I guess the -s sitting on the shebang line is getting more work than
the whole rest of the shebang gang in the NW, sitting on our S...

Heck, if Larry Wall can't get his "s" to work, what hope do the rest
of us JAPH's have getting our "s" to work?

That's my view in the NW, how out in the S or the E or elsewhere?

Tim refers to OR, AK, and WA as the top 3 nationally ranked states for
unemployment. Anyone seen that broken down by sector? (I surely am
broken down by the IT sector [cue the rim shot -- ta-dum-dump].)

There was a "Misery Loves Company" article in this weeks "Puget Sound
Business Journal".
