>>As discerning readers have noticed, I have been extremely unhappy with my job. Crappy company, crappy project, crappy boss. This morning I quit. Like most of us I am scared of the unknown but it feels so good to shed this job. It's like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. For longer than I care to remember I have hated that job within two steps out of bed every morning.

>>What's next? No idea. The market is not exactly crawling with FoxPro jobs and that is the only thing I have demonstrable skills for. It's going to be a radical change. But hey, in every catastrophe there is opportunity, right? My two closest coworders said the same thing: this is an opportunity. And I am looking at it that way.

>>My daughters will not be here this weekend so I am going to indulge myself. I am leaving on the 2:48 train downtown and will revisit the Taste of Chicago. After that, the Westin on Michigan Ave. I could use a heavenly bed.

>Hey Mike, maybe you should start up a soccer ref school. Teach the refs and VFP on the side. Write a refereee rules book system, with tests and quizzes. Match monitoring, player tracking :) Good luck.

I don't even know the difference between offside and onside, just ask Hugo ;-)
