Well folks, I received a VERY nice offer of "perm" employment (yeah, I know...) from a local Minneapolis company. Nice salary and good bennies. I start Monday. No more contract work. Home every night. And I get to work in the latest technology.
Who'd a thunk it? Being able to get a good job (with only a month off work) in the current economy.
Maybe my Karma has improved....?
Congrats, Dennis! Glad to hear the happy news!!! So, when do you start?
FANTASTIC!!! Congratulations!
That's great news, congratulations Dennis.
Monday morning.
Congrats, Dennis. It is nice to have good news for a change. I know how much it will mean to you and your family to have you home. Way to go!
Dennis, that is super! Thanks for sharing some good news with us. We need all we can get. Good luck on the new job.
Great news, Congrats Dennis!
Hope this wont cut into your Timebomb time too much now
Don't forget us all on the way up man!
Preparedness, when properly pursued, is a way of life, not a sudden, spectacular program.
>>>And I get to work in the latest technology.
No! You mean........Burger King?
BWAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahaha
Sorry Dennis...couldn't resist
Congrats Big-time...ya deserve it!

Here's a pat on the back, a handshake, a hug, and

Cool, Dennis. That's great! Congratulations.....This'll make your holidays very nice.....
Yes!! Congrats, there is a good side to today!! Have been out of work for months...know how it must have been. Reg. hrs? Even better. We all needed some good news. Thanks for sharing Dennis, know you have had QUITE the time lately (in every sense of the word probably).
The TRUTH Is Out There Keep Searching! Start by going WITHIN.
The only difference between the Republican and Democratic parties is the velocities with which their knees hit the floor when corporations knock on their door. That's the only difference.
It is sooooo nice to hear some GOOD news for a change. I'm thrilled for you!!!
God Bless, Susan
Great News Dennis!!!!!
That means you have 72 hrs to get the new server up and running
And you are home every night to unravel this mess
All kidding aside, you are a special fellow. Methinks the Lord is looking after you too.
Blessings.....Tommy R...
Excellent! Hail to the Chief!! That company is getting a jewel.

Dennis,
Wonderful, wonderful news!!!!!!! I am so very happy for you.
Now at last a regular life. Home nights is the greatest!!!
ALLLLLLLRIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Back to work!
Good karma is just a foreign word for God's Blessing. But either way it means the same thing.
A speck in the spectrum...WFG
Congrats! Like I've been saying...there's work out there if you're talented!

I'm so happy for you, Dennis! You certainly deserve this, contract work is tough on family life and stressfull to boot.
But it does give you freedom.
One question. A lot of employers are image conscious. Could your job be threatened if your employer became unhappy about your prominent involvement in this (ahem) unusual forum?
Could pressure be applied by agents of TPTB to get you in trouble on the job, to attempt to poison your professional reputation with accusation of links to a "time bomb" forum? (You know what I'm getting at, you know how journalists can blow things out of proportion.)
I guess if it came down to it you could always go back to what you were doing before, but if need be for the good of you and your family, can TB2K survive without your direct involvement as primary sysop and board caretaker?
Or is that a meaningless question?
Hope I'm just being cautiously paranoid as usual, and that it's just darn good that you're part of the 9-to-5 gravy train system like most folks. "Benefits" are good to have.
I was so glad to notice that it wasn't a job at the Sears Tower--I understand there are quite a few available these days!
Well, jee, we really enjoy having your full-time services on the board, but if you think you might enjoy monetary remuneration . . .I guess we'll just have to understand.
Congrats, Dennis
Yes its great news! And God knows that we all need it and take joy in your getting the job. As far as Karma, yep...bet you even have some good karma left in the karma credit bank. Look what you have done for all of us, ...and Stu....and Sat...and many others we will never hear about. You deserve it and I am so pleased that you got it. Hugs

CONGRATULATIONS DENNIS
I am so happy for you. I know how much you'll enjoy being home every night with your family. This couldn't have happened to a more deserving man. You have much to be thankful for.
Dennis, that's wonderful! Congratulations!

Hey Dennis,
Great news... Think they have another job for another unemployed computer person here... Arms don't work well, but have mouth with mic and will travel... I just paid off my farm in full and prepaid IL house taxes to the turn of $14.9 K for the current payment and next 2 payments... I've never felt or been so broke before in all my life...
I'm so glad you got the job with all the bennies and normal hours... retract: normal hours if this is a salaried position...
Best of luck...
Kath
Congratulations, Dennis! It is so nice to hear something good and it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!
If we aren't showing a little love, His love, then what are we doing calling ourselves Christians?
Psalm 73: 25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
Congratulations, Dennis! That is fantastic news!
Mucho congratulations!!!!!

I'll be out of business in 30 to 60 days if something doesn't change soon...
Started looking for a "perm" job again too.

Congrats Dennis. So glad to hear your good news. I am also hoping this is just the beginning of good news for all the rest of us on TB who have ...ahem... very irregular or no income. Hope and pray yours is just the first of all on TB who will in the next few days find regular income to support their families.
GREAT NEWS!!!!1

so happy for you Dennis! i know that is one major worry off your shoulders.
here`s a 'toast' to you with my fresh cup of coffee this morning!
Yeeee ha! Congratulations! I'm happy for you Dennis.
Dennis,
Congratulations! That is great news.
I just have one question. On the job application, where it says “List Other Skills and Work Assets” did you write in “Continuous consultation with the nation’s leading experts on everything?”
