I'm hoping to give the Power onTap presentation ... haven't heard anything from Michael yet about it... though I did notice he mentioned onTap specifically in the announcement of the call for papers. :) So I guess that means he considers it popular enough to name (if not necessarily to fill a slot). > I almost ended up getting divorced for this very > issue.

Getting ahead financially, and > having nice toys, means shit if the people you > love aren't there when you reach your goal. I was with you right up to "having nice toys"... My only reasons for wanting to get ahead financially are to finalize my divorce and hopefully to eventually join a commune ( http://www.zendik.org as an example ). And it's a mutual goal for Tiff and myself... toys don't enter into it. > Well man to tell you the truth, if you are > primarily happy there I wouldn't move.

Yeah, that's a large part of my predicament... although in all honesty, when I have a permanent job, even if I don't care much for the job (environment, etc.) I'm reluctant to consider taking a different job... I've always heard that the "passive job seeker" is a hot commodity (someone who has a current job but continues to scan the classifieds) and I've always thought that was pretty counter-intuitive... but even when I don't like my current job, the job add that prompts me to send a resume is a real rarety. It's not entirely for self-serving reasons (like not wanting to deal with physically moving again, etc.) but also out of a sense of loyalty which may or may not be misplaced. My impression is that a lot of employers have little-to-no loyalty toward their employees -- as evidenced by the high number of instances in which a current employer will counter an offer from another company just so they can keep them on staff while looking for a replacement so they can screw the employee for daring to consider leaving. You know, the double standard: absolute loyalty is expected from you -- absolute lack of loyalty is given in return. I know not every environment is like that -- I know sitemanageware isn't and neither was CIN, so I'm not entirely jaded. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:166074 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
