Most people don't know the meaning of the word, Niggardly.
A Washington DC mayoral staff member, David Howard, who had used the term "niggardly" in routine conversation in a staff meeting, was asked to resign. I'm sure most college educated people remember this little fiasco back in 1999. Even more recently, a grade school teacher has been terminated for the same reason.
The word, which means miserly or thrifty, traces its etymology back to the Scandinavian (Norse?) word, hnøgger

I have stroyed that model through many weeks of hard work. I cannot let it be destroyed after all that.

I sheepishly have to retract my first post along this topic. I recently answered a posting on Dice that PriceGrabber.com put up, and after a couple of interviews, I was suddenly in.

I finally settled down with something close to home. Not too terribly close, mind you, but close enough. Only problem is, they're also terribly cheap. Have you ever worked for someone so cheap they ask you to bring your own computers on the first day? And I'm not talking about the way it is with previous contracting jobs where I use my laptop everywhere I go. This is full-blown "We need you to use a distinctly separate monitor and keyboard so we can see what you're doing at all times."

Many books on finding your dream job would indicate that you have almost no control over the nicer jobs that exist out there. In fact, you get nominated not in the interview or application, but rather, on the golf course or fishing trip where you're not even present. Pointy Haired Boss (PHB) #1 asks PHB #2 if he happens to know anyone who has X set of skills. PHB #2 remembers some service you did for him and suggests that you might be the man for the job. When I say service, I don't neces

And he started every morning with a grueling hour's drive.
With coworkers one day he went to fetch some coffee blend,
At a quiet little Starbucks, on which programmers depend.
