- Well I was informed yesterday that my current contract will be ending on April 17th. I kinda thought it would end in June, not in a few weeks. With that, I will no longer be on a BES configuration which means.... I can start actually using programs! YAY!!! It's sad, but I am somewhat relieved that I don't have the restrictions anymore (besides other things related to being at that company). Now if I can just find another contract so I can pay for this thing...
BTW, the contract ended because of a merger, not because of the economy. In less than a year, I may be back on the project training the new employees with the the company. This is the calm before the storm, no pun intended.03-28-09 11:42 AMLike 0 - Well I was informed yesterday that my current contract will be ending on April 17th.

I have been in this line of work (corporate training) for right at 6 years and have only been out of work for about 3 months at the longest. I'm sure something will be available.
And I've found lots of programs for the Storm that I like and can do exactly what I want. More is always better for selection, but I really don't see limitations or a need to lower expectations. But to each his own.03-28-09 03:14 PMLike 0 - Good luck, as a contractor you are actually at an advantage in this economy. Companies don't have to make a long term investment in you allowing them to keep costs down. Contractors always do well in a down economy. Hopefully you won't be on the bench for long..........03-28-09 03:29 PMLike 0

- Well I was already paying for my own service anyways, so no change other than the fact that I can downgrade to the BIS plan. Yeah the idea of the admins controlling the device I pay for sucked but I could get things done without being tied to my laptop.
