being in the market with even a minimal position holds your interest...
Sold out SLV for a small profit at $22.99. Now waiting to get back in!

Beats commuting back and forth to Miami for 30 years! Or..... having to meet an unrealistic deadline, bringing up a computer process that no one will ever use.

I can remember when I worked for Eastern Airlines, in the computer dept. My supervisor used to keep a bulletin board composed of 3" x 5" cards, showing all of the projects that were pending under his "management". I went in begging for one of his cards. I wanted MORE work! So..... he looked at his cards and finally found one. It was to change the distribution on a report, so that the report would to a new guy, now responsible for the report. It was just a damn distribution change that had been up on his board for a year!

Good grief. A five minute clerical task! I signed onto the mainframe and looked for the report. It didn't exist! I called the user's department. They said that they had waited so long for the "5 minute" change that they decided to re-create the report as a new module, themselves, so that they could send it to the new guy.

Working for the man........
