If I were evil, and if I dismissed my own (seething) admonitions against
telecommuting, I would keep 2 contract gigs alive, and sit around swapping
between one and the other, while listening to crucial "Uptown Top Ranking"
on www.kuci.org .

Oh, just to make it more painful on the brainful, I would make one gig in
ATL in C++ with HTML and CAB files, and the other in MS Access with VBA and
vb-lite-unit. The sweet thunder of Reggae, Dub, and Ragga is the only thing
that could possibly make this experience survivable.

But I ain't, and I don't, so I won't. Nope!
