I run my own small software consulting company. I finished up a project on March 20 and have been soliciting new work since then but the pipeline is, as you might guess, flowing a little slow. It's starting to pick up this week. I sense that the panic is subsiding and companies are getting a better handle on budget impacts and what readjustments they'll have to make.

I expect some occasional downtime, but this is the only real unplanned downtime I've had in the last 15 years. It's been a good run and I'm not stressed about this hiccup, although I would prefer to know when it was going to end so I could enjoy the break a bit more.
