Recovery.

All the economic signs are point to recovery but my job isn't out of the woods yet. I felt sorry for the CEO of our company yesterday. In our meetings, basically people were asking him to predict the future in regards to jobs. He can't say "I won't lay anyone off" because who knows. He did say that layoffs would be the absolute last step. He said it's dumb to lay off employees at the first sign of trouble, like a lot of companies, do because that cuts down on employee loyalty, you lose a lot of good people, etc (that's a paraphrase but it's the essence of his speech). Plus we are positioned very well for the future. I'm not going to get into specifics (not sure where the line is drawn and don't want to even get close), but when we come out of the recession, we will be doing very well. He's a sharp cookie.

If I'm going to get laid off, I wish it could be now. No house payment, no major bills, etc... I could take the French class! I would probably switch careers and say goodbye to programming.
