If I were you, I'd start putting feelers out just in case.

I'd like to believe that I'm still valuable. They will need me when the Bluray player comes out, we will be too busy to not have me. They did wait 3 months and 11 or so interviews before hiring me for this CSR job, so I think want to keep me. But who knows, when the bucks stop rolling, they will probably have to make cuts. So it's either gonna be me, or my friend who mostly only does sales. I do both, and even did a lot of shipping when were busy in end of '06. But, still, I have doubts.

I am getting worried about Obama's plan to downsize the funds to DoD and military as last time that happened, the Navy cut out about 35000 sailors. I hope it doesnt happen, and if it does, Im safe.
