Easy solution is to sleep with the bike. Any wife worth her salt will eventually get used to it, and it keeps the chrome warm. -- Kai Nui

Going direct? Congrats man!!! I've been trying for that for years. They've got the budget to pay me contractor rates for nine years, but not direct rates? Whats up with that?

I'm happy for you man. Congrats again! Grab it and hold on for dear life!

+1 to that.

I was pretty happy overall with the direct State rate....now I've taken a pay cut to go with the university.  And the State paid my present job at 20K lower than any others that I've seen for it, so I'm sure as heck not thrilled to be ending up with another 2K less.  Yes, I know I should be thankful that I have a job, etc...but when you spend a year designing the move of a whole data center, you pretty much should be able to expect to be employed as something other than a "windows admin" when it's done....particularly if they interview you for a management position first?

(Or so I continue to believe - and will continue to do so when I see all of the diagrams that I developed to move 100 systems and their background storage in what was about 36 hours being used for ads for the "assisting" contractors....who probably never had it so easy and spent a great deal of time taking photos of our rack cabling and my diagrams... )

So, final tally in on the new job - great to have one, but the monthly pay is now approx $500 net less per month for 10 months of the year.  PC800 is once more NOT in the picture at all at this point - let alone the ST7 or VStar 950!..

<Sighhhhh>....Now I'm trying to decide if we sell one of the "Souls" or if I go without beer and smokes....

WOooooodddyyy....<Sigh, again>....you got anything for me? 

 

[Mac]

Mac, if you don't buy that PC800, I'm going to have to hurt you. That is a very nice example and you should swoop it up! If I hadn't bought the Bonnie, I would seriously be leaning towards it!

Well, Bill - take your best shot, please... 

I had to tell Tony this week that it wasn't feasible with my effective pay cut.  He had an alternative buyer available, and by this point I imagine that that person is now seriously happy that he got a great PC800!...

So, me and Piggie will soldier on as a duo...just a shame that we can't do more on the weekends with the Mrs to make it a trio! 

[ACD_Bill]

Just be glad the Mrs. is willing to ride with you. You'll get a two up bike some day and the three of you will ride.

....

Oops...you said "Mrs is willing to ride WITH you", didn't you?  Sorry, the additional note of the "three of you will ride" just brought my imagination into play...
 

In all seriousness, though - at this point I don't see a likely change in the next couple of years... unless someone here wants a decently maintained 2008 Piggie for around $US 2K?...
