Hope you get that sorted out...
I haven't really said anything about my new job on the thread, have I? I'm working for a company that makes train control hardware and software. It's pretty cool, actually. We're one of the two companies in the country that does what we do and our competitor is a hugh company better known for light bulbs, appliances, and general things that are electrical in nature.
Right now I'm just learning about the company but we're ramping up a project for one of the four major railways in the country (we have contracts with three of the four) which I'm going to be involved in. I was hired for my Java proficiency but I'm as likely to work on the legacy C code or the new C# development. Everyone works on almost all the projects, eventually, so there's plenty of room for growth.
And we are installing devices and software on Iraqi trains to bring them into the 20th century. My boss was complaining today how nobody wanted to travel to Turkey to do training there so we are having some Iraqis visit next week. We will be demonstrating that we can control Iraqi trains from right here in Cedar Rapids. Vey cool!
That's right. I now directly profit from Bush's illegitimate corporate war for oil and profit. Yay!
