Re: Adventures in IT contracting
I for one, have enjoyed watching you go from a guy working night tech support, to a professional in your field, and the way that you have managed to kick unemployment in the teeth, repeatedly.

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.

Thanks to everyone for the good wishes and support...Netpackrat wrote:I for one, have enjoyed watching you go from a guy working night tech support, to a professional in your field, and the way that you have managed to kick unemployment in the teeth, repeatedly.
I have to say that it is in no small part to Chris and some of his writing and advice. I know that he has been frustrated and exasperated with me at times but he has been the closest thing to a mentor that I have had in my adult life and for that I owe him more than I can possibly repay. So for that, I thank you Chris!
I also owe thanks to BobbyK for also keeping me a bit sane in times where things were a bit rough.

Grats on the new gig.
It's kind of the point (though not Chris specific) here I think. This place is a lot, but it isn't an echo chamber.I know that he has been frustrated and exasperated with me at times

And, brickbats at Chris' ex-CFO. Christ on a cracker, what an asshole.

time to unleash Aesop with some ditch weed seeds and a certain CFO's home address.
