Another Day At The Races
I talked with a couple of the students and the instructor in my Data Communications class about IT employment in general. One student who's been looking for a job for eight months, said that a company offered $27,000 a year for her services. This may have been a good figure for a kid fresh out of high school, but it's an insult to someone with years of experience in their chosen professional field--any field. She had more than eight years experience in IT.
What worries me is that companies will adopt this as a standard even after the economy begins to turn around (if the economy ever turns around). Profits drive any business--the more profit the better.
Another example, mentioned by the instructor, of 'wages decreasing' is Circuit City in our area. They fired all their experienced sales staff and replaced them with rookies for half the wage.
I've never been a 'money whore,' but if wages drop and the price of housing, goods, etc. don't follow suit, what happens? To me it's obvious. Sales drop, people are laid off and the downward economic trend continues.
It's a delicate balance, isn't it?
Ahhhhhh, Blogger
I found out on w.bloggar that the reason the app doesn't work is because Blogger is moving content to the new Dano servers. They've been doing this for a week, now. Most responses to the problems on the forums were along the lines of, "At least it's free." But, the situation does not instill confidence in me to purchase a paid, Blogger Pro account. The problems have been happening for more than a month with no end in sight, and I really liked using w.bloggar to post blog comments. It's simple and efficient, two features that usually sell me on a product.

Again?
I'm being "checked up on" again. Online stalked. Do you know I can see you? Do you? That I'm not quite that terribly stupid?
Now run along, I can assure you there's nothing here that will be of interest. Certainly not since I know you're looking for something. Simply being aware of your presence influences what comes out here; I can manipulate the information you receieve. That makes said information kind of useless to you, now doesn't it?
So piss off.
