    Tu crois qu'il me serait util de m'inscrire à AgentSolo.com? Y aura-t-il d'emploi qui m'intéresserait? (Access ne le ferait point!)

    Depends if you can work locally. Most programming jobs need to be done on site and 99% of them are in Montréal and Québec City.

    There are a few DBA jobs advertised but they are almost always through consultation firms.

    I've spent my entire career trying to take jobs I don't think I'm quite qualified for, that gives me room to grow and makes me much less likely to be bored.

    You shouldn't take those jobs on - they are too easy for you :-D. Do as I've done since 1978 and take on only jobs that your are absolutely unqualified for - you learn more that way, and build a reputation a lot faster too :-).

    By "not quite qualified for" I tend to mean anything I can convince them I can do in the interview. 🙂

    I could get just about any job then.

    Wayne is going to heckle Grant. I am afraid that Gail might kick my back side. I am sitting on the front row. Grant was warming up by doing some punching exercise. That is scary. But I will try. 🙂

    The computer is my friend.

    The computer wants me to be happy.

    If I'm not happy, I'm not obeying the computer.

    Disobedience is treason, punishable by death.

    Right? 😛

    (Crossing genres as well as subject, but the countdown to compliance just got that bit stuck in my head.)
