Ralph to go into semi-hibernation...
I am about to become a wildly overpaid clerk for 2 months. I'll be working 2nd shift and may even get a shot at overtime (hope, hope!). First work since May 22, 2008.
I can't go into the details, but it's Dilbert in action (at $35 an Hour)... |

Excellent, SSRSE! I'm sure it'll be great to get back to work again.
Something in me wants to say something like "COBOL Man to the rescue!" There shoulda been a comic strip character with that name. |

Good luck! I also renewed my contract (or I expect to renew it) for another 4 months and I'm really happy!

Good luck and congratulations Ralph. 'Wildly overpaid' would be my favourite salary too

Don't make me pull the GOTO trigger..... As to the work, hmmm... let's say a manager at a big company shoved some work into a corner to get a bigger bonus...until the Federales got wind of it. Their response was simple - get it done or get a BIG fine. So COBOLMAN puts on his Clerk Kent suit and starts the meter running..... Last edited by Greg Anos; 03-16-2010 at 06:42 PM. |

At that salary, if you leave your desk about 5 minutes to go to the bathroom, you are paid 3$. It's a very nice thing, to be paid three dollars to go to the bathroom. |
