Well, I promised “more later”.

It’s now later.&#160 Here’s more.

Those of you who know me know that I worked for the Orange Jack(ass) – that is to say, Cingular Wireless.

And yes – that’s worked&#160 – as in past tense, as in “did, but not now”.

As you all know, Cingular bought out AT&T Wireless, which I lovingly (?) referred to as “the Death Star” (where I got that reference, I can’t remember, not that it matters right now).&#160 You’ll recall that I lambasted the AT&T Wireless CIO (Chief Information Officer) royally for helping to put the company in that position.

(SIDE NOTE:&#160 By no means is Chris Corrado solely responsible for the demise of AT&T Wireless – CEO John Zeglis and the rest of his trained monkeys played their part, certainly – but Corrado didn’t help things any.)

As a result of the buyout, we’d pretty much been casting our eyes upward at the imaginary guillotine hanging over our heads.&#160 Two months ago today, that guillotine fell on my head.&#160 My last day was yesterday.

Thus, a company that netted $222 million this last quarter alone can’t afford a $40,000 techie.

The Orange Jack(ass) is supposedly real big on its reputation – what other people think of them.&#160 Here’s one guy who thinks Cingular’s reputation is dogshit.

So now I gotta go find a new gig.&#160 Posting may or may not be sporadic, depending on interview schedules, casting r&#233sum&#233s hither & yon, that sort of thing.

Stay tuned.

It helps, though, if you have Microsoft Internet Explorer  set about 1024x768 1280x1024 with your Favorites window activated on the left deactivated.  (At least until I can get a better handle on how WordPress works.)

(KORRIOTH:  Oh, great.  More wormholes.)

Mozilla Firefox doesn't do too badly, either; in fact, it's His Rudeness' browser of choice.
You can  use Nutscrape,  if you so desire - but why in blazes would you want to use a browser from a company that had to hide behind Janet El Reño's skirt to be successful?

And don't even  get me started on Opera or Chrome.  I'm not about  to trust any browser that won't let me change its color scheme.
