actually the other one would be more stable..the company's been around
for decades and is 90% owned by Nationwide Insurance.. NI just gave them
50mil to do a nationwide rollout of their app...it'd be my job to design
and deploy the network and all the systems.  fun fun fun.  BUT, the one
above is cool...i love all the people that i'd be working with, except
maybe one and that will be a condition of my returning. he will not work
there during my duration there.  the other plus is the cto agreed to
fund my startup...so e-gad it's a tough decision.  if i go with the
other one i may be able to get an ue15k...drooooool.  ugh, i'm captain
indecisive to start with...now this.

it's getting warmer...  is senior hill back from across the pond yet?
