Nice one, darmstadt. Although I have to confess to not understanding about 80% of that...Originally posted by darmstadtYesterday the US company I 'agent' for said that we're back on track selling systems so I've got loads of them to do in EMEA, back to travelling again. Today I got 3 new projects as well, a 2-3 day a week gig in Köln doing VM/VSE DB2 sysprog work, install a z9BC and zOS 1.8 in Sauerland and a 3 day a month gig doing handholding for zLinux in Frankfurt and still another 500 hours here down near Stuttgart. And the sun has come out. More please....

Good on you, darm.Originally posted by XenophonNice one, darmstadt. Although I have to confess to not understanding about 80% of that...
I understood Stuttgart and beer. I worked there too but I've never liked lager.
I tried the dunkelbeer because it looked a bit like bitter, but it still tasted like lager. I found Pils to be the most palatable.Comment

Even better, the manager of the current contract asked to have a word with me in his office, and so I got a bit worried, as you do. Apparently they are well pleased with my work, even though I've never done this before, and he asked if I would like to continue there until at least next April. This time working on a brand new product for them, not bad. Along with that, I need to go to Florida for a couple of days to work on a performance problem with zLinux (but I think I'll try teleworking that one!)Originally posted by darmstadtYesterday the US company I 'agent' for said that we're back on track selling systems so I've got loads of them to do in EMEA, back to travelling again.
