Survivor …. again

It was time for round 4 or 5. I actually stopped counting how many overall layoffs there have been now. Fact is I am still employed and I am not sure if it would have been better to lay me off 2 months ago. The last time the severance packages carried a minimum of 60 days salary + Health Insurance. This time it seems like that the severance package was reduced to 30 days and Health Insurance will run out at the end of the month (roughly 2 weeks from now). This could mean that the going gets really tough now and that money is getting tight. Maybe the next time there is not enough money left to pay severance at all? Who knows? Overall - the fun is missing and we have not been busy lately at all. The people who were busy were actually doing the same things 2 or 3 times because it wasn’t done right the first time. That seems to be a common problem here. The slap a solution into production just to go back a couple of times and fix it because it was not done right and it was done with no planning at all.
Anyway - I think the taxman is still proud of me - I am still paying a shitload of taxes every month to keep the government going. 
By the way - if you know about a job opening for a Senior Windows Systems Engineer in the southern Denver Metro area (or via remote / work from home), let me know.
