Comment Severence + Unemployment = Awesomeness (Score 1) 1245
This may be a little off-topic, but:
I worked at a very large company that essentially housed marketing information (names, addresses, even hardware setups home their home machines) for high-powered clients (black&decker, ATI, panasonic).
My job was to write perl scripts that reformatted incoming files so they could be loaded into our mainframe. Needless to say it was less than chanllenging, plus the end result of my work (along with everyone elses') was that people got more junk mail. I was going to quit, but low and behold I was laid-off!
Hello, severence package. Hello unemployment. It was like a 9 month paid-vacation!
In closing, I highly recommend this if you can finagle it. Then you can drink as much PBR you want, without your manager saying its counter productive.
