Where do you work?

I hear that lots of major IT companies have already or are going to out source, programming, manufacturing, engineering, lots of computer related stuff. You worried?

Not about that. Rather hard and extremely stupid for an ISP to outsource network engineering, methinks.

Customer: The internet connection is down.
ISP: Seems to be. Our outsourced network engineer is due to fly in from India any moment now!
Customer: What?!
ISP: Well, he needs console access to this equipment --- "core rowter" I think he called it --- and can't get to it remotely....
Customer: And how long will that take?
ISP: Not sure. Found 'em the cheapest plane ticket from India. Should be taking off about now. Hope immigration lets him through.
Ex-Customer: (unprintable)

In other words, I strongly encourage our competitors to run their networks this way.

Now, OTOH, something to worry about is the liquidity of the company.

Cool. I don't consider myself a musician, though. I'm not that good, and I can't write music. 'Sides, this is like, church organ, the least cool instrument on earth. (I can play piano, though.)

That's neat though.

what? Organs can be pretty danm cool if you know how to put together a string of odd sounding chords. Plus i'm a really shitty musician too ... if you go to my website and go the the about me page you'll find a link that will take you to my guitar playing ... now thats really bad musicianmenship at work ... did i just invent a new word?

I work at home, on my computer. My last real steady job was at a theme park, before that I worked at a lumber yard, and before that I worked at a diaper factory. I like to think I've moved up in the world.
