RE: Another Oracle DBA gets "The Bullet" WAS: Help!: Job Descrip

<SNIP>

The job market in Austin is really poor for us "high-tech" types right now. This was the home or a principal branch office of a large number of failed dot coms and Internet business ventures. A partial list of Austin failures includes (but is by no means limited to):

Netpliance
Hand Technologies
<SNIP>

I'm incredulous. Hand Technologies failed!? Why don't they ever tell the owner these things. Note to self, schedule meeting with senior staff . . . ;)

Actually, it seems Boston and vicinity are also experiencing the same major slow down. We are now under Chapter 11 reorganization. I haven't decided if this is a good or a bad thing, but at least I'm still employed, and more importantly valued.
