Seriously. The pay is good, the people are great, the work is really interesting, and they recently took away my only complaint: my office. They moved me from the basement to a 7th floor office (well, cubicle) by a bank of windows. Life is good.
So nothing for me. Give whatever I might get to others.

I’m sure you might get one after the new tax bill in the State

Not likely. Any pay increase will probably go to pay for health care premium increases

Will only happen when EVERYONE admits that it shall only be tabs that should be at the front of line in code files.

Well it's either that or we stop using indentation altogether...

I will argument against tab. Space, space are to be in agreement. 
I do hit the tab key for indentation, but have VS insert spaces instead of tab.

I work for a rural healthcare .org. You can guess what the pay scale is like ... Out here on the range, there just is not too many job opportunities for us computer types (or for anyone, for that matter).
I know, you would tell me to move to a city where the opportunities are better. But to me, cities are too dang crowded and it would be one hell of a commute back to the ranch (and no way are my wife and I are getting out of the ranching business!!).
You urban and suburban dwellers need to remember where your food is grown! 
Hey, do you know how the farmer's and rancher's retirement party begins? With a preacher speaking in very somber tones: "Friends, we gather here today to remember and to celebrate the life of ...."

I hear ya! I live about 30 miles from Pittsburgh, PA. I worked downtown there for couple years, took me 2 hours to get to work some mornings because of traffic and pretty much same on way home. Was making good money though. Took a pay cut to take a job out of town and drive about an hour now but no traffic and BS. Lot less stress. I'm much happier working away from the city. I always have recruiters call me about jobs in Pittsburgh and first thing I say is "I won't take one downtown or have to go through town to get to it".

IYDMA, which direction out of Pittsburgh are you? I grew up off of 28 just across the Butler county line, but fled to 90 minutes east Johnstown about a dozen years ago.
"bad traffic" here is two work out coal trucks "racing" up the mountain side by side doing 40 in a 55 zone. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

In the back rooms of supermarkets, right?

I escaped the city for a small town nearly 20 years ago. Even though I now work in that heart of that city, giving me an hour+ long commute one way, it's worth it. The drive is mostly peaceful, lets me unwind on the way home. Audio books help.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Guys! I really wasn't expecting anything at all from you, but seeing as you ask ...
Any of the following would be greatly appreciated:
1) A crate of Remy Martin.
2) A box of Romeo y Julietta Churchills.
3) Tickets and travel for the Boxing Day test at the MCG.
4) A big pile of unmarked, used bank-notes.
5) Something blonde and pretty.
6) A vintage Duesenberg..
7) A 1930's flying boat.
8) A Bengal tiger.
9) World peace.
10) A Dukla-Prague away kit.
If none of those are readily available, an answer to my latest SQL question would serve equally well.*
*I'm lying, of course (albeit in the festive spirit) - I just want number 4 and I'll be able to source most of the rest myself and ignore the SQL at the same time.
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

In January, I plan to compete in a 12-hour endurance fitness event; I'd like to order a t-shirt before the event (they need 'x' number of pre-orders to run a print) and I'd like to EARN the t-shirt by completing the event.
