speaking of jobs…

Speaking of jobs, I read that Dell is cutting back on it’s workforce.  Hiring freeze and encourged unpaid (or permanet) vacations.  The ironic thing is that I have been contacted 5 times now by contract compaines to come back for my old job.  The thing with big companies is that when they need to let people go to make shareholders happy, they still need the job done, so they actally have to keep their workforce the same, so they just replace them with contractors, which don’t really count (although they do the exact same job).

IBM

I’ve found a new little gig to supplement my consulting business.  It is doing contract work for IBM.  I’ve been installing new servers in stores and deploying workstations in hotels.  Kinda fun.
