Ok, so NebBozos hire me but can't actually provide a desk
or a workstation
or get a user ID two weeks later
so I'm home again
working where the 'puters work
bhut fortunately just before the tornadoes
(why does James Bhond always babble wbout toranados?)
struck
but with $50 charge for overweight luggage
(united notices, USAir doesn't...)
(or was it the notebooks..._)
so anyway I'm, $out of Omaha...

Welcome back, Gary. But does this mean you are on temp. hiatus, to go
back when logistics are fixed, or have they just cancelled the contract?

No to both: now I'm to be working at home, except they still haven't
managed to get a user ID set up. Maybe I should have volunteered for
sysadmin
for a day, or something. Anyways, once they get a user ID ready, then
I'll
call their 800-number modem and login from Bingoland.

Here I at least I have a pewter...out there I had to use a laptop I'd
borrowed
and taken along.

Thanks for the well-wishes, we'll have to go get some beer sometime...
