Anyway OMW - master baiter at work huh ... Good job (baiting arguments is what I meant) - though I agree with the leaving CA in droves comment, but Pandy shouldn't be given anything but purple ... in very small pieces.
I actually still work as a Unix app support monkey though I am awaiting getting fired anytime, but I do welding up sheite on stuff on the side. And yes its nasty but I do it partly out of choice. The time and place is what I dont choose. They have jobs and lives too, so I work around it.
I also do stuff to the 2 busted cars/trucks I have which I am too cheap to pay a real mechanic (sorta) I do have a real mechanic who I have to help fix my own car. But he'd do like $1000 bucks worth of repair for like $10 ... O0 ... cos usually he's running about barking orders at me and fixing cars for his "real" customers ... hey I said the co workers suck ... :thumb: ...
Cool.
