This sounds like my friend I mentioned a few days ago, who happens to have a BA in SQA, and 8 years of experience. He was out of work for nearly three years and now works at a Help Desk. They are even timed for how long they go to the bathroom. He hopes he will not loose his house.

I am so glad that the economy is so strong - as it was 20 years ago according to the media, under Reagan. Life is good - if you have a job.
