“Also, some companies keep positions open on the website even though they have a hiring freeze. It’s a image thing. Some even go through the song and dance of interviewing people (locally that requires no cost), only to not hire.”

Very true, I interviewed several times over the years at Oracle Corporation. Qualified for the open DBA jobs. Every time did well on the interviews and background check. Then hiring freeze emails and phone calls from the manager and recruiter. Very frustrating to spend hours and get hopes up for a job prospect only to have it turn to dirt.

What keeps me waiting to buy

is the economy being wicked bad and unstable. I have been layed off/downsized many times even when the tech boom in late 90’s was good. A huge mortgage payment would be too risky for me until I have stable employment. So waiting a few years.

Thats funny about LPL

I actually used to work there as a DBA. They don’t pay very well so not surprised they are laying people off now to cut costs. Had to wear a suit and tie to work even though I was in a data center working on servers and never dealt with customers or the public. Glad that I do not have to wear that tie anymore.

Good deal on used Lexus

I would love to find a sweet deal on a low mileage 1-2 year old Lexus SC430 convertible! An absolute gem of a car with the hard top for year round driving and summertime drop top pleasure. New these go for almost 80k so used maybe 30k would be nice ride for major discount. But its sad that Mercedes has produced crap the last few years. I like the SL550 and maybe Mercedes will bring quality control back into their cars again.
