Tech-support Hall of Shame

[Marvin GodfatherofSoul Bellamy]

That's exactly how I got my job.  But, I lucked out and ended up with a 
great company/owner/boss.  Things look like they actually will get 
better.  I know a lot of companies want to hire and start new projects 
but have freezes in place.  To me, this indicates that they're just 
being cautious.
