I've got to stop saying 'Baaarp' all the time.

I think, based on the last few weeks "research", that it's safe to say that the IT job market is in a pretty bad way. Admittedly, I was barely employable during the recent economic boom. It hardly comes as a surprise that my resume is being received with the same level of joy that a heavily used arse-rag, ...

A while ago I was reading about resignation letters. I've written a few in my time, and this blog, containing that exact thing, has been sitting in the drafts folder for a while.
