well, hey, if you do systems admin (for either NT or Unix) then
we have an opening.... ;-)
It turns out that my boss freaked out when I suggested that I might be
leaving and she convinced me to stay.
that said, I found a place in oak park (a chicago burb) to rent.
thanks all for the pointers and tips on jobs and moving. double
thanks for doug for the possible offer for a place (chuck -- I
won't stand in your way on this one ;-) ).
At the Astoria, there was a couple I met at the after-party who
said that they were from oak park. if you are on the list, email
me? if not -- anyone remember who they were? (in the chaos, i managed
to forget their names.)
on more random notes -- Chicago Hawkwind fans -- where are you?
I know that there are some on the list......
Get together for a party sometime?
