Thomas tweeted this yesterday and I thought to give the quiz a try.  Now I’m not one to normally take quizzes but this one had a Star Trek theme and if you know me then you’re not at all surprised I jump right in.

Now not being upset by the results doesn’t mean I’m without concern (more on this after the quiz results)

Moving OnSome may not have heard the news but on March 1st I and some 2400 others were informed that short of finding another job within the company, our services would no longer be needed come the end of March. Events like this have become something of a biannual event at the company for the past three or more years. Till now each time it happened I’d be one of the growing few to get a call from management saying we were “safe” this round. The habit had become to wait about an hour then start calling or IM’ing friends I’ve worked with through the years to see if any of them had been hit in the “Resource Action” as it’s called.
