    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.

    It sure would be a loss for the VB community and forum. :)

    I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that.

                          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?

                                      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?

                                      The CEO's wife started stalking me, and I felt uncomfortable about it.
