It's a sign!

In the last month or so, both my boss and my helpdesk quy have quit. That's 50% of the IT department. I am giving some serious thought to joining their ranks, as former employees. The life of a free-wheeling independant consultant beckons. Oh, decisions, decisions.

When my boss quit back in March, he recommended some mouth-breather to replace him. His direct report hired him, without even bothering to vet him with me, or the rest of the IT department. When I finally did see his resume, I almost fell over: 15 years at a retailer with 65 users. Can you imagine working somewhere for 15 years in an environment that small? I guess that explains his glassy, vacant look...
