@kdfrawg Quite so. I'd love to be hired by the company I'm actually working for, and not just being an external consultant all the time.

Best machine translation of the day:
"Controller input OK. (Without any good or button fart of)"

I have weird hobbies. Like being on tech-related podcasts every now and then.

I could have misheard, as I'm often under the influence when I'm talking to my friends in Britain. ?

To make matters worse, he appears to be making his "brand" international.

I believe the British term is "a complete bell end"or perhaps "a huge knob". Any of our many British friends should correct me if I am wrong. :)

I hear ya'! Wouldn't mind working in the forest, but the education/training takes long and I'm unsure as to the long term viability of the profession.

Yup, that sounds about right. I used iTunes and that did the job too, although I get along with iTunes more than the average human, it would seem. :)

Totally! And just imagine all the fresh air and exercise.

Since they downsized me in February of 2016, I've been getting better jobs in nearly unrelated fields. Can't get worse than what I used to have, unless I go to work in a call center.

Now I might get to work in a Network Operation Center. ?

Oh that! I remember you have explained that system before. Seems to be an utter mess, designed by incompetent committee. ?

Wish I could help you, but I'm no programmer. I can pretend to be Deanna Troi if necessary.
