    In my area things look just fine. Plenty of work at current place and plenty of roles getting emailed to me that I have to decline.

    Been out for quite a while through choice because I can afford it, and health reasons. I have enjoyed what we had of the summer, brushed up on my technical knowledge, and I am just starting to look again. Still paying a salary until April 2009 and had an interview last week.

    I work at a bank! I was given notice 2 weeks ago though so nothing to do with yesterday!
