It's funny until you can't pay the rent

By Raised by Wolves
CA's – hey, it works if you put an apostrophe in there! – are in a constant state of flux, trying to find a project that will support them without burning bridges. And that's when the market is good. Back in the day – 2004, 2005, even 2006, 2007 and most of 2008 – we never sat at home for more than a day or two. There were always projects starting on Monday. Then, about June 2008, things started to dry up, and by the end of 2008 lots of CA's were thumbs-up, and I don't mean they were signaling how good things were. It has been a slow recovery since, although things are looking up. I think the point is, though, that a lot of CA's sat at home for a long time over the last three years. We're still, many of us, trying to recover from that.

Naturally, that means many CA's have no sense of humor about the business. That happens when survival is tough. To them I say, “Suck it and like it!'” This business is laugh-out-loud funny, and I intend to expose that. Anybody who doesn't like it can refer to the title of the blog.
