Black Thursday

Slow economy, poor corporate planning, shrinking market, and many other factors have started this blog.

A technology group of 3 doing great things. A manager, and 2 indispensable technology gurus. We loved to spend countless hours on research and hard work in theory, project planning, implementation. Multiple changes to code, servers, and hardware. The blood sweat and tears of each member pored into projects, both complete or close to completion. A group of guys that liked to work hard, creating new ideas, and fixing others. A group that has become socially close and friendships forged.
Part of this was abruptly changed on Thursday June 12, 2008. Calls were made, paperwork filled out, meetings conducted. The end result was 2 positions were eliminated, not because of poor work ethics, negative conduct, or any lacking abilities, simply the company had to cut back. The manager has been left without a group, and the group without jobs.

But rather than dwelling in the past, this BLOG is about our future, our lives, our jobs, our friendship.
