Here's a happy note Ellis to lift you out of your gloom....In Statetech =
magazine I read this morning, "In 2001, the state (Delaware) dissolved =
the IT organization, then spent two years rebuilding it from =
scratch....by making the state's salary structure similar to private =
industry, Delaware was able to rehire about 80% of its IT staff and also =
lured tech workers from the private sector." =20
A careful reading of that sentence tells me that Delaware was able to = SHED 20% of it's dead weight... Way to go Delaware! Anyway, Ellis you = have provided the most entertaining reading I have experienced in = awhile. If you give up on IT you can join Scott Adams (Dilbert) or Dave = Barry as a commentator. <g>

It's interesting how an organization can get on an upward spiral of =
