Yeah. Life goes on.

> I've been in my new job for a month now. (Summary of past events: I went from a US$35/hr job contracting to Microsoft to a US$5/hr job working on a ferry boat. On purpose. If I can stick with it for a year I'll have enough logged sea time to sit exams for a commercial captain's license and run my own charter yacht.)

Heh. Leaving Microsoft should be enough of a reason to take a pay cut :)
