Well, due to lack of available .Net developers willing to work for peanuts, the customer decided to sign his contract over to another Project Development team. Since they're out-of-towners, I expect they'll run into the same problem filling development positions. I've taken my "on the table" job offer for a steady position on the north side of ( Read more... )

So, I took another interview today. I had spoken with the owner of Centex Solutions (here in Austin), and he specializes in contractual work. However, Jody walked in the Twin Lion restaurant and, lo and behold, a familiar face ( Read more... )

As a CHL Instructor/License Holder, I am well aware that the CHL (Concealed Handgun License) disallows the holder to carry in certain locations.

One can view all of these locations at Packing.org. In the states of Michigan and Texas, licensed individuals CANNOT carry in a place of worship.
