We were just given the word that there's no telecommuting allowed.  Which
sucks.  Later, I may ask anyway.  If not, that will begin to slowly push
me out the door...

Otherwise, I'm learning a lot.  Their software processes are neanderthal
and I hope to evolve that.  And, again, if I cannot, it will be another
reason to look elsewhere.

Speed helps, but it's the people opening doors and drivers trying to beat
out the bicyclists to the intersections that I've always found to be the
real problem.  Oh, and drivers and pedestrians just not seeing you at all.
