What terrible times we live in. I am about to finish my contract in Northern Alberta and the place is littered with devastated projects in the patch. Everybody is running for the hills instead of planning for the future. The recession will pass but what did we learn? What did you learn? I learned very little but one small thing... you have a little window (pun intended!)..... to learn how to do your job better. If we learn anything from a tough situation it should be to say we are smarter for it.
I have used such times to train people to learn positive habits. When the next big wave of work comes, it helps them. The work will come again. In the meantime, invest in your yourself, your calculations and look to the future.
The future will be a little different to the past. If you're smarter you'll go further. The difference will be measured in computer literacy in simple tools like MS Word and Excel and the ability to produce quality calculations.
I remember when I first came into the profession, I was always looking for that book that would show me how to do calculations properly and here I am...... Still learning how to do it better.
