RE: Local Informix User Group Meeting - Sept 10 - Chicago
Clive, Oh Clive, what can I say. You're just in a pissy mood because you've just found out that your role is being outsourced to IBM and that they've hired some git coming from India on an internal transfer. :-P Yeah, I can poke fun at NJ for posting the Chicago meeting to the whole world, not once but twice. Also I can poke fun because, well, *have* *you* *ever* *been* *to* *Schaumburg*? Didn't think so. If you have, then you'd understand my comments. The real question that wasn't asked is why the move from downtown to Schaumburg? If you understood that, then you might understand my mocking tone. And if you had ever spent time in the Schaumburg orafice, you'd understand the comment about the cell phones. But hey! I'm making an assumption that I'm not the only one who has to keep tabs on customers and support issues when I'm away from my desk.
