Respect is priceless. Although difficult to go to the store and buy a loaf of bread with it. Everyone on the list will keep their eyes and ears open for you and the others who are looking. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: "Richards.Bob" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: [OT] Not exactly the best Friday off topic post Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2007 09:21:43 -0400 Richard, I am a realist. Besides, no one likes sour grapes. I was gainfully employed at a good salary for 5 years, my longest tenure as a permanent employee. Now I am looking for a good opportunity to ply my skills for an employer that can put them to good use. When the news was handed down, some individuals were escorted from the building. The fact that I was not and still retain a powerful userid is a small testament to my character and work ethic. Hopefully, my next position will allow me to continue to sell the strengths of System z without apology, and at the same time, exploit the technology present on distributed platforms too.
