The way things are going I will be lucky to see 65. Course this could all change if we ever get a pandemic flu or an outbreak of zombies. I dont think either will happen though...oh wait....whats this talk about swine flu?

My daily grind is network engineering in a lab environment. If crap is sailing along nicely, I surf the Net or do personal projects. Maybe some days I do zip. But all of that is canceled out by the days when the checkpoint firewall dies, the core router has a spanning tree loop, or some knuckle-head downloads a virus into the lab. Its not how many hours you work, but how effective you are in the hours you work. 'Course, I'm 4 years from retirement, so soon I could give a rats ass!

if you give 2 weeks notice, they pay you for the 2 weeks and ship you home. Short timers are bad for the morale of others. If you have done your job right, everything is documented so you dont need to be around. IS this good or bad? For me, after I've given notice, I don't want to be there anyway. Even if its a great job and co-workers. Heck, you've moved on so don't linger around the water cooler. Leave the building, get in your car, throw a BIG finger at the place and split!
