Congrat's to Mike for making it out into the real world!! It's been about 9 months since I got out and every day has been bliss... even the shitty ones that almost ended in bloodshed were promptly quelled by stepping back and reliving the day I punched my student # and password into Mozilla and saw freedom spelled with a P.A.S.S.<P>...and just to dispell the myth of "the Nark", I've been out here in this industry/career driven wasteland for 3 years now, with several interstate outings to clients etc. and I've NEVER had to wear a tie!! (Except to weddings and funerals)
So, yes my geekie friends, the grass IS greener on the other side... =)
