      The money in Big Oil in Calgary is very good. Especially the profit sharing and yearly bonuses.

        Heh. Good for you and congratulations! At least on my end, I can always say that I haven't sold out that much.

        Even if I have recently become an ad man, working on a campaign for a company that has a less than stellar reputation in our grand democracy. That is to say, the company I work for is great. The company that hired us, our clients... well, let's just say if you google them, they've got a few negative results up on the first page.

        And, at least on your end you can say, "Well, at least I'm not working for the RIAA."

        Y'know, GFY can mean "good for you" in a positive sense, and "go f*ck yourself", in a Cheney sense. Interesting dichotomy, nu?

          My fellowship'll be indirectly funded (to at least some extent) by big oil, so join the club.

            Just met some VPs today and it seems like I am in for a busy and interesting summer. Main areas will be conventional gas, CBM (Coal-Bed Methane) and some oilsands stuff.

            But first for vacation before I start

              Nope -- I'll be right at 5 weeks unless you count the additional flex days we are offered


              I also love their stock purchase matching plan-- you buy their stock and they buy you an equal amount (up to a set % of salary)-- immediate 100% rate of return on THAT investment

                So now you and by YOUR implication your child are supporting the death of Americans in Iraq, no blood for oil! ...tsk tsk....

                -Well someone was going to say it, why not me, why should someone else have to be hated, everyone already hates me. So no loss, I look like a jerk as usual, and I saved someone having to type this one.......

                  I actually have a problem with the fre days extra we have - I ususally ends up getting the payment.They aren't transferable so I get caught every newyear.
                  With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                      So my bias will get stronger since if you nationalize my company's assets, you are stealing from me and my child
