RE: News Flash... Gumby has left the building...

Well, *I* know what day it is, so I don't believe it. ;-) Paul M. From: informix-list-bounces@iiug.org [mailto:informix-list-bounces@iiug.org] On Behalf Of Ian Michael Gumby Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 12:14 PM To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: News Flash... Gumby has left the building... Yup. Thats right folks. Someone put enough lipstick on that blue pig to make it attractive enough that I would actually want to rejoin the IBM Borg collective! Not all of the details have worked out, but we've come to an understanding as we work out the salary, vacation, and what would my exact roll be within IM. I told them that I wanted to have all of my directs cross matrixed to me for the first year and then I'd hold their paper after that. I really can't say much more, although you do know those "PR pieces" where the question is about IDS but you get the DB2 slant? Rumor has it that the individual who shall remain nameless... [Bernie Spang] is being moved to a different roll within the beast. Anyone willing to take a bet to see how long I last this time? ;-) But hey! What do I know? :-) I'm not even sure what day it is. -G _____ Get in touch in an instant.
