Hah! When I worked in Minneapolis I always felt sorry for the people in Chicago. Now I'm living in the hinterlands and loving every minute of it. Our rush hour lasts all of 10 minutes and my office is a 15 minute jog from the National Forest boundary. It doesn't get much better than that.

First winter storm put on his fedora and gloves and headed to work. Said about half-way there noticed he couldn't feel his hands or feet. Fortunately, there was a parking garage on the way and the manager said 'Man come in here you're freezing to death!' Gave him a cup of 'fortified' coffee and then a lift in the tow truck the last few blocks. Said he typed up a new resume that night.

Of course my employer's office location is a happy accident, and that could change for any number of reasons. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
