Hide your valuables, lock your refrigerator!

Post by ironpants » Fri Feb 10, 2006 10:03 pm

I just got clearance to telecommute from Spokane! Small town cost of living w/ Seattle wages! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

Anybody know a good real estate agent?

I'll be back for two days every two weeks. I can't stay away from free beer friday for long.

I'll probably see you more when I'm 272 miles away than I do now.

BTW (everyone who's not flap) I'm crashing at her house when I'm in town.

I'm a damned lucky man!

Actually... I had a good one when I purchased Casa de Bio.

I can get you her name if needed.

It's a pitty I hear about this now. We were just in the market for a DBA at my company. We wanted one familiar with Oracle but with a primary focus on MS SQL.

I think they hired somene from China (for those who aren't in the know... english speaking DBA's are few and far between).

Count me in on the reunion - I come up to Spokane every now and then!

Whoa, seriously?

And would the Lazy-I have paid Seattle wages?

Yeah, on that scale, you should be able to pay your house off in half the time and still set up a good college fund for your kid.

I think we're ok on the realtor front. I'll be available for limited database consulting when I get there (will work for beer)

BTW, you are probably better off with a Chinese DBA than an American. In China, they still teach computer science.

I'm driving back to Issaquah right now. Found a house, closing is scheduled for March 17th. Sorry for nor meeting up with anyone this weekend, it was a bit busy :)

BTW, we're looking for help unloading the truck. Pay is good, but all transactions will be paid in beer!

We could definately use the help on this end too! Just forgot there were more than one of us on this side of the state on this forum. :)

I'll give ya a call.
