I'm here Les. I drive-by lurk quite often, don't post much anymore though.

I switched jobs about 2 1/2 years ago (left a 20+ year career at a huge canadian company for a contract position at another huge cdn company).

That's when my use for scripting went out the window. Don't script at work anymore. Of course every now and then I get the opportunity because Kix fits perfectly.

Sorry to hear about the hard times at your place. Sounds like they want to keep you around though. Good chance to be "the main man" now. Turn lemons into lemonade and all that crap ;-)
