      At General Dynamics. :) The job is supposed to be converted to civil service in August. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing....

                      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.

                        Sanity matters more than money when you've already got food, shelter and clothing. If John still has a mortgage, then I'd say it would be unwise to try to make that call by posting his intentions in a public website.

                            You know, I was with you right up to the part where you used the word wise in the same paragraph as John... :-D And yeah, just for the record, I live by the credo that you should never say anything electronically that you wouldn't want to see on the 6:00 news, so I applaud your sentiments.

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

                                          I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that.
                                          All Toronto weekends should be extremely wet until we get it automated in regular forums, not just QA.
