Well, today was my last day at Microsoft, and as I was driving home, I got a call from my contracting firm, telling me that I had nailed a position I interviewed for over in the MS Exchange group. I start Tuesday, with a raise.

There's also a good possibility that this job could go permanant. Ironic, isn't it, that an Iwetheyer could have a job at Microsoft...

Whether to be happy for you or cry for you.

MS Exchange, of all things?

In the meanwhile, if you happen to run across someone in the SQL Server group (he's been at M$ for 5 years in the Jet DB Engine group) named Conor Cunningham, tell him I said "Hi."

A MS job is better than no job at all. At least you are earning a pay check. Are you getting stock options too? ;)

New Nope.
Still a contractor.

Bug note: IE 5.01sp2 - tabbing is broken from the various fields - I can't tab out of Subject or Your Comment. Might be broken elsewhere, too.

You are now within the land of the never-ending, never quite.. right, never-Enough! Service Pack !!
(not to mention - the patch to fix the Last SP and...)


:-\ufffd

Some design ideas to endear you to new boss (?)

Hmmm - a new 20 MB kernel32 replacement? running Linux for all I/O and leaving Windoze to handle Clippy and Snoopy - the XP-doggy? what collects.. stuff.. on Everyone in:

"kennel32.poad" and sends it home thru
"ratout01.vbx" via "sendshit.vb"

Take the 'X' outta Exchange: "E-change": the M$ tax on every packet sent anywhere. (How much is a billion pennies? per hour?)

I gots more but they be \ufffd fer M$-bux in advance. We software designers are High-piced whores; can't give it away and keep our market too.
