He went back to work for the same company the following week as a contractor (don't get me started on how retarded I found the whole situation).<BR/><BR/>I hope you find something in a location that you'll enjoy just as much.SFPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439972994357205049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-60545970252431996742007-03-23T05:55:00.000-05:002007-03-23T05:55:00.000-05:00Thanks, Danielle, for the kind words.
