Hey Joe,
Wassup? I thought you made it to easy street?
I am just being VERY lazy. Still getting my head back on straight. Only planned on a 3 month leave, then look hard for a new job. But personal things came up (friend died, 2 weeks later dad died).
This has caused me to sit back and reflect on life. I still haven't come to any conclusions. I am currently comtimplating going into teaching. But the few places I have applied to, they have a huge stack of resumes of other people with the same idea.
I still keep in touch with old workmates, If things are bad, hang in there. HR is aware of the problems, and are talking to managers about it. They are aware that a lot of workers are just "hang'n" till the job market turns around fully, and they are trying to come up with ideas on how to retain people.
P.S.
You ever check your board messages? I sent you one!
