Dave,

I too am truly sorry about your plight. The impression I get about you from reading your posts here, and the other board is that you are a very intelligent guy. I hope you haven't resigned yourself to that 35k govt. job permanently. Through my experience in the employment world, I've learned that if you look hard enough, there is always opportunity for someone with a good head on their shoulders. Don't give up the fight. Good things come to good people.
