To answer for Richard Halsey, he and I were, at one time, part of that “Mid-American Opportunity.”  Since that time, however, it has degenerated into a bunch of code-slingers who don’t really have time to develop an architecture nor a battle plan.  Ergo, Admiral “Bubba” Halsey’s precautionary statements.  Not only that, but the pay scale has dropped to the minimum wage bracket so that only locals would be considered.  You can’t really pay travel expenses (especially from California) on $35 an hour total income – 40 hours max but you’re expected to work 50 hours; the last 10 without pay.   Stay in the Land of Liquid Sunshine and wait for Spring.  :-)   SDG jco     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Charette Sent: Friday, February 13, 2004 3:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: JESS: Anybody looking for a rules job ??   So is there a job or not ?!? If so, how do we proceed to move forward. If there is no detail available, what is the point of that thread?   -- rmc  -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rich Halsey Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2004 2:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: JESS: Anybody looking for a rules job ?? We may have to wait until the dust settles (DoJ ??) before any details come out. But, if anyone is looking at taking a job in that region they may want to ask a LOT of questions first, i.e., look before you leap and all that glitters is not gold. Or, if you are REALLY into PAIN, then just jump right in !!!   For myself, I would really prefer to work on a rules job that is managed by REAL software engineering professionals (not hackers) and where they want to adhere to a sane approach (not READY, FIRE, AIM !).   Anyhoo, that is my two cents. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jason Morris To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2004 3:05 PM Subject: RE: JESS: Anybody looking for a rules job ??   No kidding?  What happened?  (And why would you think that anyone would want to pick up the gauntlet?)   What company was it?  -JM ___ Jason Morris Morris Technical Solutions [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.morristechnicalsolutions.com fax/phone: 503.692.1088 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Rich Halsey Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2004 12:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: JESS: Anybody looking for a rules job ??   There is a rules project in O'Fallon, Illinois looking for people. The last person that I knew working on the project just left after she was reduced to tears (on the last day - at the last minute) by management that must be a cross between Dilbert and the Marquis de Sade. God, there must be some awfully vicious and sadistic people there.       "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of those who threaten it"
