Every one here at work is depressed because of the political changes. I am guessing that it is because they don’t like the uncertainty. I keep hearing about how 15 years ago a County Executive outsourced the IT department to IBM, which turned out to be a total disaster. Another theme is that the new Executive (I have to memorize his name) will sell off Rye Playland to developers. Playland is one of the projects that keeps my group busy. We do their programming.

I haven’t heard from the 9th floor (executive territory) all day. I think everyone is using up their sick days and polishing their resumes. The lawyer types that I deal with will all have to find work after January. I can’t see them bothering much in the next couple of months. Many of my projects came from the 9th floor. I am lucky in that I have a wide variety of projects and I don’t do all that much that is political.
