mbarrickI finally heard back from Azure, I didn't get it. They went with someone less technical and more of an administrator. At least that is the official word. I know what really happened. They couldn't compete with what the bank is paying me. <sarcasm>What a let-down. I guess I'll have to suffer with shorter hours and more pay.</sarcasm>
The only thing I really don't like about my job is trying to describe it to people.
"I'm a Lotus Domino programmer for the largest bank in the world," I say.
Their eyes start to glaze over.
I explain further, "I write applications for their intranet."
Their eyes glaze over even more.
I sigh and say, "I like it because the money is good and I can leave it behind at the end of the day and go home and paint."
That they understand.
I need to get my ass out to more arts events.

It defaults to the paintings. Use the drop down to switch media if you want to see drawings and other things.
