Participant[quote=equalizer]It was a great time had by all. Just getting back here cause we had baby born the night after the party. The doctor had seen my wife on Tuesday morning and said that we should expect in about a week, but everthing went well. Now I just need to lose my 20 pounds!
TG: There are some cute nurses at Scripps La Jolla. One was commenting on her dating life and how she dates night owls like police officers, etc. I should have called you and had you visit us there! [/quote]
Congrats on the new baby!

ParticipantYour advice is practical… but it presents a moral hazard.
Tenants sign legal contracts in the form or rental agreements or leases. They agree to pay a specific amount in return for living in the apartment or house. If they stop paying, isn’t it the same as someone who buys a house, and stops paying the mortgage?
The landlord not paying the mortgage is a breach of their contract (mortgage) between the landlord and bank. The tenant is not a party to that contract.
Yes it sucks for the tenant if their landlord stops making payments. But isn’t withholding rent doing the same bad thing as the landlord… not paying ones agreed obligations?
Just my 2 cents.

ParticipantTo the OP topic… IT jobs are tight now. I work for a large engineering firm (one of the big ones mentioned earlier in this thread)… today is the last day of our Unix admin and a few of our IT guys. The company’s been downsizing and now they targeted the support staff. The decision will bite us when we can’t do a release because the server is acting up.
On the the whole IT engineer vs “real” engineer… I got bit on this topic once before when I asked about it. FWIW, my degree is a BSEE and all but thesis of an MS engineering… but I’ve been doing firmware since I graduated from my low-brow SDSU… I don’t consider myself better or worse than any other type of engineer… I just know the skillset I have is different than that of a hardware engineer, an IT engineer, or someone who does web apps. Not better… just different.
And on weekends I’m a domestic engineer… that’s what I call myself when I’m cleaning bathrooms.
Letters after the name (PhD) matter if you’re doing academic research or teaching… Not so much in commercial work.
Good luck in the job hunt WestCoastNole. (And to my coworkers who just joined your ranks.)

Participant[quote=esmith][quote=UCGal]Neither, why?[/quote]
No reason … just because those are two neighbors of the former Intuit office.
[/quote]The turbo tax office was right off of 805 at Governor Drive… that small cluster of business buildings on the east end of UC. That’s what I was talking about.
