Oh, and I got a job offer! :D
Even worse...developing software for a major bank.
*winces* I did banking for years. You know people get very irate about problems with their money, right?

You sound exactly like the Puffinman when his TW game goes kaput.

Thanks! *HUGS* back. :)
It is a job that I would like. I'll be building up my Java and SQL skills, so that's definitely a plus. It's a contract for 1 year, with the possibility for permanent hire, so that's new for me. I have to talk it over with me wife, so we can decide whether we're comfortable with everything.

Very aware. The company I work at gets sued more often than I would have thought because sites think we cost them business when their pumps go offline.

All war is deception and misdirection, huh?

Oh yeah. I saw that comment too.
I keep forgetting to turn off the RSS feed for Sebastian's posts, but he gets into the most interesting "discussions".

You know, I'd hate to see Sun Tzu's principles applied to the commercial world.

Sun Tzu's principles are all over the business world. Contract work in banking isn't as bad as a perm job. Contractors get to come in, throw down code, and leave while the perms get all the 3 a.m. calls and nastygrams from the branches. Contracting is the way to go nowadays.

I prefer to think of myself as a Non-Commissioned Digital Chaos Instigator.

Good morning, all. What did I miss?
Well, Arlen was consumed by a swarm of mutant locusts unleashed by the evil genius known only as The Admiral. Meanwhile, Rand came from nowhere to wallop Trey across the head with a tire iron in retaliation for a bad tip regarding the Kentucky Derby. And across town, Blanche was forced into a race against time to try and stave off defeat by the alien.....No, Wait! That's my soap opera.

Ah! Yes. Were you already familiar with it or did you just give it a listen? From a music theory perspective, he's doing all sorts of things in there that just shouldn't be possible, but there they are. And it's just exciting music.
He actually has a lot of pretty diabolically-themed stuff. Like the Mephisto Waltz and the Totentanz (Dance of Death).

It wasn't until I got to the name "Blanche" that I realized what he was talking about.
So, Sebastian, are you upset that he gave away the results? Did you TiVo the news yesterday with plans to watch it tonight? ;)

It is a job that I would like. I'll be building up my Java and SQL skills, so that's definitely a plus. It's a contract for 1 year, with the possibility for permanent hire, so that's new for me. I have to talk it over with me wife, so we can decide whether we're comfortable with everything.
Ah...there we go. I have my answer.
So...congrats again!

So I read.
Though CJ won't let me into the clubhouse, so I must not be a part of the "cool kids". I suspect his reluctance has something to do with my stunning good looks. ;)
Cool kids versus hot kids... FIGHT!

What if you're both?

Taig: YAY! You're back! Congrats on the job offer too; hope it works out for you. Saw your credentials on some of the Sunken Empires stuff on KQ too -- congrats again!
...My players should NOT have amnesia as their backstory. It gives me carte blanche for their background. MAN, is she gonna be surprised to find out she's married. Wonder if she tells her new boyfriend. MWAH-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAA!
Well, at least she's not discovering she used to be a male kobold before she ran afoul of a polymorph spell & a bump on the head. :)
...No, Wait! That's my soap opera.
What channel is that on? Sounds better than 95% of everything else on TV. {curses broken DTV box for umpteenth time}

Sometimes he's just contrary for Chaos sake. Maybe employ some Looney Tunes-inspired reverse psychology?

Your rants remind me of this Simpsons scene.
