   Some kind of collateral damage from 9/11? I mean, obviously nothing can overshadow the loss of lives, but I’d imagine that it had repercussions on the corporate, economical, sociological, and other levels as well. I’d imagine that one has to have been pretty significant within one’s chosen field to have rated an office at the WTC.

   Wasn’t that just a few years after the DotCom crash? I’d just started working at a new department on campus, and they had a recruitment going on for a web designer. They got over 900 applications. Interesting times…

   The bursting of the original dot-com bubble was definitely causing fall-out the summer before 9/11 and probably well past that date, too. I lost a job in the summer, just a fortnight after visiting a friend’s work-place in another land, to which I subsequently moved (once they were hiring again).
