Don't. I don't even want to hear you say that, man. People love ya, remember? :)

I'd send you a few bucks myself, but I barely have enough for myself right now with this huge move looming over my head. In the meantime, I'll put my feelers out for jobs for you.

Hi lcuk,

Don't go like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_the_lucky_stiff it is pretty normal to change jobs at times. The trick is to not post how desperate you are but to see this as a chance and communicate (out of a forum) with people about what you want.

Greetings

I must say that I envy _why's ability to be so well known and yet remain so anonymous. He even managed to speak at conferences under his online name.

I really am starting to think that in the 21st century, our online personas are just as important as our "muggle" names...

yes, this part was not planned at all.
Its the first ever job I've left and never heard about being short changed, so expected and planned for mostly a full final wage.

thank you very much for your donation, it means a lot.

Sorry for the news.

A suggestion - moving your employment bit to the top of your liqbase web page would highlight it better - no point in having people have to go to the bottom to find the important stuff...

I feel for you, Gary, having just escaped 6 months unemployment.

I will gladly help where I can. Nokia managers would be CRAZY not to hire you ASAP.

Would a collective push from members of this forum be useful to that aspect? If it is we should go for it.. or attempt to. ?

Whatever it takes for you to feel comfortable coming to the Summit, man. It will do you good to be surrounded by friends for a few days.
