2008 Setting In

Back to work for real now. Everyone is back, people are asking for things to be completed, all systems are ramping back up to bullet train speed as we speak. The American work ethic is still alive and well.

So how does corporate America start a new year? First with the annual January lay-off rumors followed by the 'they are changing the servernce package' rumor. Never fails. And the while the former is usually true the later never has come to furition. Its unfortunate that this is what it all boils down to these days but its always a subject close to the surface. It doesn't help either that we have a new CEO who started last week, the stock is dropping like a rock, and recession talk is in the air...

After a few days though things will get busy again and the gloom and doom will move to the back of the mind. Then the focus will be on each day as it comes.
