Maybe next time there is a SHARE or MVS EXPO in NYC we should have him supply goodies for SCIDS or the vendor area. Unless he wants to stay as far away from IT as he can.
-----Original Message----- daver++ Well, I didn't ask that one. I think that it is safe to say that he is not ready for that yet though. He appeared to be training an employee last night, though, so I would say that it is a step in that direction. I would preface this with the fact that the man is clearly Belgium, including a decent accent. Which isn't to say that he doesn't speak fine English, but just to illustrate that I believe there is a sense of nationalism here with the food. Which, by the way, is quite good. Yummy even. Ahem, I digress. He told me in no uncertain terms that outsourcing and/or fears of the same had absolutely zero influence on his career decision. I would say that the above statement from Tom "I think this is just someone who decided he'd enjoy selling waffles a lot more than the day-to-day grind if IT," is spot on. He found working for IBM to be boring and monotonous. It wasn't even specifically IBM, he cited corporate culture as just being something that he didn't want to be part of for the rest of his life, although he did also certainly lament the daily grind of IT. He chose to sell waffles because he was looking to do something fun with his life, he said. So there you have it, a slice of life explained. That and $4 will get you an excellent wafel on Broadway near Spring St. Look for the little yellow truck. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
