Status: offline 		My job's on Unisys but I just started doing some IBM stuff this year. Unfortunately, my contract is up this month and my place is also outsourcing stuff to India. I would be eligible to go back in 3 months, but with all the mayhem and indecision going on, I haven't the foggiest what's going to happen.....
I might end up in Detroit next month....
There might be a lot of IT people here, but I bet I'm the only Unisys programmer here..

Ausheli,

I worked for Hamptons here in Broome for 12 years starting as a driver and then working my way up to depot manager. But they sold their freight division to Centurion Transport early last year so I moved over to Centruions.

"Cheer up Chook"

Being an Automotive Technician "Fancy term for Grease Monkey" of thirty plus years... those Automotive Design Engineers are the scum of the earth in my book.
Now those guy's like "Rodney D." deserve no respect.

The guys that write the operation time rates for Mitchell & Chilton fall right in the same catagory. Also, I want to know who in the hell writes those Warranty times.... his name has to be Flash.

You looking for a partner? I am curently working out of a 3 car garage, and worse yet, I have to share it with 2 cars! When I need to work, I move the cars out, wheel out the benches, get a few good hours in, then move it all back.
