later in life you'll look at this time as the BEST TIME in your life. When I was at MIT (seven years - 3 degrees - yes, I finally read your e-mail) I was a TA all through out graduate school; and let me tell you, academia beats the hell out of the REAL WORLD. After MIT I went to work for a $3 Billion corporation - worked my way up-to the Corporate Director of I/T technolgy - got diabetes - got seriuos complications - my job of 35 years went away with even getting the fake gold watch. So first forgive me for being a jerk (I get that way once in while when the pain of my neuropathy goes over the top) and PLEASE PLEASE accept my apology for anything I said that affended you, or any other CC>CC members.

So, enjoy your job, enjoy your HEALTH and most of all anxiously look foward to each and every new day!!!
