It's Tough Out There This December

It's tough out there this December! I'm having to lower my rate a little, take what I can get.
To give you an idea of the current economic climate, check out how fast the USA almost goes grey near the end:

Even though this is the USA, I most certainly believe other parts of the world are feeling this kind of heat, if not worse.
Some days I wonder why I didn't take that remote telework job with Canonical.com (makers of Ubuntu). It just wasn't programming work, but only sysop work, and I wanted to focus my career on programming. (The sysop job focused only on Perl and Linux command line stuff, and Canonical.com avoids PHP for some reason.) I love that company to pieces, though.
But I tell you what, guys -- I'm making it. I'm duking it out, pulling out all the stops.
