When I worked in local government IT, there were younger people who started working there looking for job security. They were still there, 30 years later. We half-joked that some of the people working there started working before their manager was born. Half-joking, because it was true. It takes a certain mentality to work in a job like that for so long, keep your head down, do everything you can do not stand out, do the same thing day after day, take a union-mandated raise every once in a while, and retire with a pension. That ain't me. .... Is there something missing? --- MultiMail/DOS v0.52 * Origin: http://realitycheckbbs.org | tomorrow's retro tech (1:218/700) .
