Hey, somebody, out there!! I'm YELLING at you! Somebody! Hire me! I know Ada quite well, and I think I know FORTRAN fairly well -- can't somebody hire me to help convert/enhance/improve/create some useful code? Hey -- since I'm macho-broke and my living demands are quite minimal, how about $5/hr, full-time, 2 hr/month sick time allowance, no vacation, for one calendar year? I betcha in one month, I could impress you enough to double the pay rate? If not, I'll go try to find a job at Taco Bell! I have a BA Math, some eight years of programming, not just course work, but personal experimentation, consultant in a computer lab for 3.5 years and computer operations for 4.5 years and tutoring in computer science for 1.5 years (6 years free-lance) and computer science grader (CS1 and CS2) for a semester (before the policy that all graders had to be work-study became effective)...and I know for a fact that I write better code than most of the operational software out there -- I write maintainable and reusable code -- why not try me? Again: one year probation, $5/hr, full-time, very minimal sick leave allowance and no vacation...not even any health insurance! I'm serious, folks!
