Yay! My fellow rotary owner is still a rotary owner! I was afraid that you might have to give up the car after losing your job, but it sounds like you won't have a problem keeping it. I've been toying with the idea of buying an RX-8 myself, but I've been able to resist the urge so far. (Although that new Phantom Blue color they have looks schaweeeeeet!)

Glad to hear you've got plenty of leads on a new job! And that Computer Forensics course sounds like a lot of fun. I've been thinking about doing something like that myself - getting a degree that's actually directly related to my job. Acxiom will pay for a good portion of my tuition if I do, so I just need to decide if I really want to, and then see what's available here at UALR.

I would've responded sooner, but I've been working pretty much non-stop for the past three days. The project I've been working on is finally transitioning into production (where everything runs automatically when the clients drop the files each week), and we had to run a catch-up update to cover the four months worth of data that have been building up while we were in the implementation phase. It was supposed to start Thursday afternoon... but by Friday morning, nothing had run. The first production run was supposed to be Saturday morning, so I was up until 3 AM trying to make the catch-up run correctly.

Alas, it couldn't be done - there were just too many bugs in my flows. Fortunately, shen the client dropped the files on Sat, they didn't run either, due to a problem in the automation scripts. And our automation specialist is on vacation all next week. XD

In the end, I finally got the catch-up completely finished at 7 PM today, after my weekend was completely ruined. I think I might call in sick tomorrow - they'd probably believe me. ^^;
