          I know someone who works for them at the air force base nearby. They are laying everyone off.

              I'm not sure that wouldn't be cause for celebration given the tales he's been telling. Sometimes sanity is more important than money. Not often. Just sometimes.

                                    My first programming job was at General Dynamics. :-D Actually I was an engineer, but since I designed automated test equipment I had to program everything I designed.

                                      Have you prepared answers to all the usual questions? Describe a time you've had conflict with another person and how you resolved the situation. Why are you leaving your current position? What are you looking for from this company? Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Do I look fat in this?

                                        Best of luck John, hope you get it.

                                        All right, you guys, I got eight crates of Ipecac from Mort. All on my tab. Now, whoever goes the longest without puking gets the last piece of pie in the fridge.

                                          That's when they are changing their name to Cyberdyne Systems, isn't it? Good luck!

                                          What I thought, "General Dynamics" has some ring to it.
