I don't brag much, but this is a big milestone IMO. I am not on FaceBook and it would probably look bad to do this on Linkedin!

I received my first raise today (effective on today's check)! 15%!

    Feels good, doesn't it?!

    Now, slash that by ~1/3 and you're left with 10% more in your pocket :)

    Congrats! Take that 15% and put it aside as if it never existed, that's my advice.
    Modularity and Design Simplicity:

    Think of the 2:00 a.m. test—if you were awakened in the
    middle of the night because of a network problem and had to figure out the
    traffic flows in your network while you were half asleep, could you do it?

    I've noticed a lot of threads being deleted recently. Was that thread one of them? icon_sad.gif

    Edit: Yup, seems like that 40+ pg thread was deleted. Very unfortunate.

    Your suggestion has been adopted. I love etrades auto transfer feature!

    Thanks everyone, making the leap into a whole different field...you never know when or if your going to make as much as you used too. This gets me close and I'm loving my work. This forum has been a big help in getting to where I am now.
