Unhappy

I was at the Cafe Networking in Cambridge a couple of days ago and the room was full of Qualcomm (and Kodak) people.

I must say the meet was quite depressing for me, even as an employer.

Fortunately the Science Park is on the outskirts so you don' t actually have to live in Cambridge to work there.

On the other hand, we do have the A14 as revenge.

Qualcomm is a competitor - can see them out of the window - but heart goes out to people losing their jobs. We could be next....
