Jobs or Scams?

Does anyone know anything about a shift either in the scamming market, or the IT market, for hiring? I ask because I have waited two years for hits on one job thread/listing. Now that I really can't think about taking this tech job, HR people are coming out my ears. We are not talking the heyday amounts of a hit per day, but an inquiry every other day.

The ones out of area are easy to politely say "No, thank you" to, but I was curious if it's happening to anyone else right now.

Yeah, I know -- convention report soon.

Clearly, I need an ICS...

It's always Christmas time for Visa!

The Austin Lounge Lizards are helping Consumer's Union (those Consumer Report people) bring home the message of debt in America. I needed the reminder -- I may always pay off my card every month, but resisting the urge to buy perfect holiday gifts for people is often a struggle. As it happens, I have $1200 worth of tooth work in the next month, so I have no holiday money.*
