused because the Freep is courting people of all ethnic groups, genders and ages and is a liberal publication.
So, until further notice, DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU READ IN THE PRESS ABOUT THE ECONOMY!!
