Dad and I had a series of emails back n' forth this past week. Now that I'm on the lookout for a civilian-side tech job, he and I have had plenty to talk about professionally. What follows is possibly the best conversation the two of us have had in years.

You should talk to my buddy Jesus over at Microsoft. He's a dev, so I guess he's one of those coders who stays up late on projects, but he likes it. He gets time off, sees his family in CT a couple times a year, makes his own hours, etc. It's not quite what you're into, but maybe he can give you some leads.

He's also a Scot and a drunkard, as Mike will attest to, but he's a great guy.

Scots + alcohol + computers = awesome. I'm hired.

lol, you can't just hire yourself!

WATCH me. It's Microsoft. Bill Gates is too busy watching his billions of dollars to pay attention to who's in the office.

utoh! if COUCHeater says he's a drunkard, you KNOW you're in trouble :)
