My problem is that to the outside world, I am a perceived MCSE weenie at
one of those "no business model" companies without profit, and am kind of
stuck here because of the damn job market....even, though I have enough
experience on both the hardware and software fronts to run circles around
95% of the NT people and to hold my own on the UNIX front.  No job ops...
uncertain paycheck.  My boss has missed 3 months of paychecks...and not
by choice or with any prior warning.  Everything they are doing here is
extremely...fishy... (i.e. not quite legal) but I rely on those paycheck
scraps I can get (I won't rock the boat if I don't have to).  My boss is
finally getting really pissy with the management (he's taken it up the a**
way too long... I would have been mouthing off way sooner)
