New Tried that
But giant faceless corporation couldn't send me a letter, I sent them one but they ignored it.

You can't win. So I don't play.

As a result of this, I no longer loan money (front expenses) for employers. Its put off a fair number of bean counters but I just stand firm and say that if they want me to travel, they have to pay up front.

So far its caused grumbling and resulted in advance checks being cut.


Smalltalk is dangerous. It is a drug. My advice to you would be don't try it; it could ruin your life. Once you take the time to learn it (to REALLY learn it) you will see that there is nothing out there (yet) to touch it. Of course, like all drugs, how dangerous it is depends on your character. It may be that once you've got to this stage you'll find it difficult (if not impossible) to "go back" to other languages and, if you are forced to, you might become an embittered character constantly muttering ascerbic comments under your breath. Who knows, you may even have to quit the software industry altogether because nothing else lives up to your new expectations.

New Welcome brother
Made IBM cut a check for some samples of a (electrical) "contact enhancing" chemical. I wouldn't accept their PO with multi-week settle date. They paid.

Anonymity - I think that's what brings out the execrable BS buck passing, from a random phone line within the great Corporate womb.
