Joe and I had a
Joe and I had a sobering discussion on the way to work. There are rumors flying around about more layoffs in my company. I am in a fairly vital position and not terribly concerned, but when you hear these things it gets you thinking. The high end/enterprise level networking industry is not doing well in Houston right now. If anything were to happen to my employment status, there's a good chance I would have to move to find comparable work (read: salary). Which started me thinking. I'm single with no children. I could live anywhere in the world. Where would I go? Realistically, this has a lot to do with work, but if the employment prospects were equal in all places non-Houston, I think I would really have a hard time narrowing my list. The world is so big and we are here for such a short period of time. It's a shame, really.
We’re having huge layoffs at my company at the moment. I like to think I’m vital, but the truth is that no is vital at the moment. I’m sort of in “wait and see” mode. I don’t see business picking up any time in the future, though. Is is depressing.
Here too. Thank God hubby has a job that, with the bad economy, will only get busier (actually, that is not a good thing, but you know what I mean)!
Indianapolis...That simple…
Don’t you have to be a farmer to work in Indiana?
;-)
damn Sam!
heh, heh, heh…
(His evil laugh echos as he twists his hands in demonlike anticipation...)
Indiana???? What is this, a bad episode of Smallville? Shall we farm now? Just kidding, pa. Think global, baby. Personally, I’d prefer it if you stayed in town, but that’s just me - you need to do what is best for you. My opinion, make sure you are HAPPY, happiness means more than wealth. And when you leave town let Irfan and I take care of your house. Cool, yes?
You can’t live in INdiana unless you’re Amish.
Classic, trish, classic.
churnin’ butter
i suggest kabul. the new government needs you! do it for democracy & the people.
I can testify that Atlanta’s a cool place to live. Fun music scene. But damn, if you’re going anywhere, why not San Francisco?
Like you say, the world is big - why limit it to the states? The salary isn’t going to be as good anywhere else, I’m sorry to say, but you can find trade-offs of all sorts, n’est pas?
May I suggest London as a suitable destination for a man of your prospects? ;-)
will there be a pint of guinness waiting for me? you know, a pint of guinness goes a long way in the perks department
negative on the kabul irfan… sorry man, but i don’t think i’d fair so well over there right now
Pint of Guinness? “Pint” of Guinness? Baby, you know i’ll have a full firkin waiting! ;-)
i’m packing my bags this mornin’
;)
