Dell actually laid some people off

Dell actually laid some people off. Digging through this article, though, I found some interesting ways to look at, since 1998, Dell has added over 10,000 positions locally, and now they cut 1,700. That still looks like a gain, over time. Progress marches forward. Naturally, I’m worried about getting cut, too, but cut out from what? The Neighbor called me up early yesterday morning, “Hey, what’s for lunch?” I mumbled incoherently into the phone, “c’mon, it’s noon already, why are you still asleep?” Because I didn’t get home from Planet Houston until after 2:00 AM, the night before, that’s why. Lunch was a late affair at the Texas Chili Parlor, perfect for a cold day. On the way home, I stopped at the bank, and tried to chase down the missing deposit. No luck, thus far. Mercury? Maybe just a teller’s mistake.
