"They like doing everything in out-of-the-box Sharepoint"

My deepest sympathies go out to you.

SharePoint is in a netherworld. It is too difficult to use by itself to get anything interesting done.

You have to do real web development in order to get anything done, and then you may as well start from scratch rather than confining yourself to SharePoint.

Has anyone ever noticed Einstein's e = mc squared is a specific expression of Newton's F = ma?

Laz, life will go on and this too shall pass. Well, mine maybe sooner than your’s but what joy is there in having the same job like my Dad did for 40 years? I was groomed to believe that my first ‘real’ job would be my life’s work. It turned out to be working at a car wash in Pittsburg, California for the summer. My real job turned-out to be a Dad to three kids and two step-kids later. May your next step be as interesting and fraught with happiness and intrigue as mine.

Have you looked at Eaton Corp, Peachtree City/Atlanta, Laz? sample current opening:
http://eaton-veterans.jobs/peachtree-city-ga/software-engineer/AFF079FBB7C44CB9A032E64858C8C83D/job/

Not all openings are posted. As you probably know to do by now, use the back door and work top down: Top executive refers to mid executive refers to department manager, who’s going to interview an exec referral of course, and who can walk your resume into HR as an addl interviews/pending hire. Good luck!

actually you didn’t say MVCM you said MVC. You’re a .net developer right? Using Razor instead of aspx. I sent you a string for that on Indeed.

“Real programmers write in assembler on the bare metal.”

been there, done that. including designing and coding a Nova 1200 OS punched onto Hollerith cards and assembled on a cross-assembler on a CDC 6600, with binary output to paper tape, with said paper tape then read into Nova 1200 via hand-toggled boot loader.

I like Firefox a lot better.

Go to the Georgia Guidestones and pray to Gaia with 666 chants that you will be one of the 500 mill.

Your solution will come in a psychic trance.

You will be happy to be no longer “part of the problem”.

The CDC has been remarkably apolitical, for the most part. On the issue I care the most about, they published a report about firearms (when illegally ordered to do so) that Obama could not use. It reached mostly pro-gun conclusions. Tom Freidan is a director who is a man of science, not so much a man of politics. I had a chance to meet him and I told him I appreciated his apolitical nature.

During the period when his job was in jeopardy, and people were egging on his lynching, I warned folks that the next appointee might not be as fair on the gun issue, among others.

I left Federal employment after some 16 years ten years ago, or more. Best thing I ever did. The problem is too many Feds. There was one less when I left. Much happier as part of the solution.
