How about a year-round coach for the kids, or any Unix stuff that's not already fried from the dust. No wait, need any Christmas lights put up?? Paul is still doing all that for free, but it would be nice to get paid for SOMETHING! Do I mail the Christmas cookies or will you be home for them?

I'm connecting over a network provided by Tamsco, who's hiring. The Tamsco guys here have it pretty nice, and there's a lot of contractors in the IT and support areas. A army presence like this one needs comm links and other support just like any other company with 150,000 employees spread out over hundreds of locations.
