Yeah, I think I'd give it a lot of thought before working for Bernie again. This would require commuting to Boulder, too, yes? I'm thinking the money wouldn't be as good, but flipping burgers would be much less stressful than dealing with Bernie...

Well, no, I'd mostly be working from home. Coding software, you know. I'd have to go to Boulder occasionally, but not more than once a month.

Part of what has me wigged out about the idea is that they've somehow alienated the guy I always used as back-up and code-checker. Probably the only remaining "expert" on this piece of proprietary software on the planet and apparently he doesn't want to work with them any more.

And also, yes, you're right. I don't want to let Bernie back in my life. At the same time, three or four hundred dollars could be worth having.

(I dunno about flipping burgers, but I do find myself wondering if the Starbucks across the street is hiring....)
