I'm hoping the Web development thing takes off, but I'm worried that my lack of certs will hold me back. As for the RSS snippets: I just wanted to ensure that readers were forced to go to my blog and see all of the other stuff to look at and...click on...you know what I mean. @dks:

Where I work they just laid off 20% of the sales staff... and now they're saying that no new business cards will be given to us until "we see what happens beginning of the year." Great! This could be interpreted in many different ways but one way is that there may be more lay offs come January or worse yet could the company be in trouble? Money hasn't been good but I think it's kinda cool to HAVE a job. You’re right dude, I’m in the same boat as you, there’s no such thing as job security when you work retail.
