I know exactly how you feel, Susan. That's probably the biggest reason
that I have been invisible over the past year. I would look in from time
to time to see who was posting and what topics were on the go. But it
has been a tough market and the surviving companies (of which ours is
one, thankfully) are more demanding of their employees. 

I have been trying to do virtually three jobs... I manage our Security
Engineering and Evaluation Group (about 20 folks), I got stuck as a
national product manager for something and I am working at a federal
agency as a program manager and IT service management advisor 3.5 days
per week. Family? Heck, I can't even remember my dog's name!

I suspect there are other similar hi tech "salt mine" stories out there
since the down-turn.
