I'm a contractor doing some programming work at WorldCom. The department I work in is not bad at all. No company-sponsored beer bashes or anything, but pretty nice. I haven't been pressured to put in excessive hours and the pay has been quite good. This job is a dream compared to my last job at Creative Labs.
I hear lots of people bashing SUV's, but they do serve a purpose. I own a Ford Expedition and the sole reason is because I can fit in it. I'm 6'5" and 350 lbs. I would LOVE to have a nice, fuel efficient gas-electric hybrid. I don't need the passenger space of my vehicle, and I certainly don't need the extra gas cost. I would love to get rid of it, but my job and my family require a lot of driving and for me, the choice was my back or the environment. I chose my back. Even in my behemoth, I have to bend down at stop lights to see when they turn green. If anyone out there has an inside track to a car manufacturer, recommend bigger cabs. I'll forego cargo space if it means I can sit up straight without looking through the mandatory tinted sun-screen at the top of my windshield.
