Just got offered the job which would mean we won't have to move. 12% pay raise too.

That's great news, Simon!

I think they already employ some ex-pongoes. My soon to be boss is an ex-Crab.

That's one real use I see for an iPad. No one can tell if you are taking notes or playing a game.

Mission of Honor?!?! I thought that one wasnt out yet!

Thats one's concurrent with Torch of Freedom, right? I just finished ToF recently and liked it very much. But I have to admit that I'm getting lost in all the background machinations. It used to me that Manpower were the evil guys, Erewhon were the untrustworthy, waffling guys, and the SL were just big and dumb. Now I dont even know with Maya getting involved, etc.

But I bet HH's 8th Fleet would hand the Sollies their butts...as long as the ammo lasts anyway.

BTW, did you notice that I havent had anyone to discuss it with?

Thats my thought. At my last job we had a semi-daily "burn session" that lasted 15 minutes....and half of that was me trading one-liners with my boss.
