He may have found he has issued himself a severe CLM (Career Limiting Move).

Depends on the VP?

limiting... I have maxed out right side of the curb of my salary survey. there is nowhere left to go, but out.

the recruiter calls and emails still stream in continously, and I have plenty of references and friends in this town. I am not worried. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

There is not point in living unless oyou take some time to enjoy life while you are still young enough to.

Welcome back, Paul. You might want to check Gary Dawkins. He haunts the job opportunities forum here. I have never followed up on any of his offerings, so I can not comment on how good any of them are, but he seems to span the Northeast, anyway. He may have contacts out West, as well.

This is my opinion as well. My wife and kids think Obama is the Flying Spaghetti Monster....but I keep telling them that even if he were (and he's not...he's the antichrist) he still won't do shit because of congress.

Thanksgiving is every day, you can't be late!

Only the hopelessly parochial see giving thanks as having a fixed time.
