just figured i'd share this with everyone. i just left my job today after almost a year of soul crushing, dignity stripping and overall meaningless work for a certain global delivery company (i'll give you a hint, the trucks are brown), i was offered a job through a friend at a german biotech company here in boston. not only does this mean a real office and a few more bucks in my pocket, but i also have my own expresso machine (or rahter my department does.) on top of which my new boss is much more receptive to me taking time off for travel...
i just had to share this. hopefully, this new job will allow me more time on the tpunk boards 
later,
jeff

Congratulations!
A new job is always great. Get a fresh start & see where it takes you. It's also fantastic your new boss is flexible with the travel time!

Congratulations.
I've had my fair share of less than stellar experiences with those brown trucks. DOWN with UPS. (I'll be making t-shirts soon)

Congratulations! I hear you have to work ten or so years to get 3 weeks off when working for Mr. Brown.
