				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!

 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. | |
