Gung Hay Fat Choy! Sun Lien Fai Lok! Sun Tai Geen Hong!
Happy Chinese New Year and welcome to the year of the Ox!
It’s been a fun day today! Connor either ate something he was not supposed to or got the stomach flu which is going around. Either way, the little guy was yakkin’ all afternoon and didn’t stop until almost 6pm this evening when he finally was able to nap a little. After an hour nap, he got up and drank a whole bottle of PediaLyte and tried to raid my bag of Ruffles chips. He also had some diarrhea as well. But he’s resting comfortably right now and seems to be none the worse for wear at this time.
On the job front, it looks like SUN Microsystems laid off 1300 people last Thursday. The goal I’ve heard is 6000 by March. Guess I’ve got a stay of execution until March when I find out whether my winning streak of surviving layoffs stays intact! It’s a tough economy out there right now with almost 10% unemployment in California and some major companies like IBM, Home Depot, GM and a few other announced layoffs today as well. I know two people I’ve worked with, Joe McCabe and Art Ness were impacted last week. If anyone needs a product technical manager lemme know!
Other than that, I wish you a happy new year and that it be happy and prosperous for you and may you also have great health in the coming year!
