    the time and the offer was contigent on my cutting it, so I declined still expected to become a "rock star" at that time. :-)

    :) The place I'm at now has sometimes referred to its employees as "rock stars".
    Red flag #1! :-)

    i would imagine this place as being fairly new, with a lot of young people and they dont usually pay that well.

    just dont talk about your bbs the whole time or ham radio.

    I was quite proud of the fact that, from 1991 until 2012, someone at the companies I worked for would call me "Poindexter".


    ... Can you hear me?

    I picture 4 lead guitarists on stage trying to crowd each other out...


    ... How did you find this place?

    It's certainly relevant to a lot of pertinent work, but I wouldn't want someone randomly opening a source file and judging my skills/style based on it. Some of that code is nearly 30 years old and not something I feel is a good example of my current skills or style. And of course, I didn't write all of it myself.

    True, and good points.

    There's a nerdy guy at my work who looks like Sherman from the old Peabody and Sherman cartoon. But we didn't feel Sherman was funny enough a name so we just call him Peabody. Now, 15 yrs later, the whole company thinks his name is Peabody.


    Thanks,
