Stanley, you and Anthony have good points, too; it just gets extremely tiresome when one HAS the requisite experience and training and can't even get an acknowledgment of a resume, cover letter, application and multiple references. Anthony; LS was posting jobs again recently; still no acknowledgment of resume. And this was just for entry-level crap that our kids know how to do, even if they're still in middle school.
WTF is a "Canonical Solutions Provider"? I thought I was sorta up-to-date on all the acronyms. And Paul; I was an English major and grad student and read the stuff in the original Old English: it ain't "beawolf" cluster, but Beowulf. He was kind of a tough dude. I'd love to work on one of dem projects someday, but hey, too old. Your kind invitation a while back to visit is recalled; I'll give ya a buzz after I retrieve wife from the airport Friday night; she's laughing at us because it's in the 70s there right now, and she's in the Sheraton's pool in Phoenix.
