2008? Somebody light a match! 2009: Much, much better...

The latter half of 2008 was a real challenge.
In so many ways.

While I still think the company I started working for (after so many positive years consulting independently) is the best I've ever worked for, there were a few times last year that gave me pause. All in all, we pulled together to resolve impacts many of you will find familiar:

• Clients with "disappered" budgets
• Projects frozen due to "significant changes in client standing or management"
• Staff changes due to major life changes, family matters, or a need to move

Almost through the first quarter of 2009, we're looking forward to the Spring! We found opportunity in 2008's adversities, and smoother times are ahead.
