You could say I've created a job vacancy.

Post #40,493 by Meerkat 5/30/02 8:50:36 AM Reply	You could say I've created a job vacancy. Because my current employer now needs someone to replace me. I resigned today. First time I've actually resigned from a job, which was a much more nerve-wracking experience than the job interviews, go figure. Yep, I'm changing jobs. Still doing similar Data Warehousing things, but it's a slightly expanded role with more design/data modelling stuff. The Upside: It's in the city, so it'll take about 30 mins off my travelling time each day. The Ummside: It's Windows. (The server is, the database isn't. Phew.) So, having set my principles aside, you may power up your ostracisation guns now. :) Only a dinky pay rise (for which, in this economic environment, I'm quite grateful) but it seems to offer a lot more possibilities. Like using all my power of persuasion to get a Unix box of some sort in there :-) On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.

(Thus making the mother withdraw, at least temporarily, from the labour [Heh! ;^] market, y'see?) Too bad it wasn't -- now I didn't get to point out how you'd also increased the future number of employment-seekers! :-) Christian R. Conrad Of course, who am I to point fingers? I'm in the "Information Technology" business, prima facia evidence that there's bats in the bell tower. -- [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=27764\|Andrew Grygus]

Not there's anything wrong with beaing a Dad, after all, I'm closely related to one ... :-) but, it's not for me. For some reason some people have been taken aback when I've said there are no kiddies in my future. Can't quite figure this out. The argument was something like 'well if everyone decided to stop having children, the human race would die!' Well duh, but I'm one, not everyone. I mean really, they should be grateful there will be no mini-Johns running around! :-) On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.
