So Much For Security 06.18.10
Once upon a time, there was job security in a government job.
That’s no longer the case. The layoff ax has hit public sector payrolls with force as states wrestle with massive budget shortfalls. Since August 2008, some 231,000 state and local government jobs have disappeared — 22,000 last month alone, according to federal data.

Another giant leap for Big Brother 12.29.07
I’m not one of those people that are paranoid about every little thing that happens. But I am one that tries to look ahead at what the outcome could be and/or what something can lead to. This is one that I’ve read about a little while back, and find it a little wierd how you never [...]
