Who cares. 41% said they weren't affected so it must be true.

Financial markets everywhere may be shedding value with nail-biting speed but the majority of UK IT departments are apparently still sitting pretty in the midst of global financial turmoil.

Asked 'how is the credit crunch affecting your IT department?', 41 per cent of respondents to the latest silicon.com reader poll said they are not, in fact, being affected.




Boomed!

By the time you finish reading this sentence, the national debt will have risen by another £1,500 - which you or your children will have to repay.

After a few weeks of not much, quite a few things in my key skills have appeared recently, I'm discussing 3 different (as far as I can tell) roles which appear to be genuine (as far as I can tell) and for which agents seemed genuinely keen to put me forward for (as far as I can tell)... only one even mentioned references so far which seems like a good sign.
