		<description>People are being layed off where I am - I am a contractor, though, and have a finite contract that will end next year.
I&#039;m actually finding that being a contractor in this market is actually advantageous because people like the idea that they know they don&#039;t have to hire me.
Ironically, it&#039;s making me more marketable.</description>

		<description>We just found out today that the remaining staff in my office have been spared the axe for now. What a sigh of relief! I feel so sorry for those folks who have been laid off. Such a stressful situation. Thanks for addressing this in multiple posts. It&#039;s much needed!</description>
