| It's all stuff I've said before. I'm not too concerned. By all means, anybody who *is* concerned shouldn't post, though. | |

| That, and it's what I'd tell anybody who I'd try to recruit to join my company. Which, I must admit, would be cool. I get a bonus for every person I recruit who ends up working here. I own a shredder, I don't answer my phone if I don't know who's calling, I installed a dead bolt on my apartment door, and I'm a loyal member of the foil hat brigade, but I don't mind sharing ballpark salary estimates and car models, and my picture and resume are about to be posted to the company website for anybody to look at, so the damage is done.
I think I'll get another free coke, and watch my mountains for a while. | |
