Really well. My contract at Dow Jones has survived the creation of the joint venture with S&P so now I am up to my ears in writing stuff to integrate systems which gives me a chance to do a lot of SSIS and TSQL work that has really stretched my skill set to new places. Of course being able to bill 40 consultant hours a week on a W2 while never leaving my house is kind of cool too <bg>

That is the only thing I hate about the gig I've been on since last October. They want me on site 8 hours a day 5 days a week. yuk! But, at least I am still billing corp to corp <s>. I have another large VFP to C# conversion that looks like it will start in about a month and that will be mostly remote work.

I'm hoping this one lasts well into next year. McGraw Hill - which is the majority owner of the joint venture through its ownership of S&P - is an Oracle - Java shop so at some point my .NET - SQL won't be as useful, but there is a lot of data and systems stuff to do between now and complete integration so I'm hoping to be involved in that as long as possible.

Well, you can always start learning Oracle and Java.
