(M. h. D. (Master of Hate and Discontent) - I MUST hijack your tagline... I just lost out on a permanent job that I'd already done with the same company in the past (3 1/2 years), because I had "GED" instead of "PhD" after my name - never mind the twits that were hired over me took up half my time asking me for assistance (and I still doubled their output)... Times, they are a-changing! As for Oceanside, outside Sacramento is much better. The people are friendly, honest, and hard working. Oceanside only has - well - the ocean :)

Clear evidence of the belief I hold in some circumstances... "No good deed goes unpunished!"

The thing I see in the job market is that they want the best person for the least money but growth potential and work ethic are not always fairly evaluated...

The cynicism many people feel is because hard work is not always enough for some... But you have to believe that there is something better out there.... There is a big difference between saying "I have failed three times!" and "I am a failure!"

Be well...

In case you did not notice, I am not as mean as you may have heard... Please ignore those police reports about me... :-)

And you are welcome to the tagline royalty free... It is who I try not to be but who I know I can be if circumstances require... We all have those parts of ourselves that we say "Use only in case of emergency!"

And we could have a long discussion about how some do the work and others take the credit...

You may not find sympathy for that situation on this forum but you will also not find many that will say it is untrue...
