Hmmm... where are you hearing these things? I haven't been hearing that...
not that I can remember anyway. I think the tech sector is in a bad place
right now but I think things will level out as people turn their attentions
back to development.

Now, I'm on the creative end of things and I don't know if that market (web)
is ever going to bounce back to what it was.

What I keep hearing is that I'm one of those people who were riding this
ridiculous dot-com wave in the search of easy money and that I deserve what
I get. All I wanted was a good job. [Not that I'm bitter, oh no.]
