RE: At the risk of sounding like an AS/400 rah-rah...

 Zak, I am with you.  The video games pale beside the fun of figuring out
why WRDWRAP was bugging me, plus I get the advice of World Experts.  It
surely beats the tar out of watching Joe Millionaire,

Alright, now it's getting personal! :)~
 
FYI, I just got rid of the last girl, and I'm enjoying the lull. The eZine
focuses on music, so I find myself at a lot of concerts. I enjoy reading and
attending Shakespearean events. I'm a fan of independent films. I'm a member
of the Porsche club. I enjoy fishing. I watch football. I drink beer. I do
get out.
 
I neither attempt to get, nor care if I get, any "thank$" from my employer.
I got all the thanks I needed when I received the job offer. It doesn't
satisfy my craving to learn and explore, so I continue that on my own time.
Doing that is what got me this job and the ones before it. I've been a
workaholic, but it is paying off. Who knows when I'll be in the market for a
new job. I want my skills sharp. And strangely enough, it honestly is "fun"
to me.
 
And just imagine the look you get in an interview when you start talking
about the AS/400 you have at home and all the things you've done with it.
