My company is redesigning our website and in doing that the boss man decided that we need professional pictures (just your standard mug shot) to acompany the new website. There are 13 of us here. Guess how much this is costing? The dude is including a "CD" and the copyright to the pictures.

ETA: I almost asked sbm12 if he would have been up for it as I think he probably has the equipment but a more senior person recommended her "friend" first.

Well, it sounds like I may soon be added to the list of unemployed members of The Box. I was notified today that due to significant cutbacks at my primary client, my position will likely be going away at the end of November (my birthday to be exact :rolleyes:). The writing has been on the wall for a few months now, so I can't say I'm completely surprised. I'm going to see if my consulting company has any other opportunities that I can pursue, but this situation is also giving me a good kick in the butt to ramp up a job search in other parts of the country as well. Life goes on...

Anyone need an IT PM with experience in IT compliance and web-technologies?

Indeed we were. I was fairly drunk by that time, and still had better sense than that (though I did ride an elephant later). :-:

Sorry to hear, sdm1130. If something comes across my plate, I will pass it along.

Good luck!

Of course by XXXXXXXXXX rules, I should have expected to get at least 3 calls because the first 2 agents wouldn't know what they were talking about. Finally, I'd get what I wanted but not without CO trying to charge me.

Following that awful incident, I'd start posting everywhere as often as possible about how horrible CO's customer service is and all the while maintaining my Platinum status. :rolleyes:

Sorry to hear this. :td:

It's good you're not tied down to a specific locale, as that should help greatly in the search for a new job. Best of luck finding something bigger and better.

Thanks for the comments, everyone. ^

Sorry to hear, sdm1130. Here's your golden ticket out of Jersey, methinks.
