I still have friends who are looking.  Lots of competition for the spots
that are open.

They merged.  According to the press release, they're keeping the Nuvox
name but putting the headquarters in Greenville instead of St. Louis.

That's happening at the MetLife location I'm in.  We're about out of space
and not quite finished hiring.  Several conference rooms now have people
(consultants, mostly) sitting in them.  When I started 2 months ago, they
tossed a consultant out of the cubicle I'm in so that I would be sitting
with my co-workers.
