Interviews and the start of the cold season

This week was a reasonably busy week with a good start and interviews held on Monday. The industries are in turmoil with the stocks plummeting and the bigger corporations going into panic mode. Panic mode means a freeze on hiring, cost reduction, no travel for personnel unless board approval is given, pressure on closing deals and as companies fold, others aggressively snap up the opportunities that present themselves.

This a pic of the light snow fall in Denver last night, Sunday.

The bail out package put forward by the gov has met with mixed reaction as the gov now start to institute some control in corporations that are to receive funding. Nothing quite like watching a greedy capitalist in trouble and still kicking and screaming on the way down that gov should come to the rescue but is not allowed to have any say in how the funds received will be utilized. Naive or stupid we will have to watch and see.

Weather wise we had an introduction to the first cold snap this weekend. the temp today started out at 1 degree C and should reach a high of 7 degrees C today. But the sun is out this morning and contrary to the weather forecast it looks to be a magnificent day ahead. Oh, before I forget I got to play a game of golf on Thursday and shot 89 medal which was not too bad since the 5 & 7 handicap golfers I played with shot 90 and 92 respectively.

Wishing all of you a great week ahead and a successful one.
