2/9     Job at VA Research doing Linux support -- email me for more info.
        This is, of course, via Taos. email me at christine@taos.com ...to
        start ASAP!  --chris
        \_ VA as in Veteran's Association in Martinez? Or a different VA?
        \_ DIFFERENT VA -- VA as in Linux, in Mountain View. --chris
           \_ http://www.varesearch.com -- the initials are those of the last
              names of the original founders, one of whom is Larry M.
              Augustin. -- schoen
        \_ CHRISTINE: Give me one good reason why I should quit my 6 digit $,
           full time job that I love, with full benefits like health, stock,
           etc, for a Taos contracting job ? (btw, contracting by nature is
           full of people who love $ and come and go quickly)
                \_ Taos may pay less than other contracting companies, but they
                   give lots more benefits.  -- former taos slave
                   \_ and they also treat you like scum
                \_ To quote Jesus: "The well don't need healing."
                   And is that six figures on salary, or six figures including
                   bonuses, options, etc?  -ax
                   \_ six figures including the two zeros after the decimal

           \_ I just want to know the best path to a 6 digit full-time job.
           \_ I just want to know the best path to a 6 digit part-time job.
                      point.
           \_ Taos doesn't want you.  Taos feeds on clueless newbie students
                who it lures into dropping out of school to make $20/hour
                + minimal benefits, and who it can sap the life out of for
                a year or two and then spit out their chewed up bodies.
                \_ but you're not bitter. - tpc
                        \_ What's wrong with being bitter if you got used?
           \_ If you want to confront me about it, call me or email me.
              Some of you have correct info, some of you don't, and I don't
              want to discuss it on the motd.  Taos hires people to be
              salaried staff consultants, and who said Taos doesn't pay
              six digits??  And I never asked you to quit a job, I merely
              posted an opportunity.  If you're happy where you are, then by
              all means, STAY there.  --chris
              all means, STAY there.  And sign your name. --chris

4/17    Questions about recruiting below.  Thanks.
        1. Why are different positions called full-time, contracting, and
        intern, with "full-time" meaning regular permanent positions?
        Contracting and intern positions are usually 40 hours/week which would
        imply they are full-time (i.e. not part-time) also.
        2. What's the difference between temp, contracting, and consulting

        According to this report, 28.8% of the jobs in the
        Sunnyvale-San Jose-Santa Clara area are considered IT. Is this
        bullshit or what? What about all the restaurants, cleaning,
        retail, and a shitload of other non-IT jobs in the area?

12/15   Does anyone have experience investing in apartment buildings
        I'm not really looking to invest, but I want an apartment
        to live in, and I'm not happy with the leases I'm encountering
        for instance one requires 2 years of tax returns with the
        application. I'm in a position to buy a building, but I've
        got no experience with this, and I don't want to learn that
