I look forward to IG's opinions on the FDIC. :)

I think they sound a lot like Deep Purple.

Thanks - the last two years since the company I left merged, I've been pretty unhappy, and I think it led into a spiral of other issues. I hope this change will help me get out of that death spiral.

Good for you Athos.  Way to make a leap.  I am keenly interested in how it plays out.

Had a phone interview with the Evil Empire of Seattle (the coffee one, not the video game one, software monopoly one, or book one) that went really well. They want to schedule an in-person panel interview as soon as possible after Thanksgiving, which will unfortunately be a few weeks because I'm going to Maryland for the first two week sin December. Still, I have some hope.

I have been to a meeting this week, wherein, I indicated my desire to come off the raod, and "drive a desk."

As it turned out, I may have timed it with extreme serendipity.

Now waiting on a call.....

Good luck to you both!  May you each have a little extra to give Thanks for this year (even if you are on the wrong continent, Lynda <grin>)!

Good luck Sig.  I have a friend that used to work for the evil coffee empire a few years back in the desktop support group.  He liked testing the new items from the test kitchen as I remember.

Desk driving can be hazardous as well,  but I hope you get what you want.

Will they let you concealed carry at the office?

Good question. What they don't know won't hurt them, but I should like to find out the answer subtly.

We've installed a Christmas tree in the breakroom.

I asked if it was hackable.

This suggests I am starting to fit in here.

I gained a compliment today for correctly using "students'" and "student's" in the same document.

He said he had never seen anyone do that in the same document correctly before, after five years as a graduate student, 1 year as a high school instructor, and three years at this job.

Maybe I got slightly more out of DINFOS than the average graduate.
