Any chance for a sign-on bonus? ;)

You know, smp/e, JES2, kicks...
I just wish the network dudes would stop plugging my full duplex, 1000 mps ethernet cable into half duplex ports...

Fed my kids and paid for my ex-wives. Long time since I job-shopped. I did get a special E-mail about a month ago for a program that I once worked on (that should be dead, but isn’t).

Want a job for the rest of your life?
Learn Cobol/CICS/DB2 and post a resume on DICE.
Your phone will ring off the hook, and you can probably convince someone to let you work from home.
Me, I don’t do app programming, just system administration/upgrades, etc.
Nice to hear. I will let some old friends know that they are missed.
Right you are, I started as a systems programmer in 1967,
with DOS followed by MFT-HASP & MVS-Jes3 on up through
Project Manager on z/OS & z/VM with Linux on z9s.Unix at Bell Labs on anything from a chip to a Amdahl Mainframe.
It has been a good ride.
