Makes me *really* glad that I demanded more signing bonus (instead of
more options) when I started at ConnectSouth (see www.connectsouth.com,
then www.DISconnectsouth.com, heh) a year ago tomorrow.  I told them,
"I dont care about getting rich, I want more money now even if it
costs me money later".  Turns out, that attitude paid off.

The company's first round of forced bankruptcy hearings was today.

hehehe.  (I left after four months, due to a horrible work environment
and Too Much Corporate Politics, and "we'll hire 165 more sales people,
but we'll make do with two sysadmins..")
