I'd do more than live at the Cient, I'd go permie, which is on the cards later this year.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

At the moment the current gig is uber boring. I am 3 weeks away from the end so I have to document stuff and train the people in how to use it.
Other than that its been great.Comment
