He's spent a few years in a bank, so he's gotten his business seasoning, and now might be looking. I've forwarded the specs to him, I'll let you know if he's interested.

Post #259,506 by broomberg 6/20/06 11:38:05 PM Reply	Oh, and a couple of weeks ago I thought I was My boss's boss moved aside, and another took over. I thought the guy was insane, but I've come to appreciate his insanity. As I might have mentioned, before, brilliant, LOTS of industry experience, etc. But I thought my particular skill set scared them and they did not want me to create anything that they would then depend on me to maintain, which is a reasonable attitude when you can't be sure an employee is going to stick around. On the other hand, I have a "junior" who is fine on maintaining my stuff. And others within the company are pushing hard for me to do things, which in turn puts me at odds with my own boss. Not a good position to be in. I'll probably know for sure how it'll shake out in a couple of week (Beep bash time frame), but it seems to be OK.
