Got a call from a guy (George) I worked with roughly 7 years ago. He'd sent
me email yesterday asking for my input about another former co-worker who
had applied for a job he has open.  He couldn't help but laugh over my
description of this guy always wandering around trying to find free food.
There's one in every company, isn't there?  The cheapskate who manages to
sniff out the box of doughnuts, pizza or pot luck in another department.
Never chips in for food or gifts but always manages to sign the card.  And
that's about all he/she does well. :)

So George wanted to know if I'm interested in interviewing.  Said he wants
me to read over the specs and sleep on it.  It's 50% programming, 50% end
user support.  He knows I didn't do formal coding but says he knows I can do
it if I want to.  I helped him design the parameter screens when we were
moving to the GUI version of our former employer's proprietary software.
The thing he's concerned about (he says) is whether or not I'd be happy
doing it and not too stressed out.  I said, "George, I'm 44 years old, I
don't have much time left to be stressed out."  He literally howled. :)  The
thing I'm concerned about is, yes, I've done some programming but it's not
what I did full time so he'd have to be patient with me.  George is not
strong on patience.  At least I already know this about him.

I dunno, I'll read this over and see what I think.  At this point I don't
think I can be too choosey and I know he and I can work together; we did so
for a number of years in the past.  In fact, he's a cat lover so he can't be
all bad :)
