I've worked here nine years and know two truths about my job.

1. No one gets rich working for IBM
2. No one is ever safe.

I'm not really worried, I don't expect it get laid off, I think I am decently positioned, but you never know.

But hey, if it happens, it happens, it's a chance to take a new stab at life. But I'm happy with where life is right now though, so don't welcome that stab at this current time.
