    Local press (not the one quoted) claims that Amazon are closing their existing centre in Glenrothes, so I'm wondering if this is 750 new jobs (unlikely) @ Dunfermline or how many of those 750 are going to be filled by folks from the closed centre down the road.

    Might be some Windows/PC bashing stuff - keeping the conveyors running, desktop support, etc. Don't think that they'll be anything more high-brow than that - after all, it's only a warehouse - albeit a big one!

    Nice one Amazon! (No sarcasm intended)

    Career status: still enjoying my new career in DevOps, but it's keeping me busy...
