In South Florida, the economy is not as warm as the weather, at least when
it comes to tech writing.
There are hardly any jobs listed (not that I'm looking, of course, in case
anybody at my company is reading this <g>), and some very qualified people I
know who were laid off are taking forever to land new jobs.
Lots of telecom and dotcoms here too, which doesn't help.
Good thing I have that whole mud-wrestling thing to fall back on...
