Only relocation is across town. I am going to work for the Snow Removal unit.

This winter, it looks like our pilot areas will be Minneapolis, Buffalo, Denver, Boston and Chicago.

Long damn way from Lower Alabama. Talk about irony,,,,a LA boy moving $100M in snow! Who would have thunk it?

Dude, congrats..... and you should make a case for making Cleveland a pilot area. We can discuss the snow removal logistics at this place. :)

I am emailing my new boss now. I am strongly advocating Cleveland as an area where I should devote my attention.

Maybe you'll get to see the "Ice Palace" in St. Paul, yet.

So ya wanna move snow. Just get a big snowball fight started. Set up target areas for the snowballs to impact and give plenty of prizes. You can save millions on equipment.

LMDAO, I just got a call and was asked if it would be feasible to include Cleveland in the pilot.

I almost choked on a lifesaver before I blurted out "I don't see why not".

What a day. The division I work for has taken the position that the unit I am leading takes precedence over the other unit and balk at my release.

I suddenly find my self in the vortex of Fortune 500 politics.

I guess the only solution is to find outside interest. Then I can tell both business units here to get their checkbook out if they want me.

Hell, I am actually depressed this afternoon.

I guess I really need to put it in perspective. Hell, lot's of things are worse. Just sort of bummed me out. But it's not over. No telling what will happen.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A life-like prosthetic #&%!$ called the Whizzinator and other products promising to help illegal drug users pass urine tests provoked U.S. lawmakers on Wednesday to take legal action with subpoenas of manufacturers.
Lawmakers objected to attempts to circumvent drug tests with products such as The Whizzinator, a fake #&%!$ that can provide a flow of clean urine "again and again, anytime, anywhere you need it!" according to the Web site www.whizzinator.com.

I've been offered a position with Environmental Remediation (DEC)in Albany.

thanks ya'll

i'm switching from civil to environmental engineering.

the job will probably not be as fun as my current one and my commute is going from 10 minutes to 1 hour but it's a decent raise and my current position was gonna get moved to albany in the near future anyway.

Might as well get promoted and a raise and beat the holiday rush.

Congratulations.

Our son is studying environmental engineering at Cal Poly. We're hoping he'll finish one day and get off the parental pay roll. Your news is reassuring.
