Good luck to all jobsearchers out there.

Sorry Katti! I don't disagree and everyone had to make that choice as to where they draw the line. It is only in the last 6 months that the economy (even in my area of computers) has recovered enough that there are actual jobs.

As they say, it's always easier to find a job when you have one already.

My dad (Yvanleterrible) broke a leg yesterday evening playing soccer. He's in the hospital still, waiting for a surgery. I have no real details, but I'm heading for St-Jean right now and I'll keep you posted. Or hopefully he will, soon!

Good news is: he'll have plenty of time to spend here!

Oh my! We'll be rooting for him to mend fast!
Tell him the ChickenBorg can build him a new replacement leg. Of course it will be made out of titanium steel alloy and need a battery.

Oh NO!!!! (and I didn't know about the relation. Thanks!)

Wish him my best. Hope it is not too terribly bad and things are fixed up quickly.

Give him our best, and our wishes for a speedy recovery. Should we all pitch in for a little bell he can ring when he needs something?

What .... you mean I might be missing the point or something? No, I don't know how to spell PAIN.
It's only vacation if you are enjoying yourself more than you would otherwise have at work

Hope all goes well!! You said it was "major" but since you had the luxury of scheduling it, can we assume it's not emergency?

Oh No!!! Give him a big hug for all of us (on some part where it doesn't hurt). Hope he can get back online while he recuperates; this place is *good* for one's morale.

It's not emergency, and it's not life threatening. It's just finally "time" to get rid of some parts that I won't be needing again (ladies will understand).
