Hi Robert,
I do like my job. We're doing the technical work, so I'm happy.
I'm puzzled about the programming market, because despite all the
capable programmers such as yourself who are having trouble finding
openings, computers still screw up a lot.
For example, my wife's company now provides pay stubs over the web.
Unfortunately, some word-wrap issue in a table cell makes it impossible
to tell which dollar amount corresponds to which tax. The IT person's
reply was "there's no way to fix that".
I don't know what's up with these guys, but in this economy I wouldn't
want to suggest I was unable to fix some bug. I'd be afraid the boss
would say, well "Bob here says he knows how. Give him a tour of the
office on your way out."
Well, enough griping.
I hope you find a good match soon.
