Time for a New Job
| 
Nov 14 14:10 UTC 1992 |
It's time for a new job. I was an electronics engineer for twelve
years, and for the last three and a half, I've been a writer and editor
for an electronics trade magazine. My interests include reading,
bicycling, sausage-making, and drinking capuccino.
This is a brainstorming session. All suggestions are welcome. In
fact, the wackier the suggestion, the better.

Once you have been an EE, you are no good for anything else ;)
How about going back to school and getting a PhD, or better yet there are
combination programs of a year or so which will give you another degree
in a combination study?

There's a Progress programming job in Saudi Arabia that I qualify for. You
can take my spot.

Take off on your bike, find the special just beneath the ordinary,
then write a _Travels With Charley_ or do a Charles Kuralt review
of the people you meet. You needn't go cross-country, there are
plenty of interesting folk within a hundred miles or so. I'd
suggest starting someplace like Grass Lake. And as you move
around and get to places a little more, er, populated, please
make a point of talking with the kids who staff fast food joints.
I've always thought that if you wanted to know something about a
community you'd get an flat-out honest view through their eyes.

What I meant to ask is what type of establishment Danny's is.

If you know Object-oriented programming, esp. in C++ and
with databases, there is an outfit in Winnipeg that is hiring:
Ubitrex Corporation. 'Course, you'll have to move there...a
place with even worse winters than Michigan.

re #10: Sounds like fun, but I don't think I qualify.
re #11: I'm not against moving, but I don't think I want to move
any farther north.
How about some kind of business? Is there some kind of store or
service that you wish was here and isn't?

Why would we tell that to you, instead of going into business ourselves?

Because maybe we're already doing something we would rather
do than what we'd like to see someone else do!

Or maybe because we don't want to do that, but have someone else do it. :)

So, give me a suggestion. Just don't talk about it.

Because, your *** develops calluses, and then falls
off.
Start a Japanese-style hotel (the kind with the
sleeping-bag sized rooms and communal baths), to give
people a cheap place to spend the night. (Better to
try this in Chicago, where hotels are more expensive
than A2.)
