Can you bill for every hour you spend in King of Prussia?

Deep Hurting.

What's with these recruiters thinking they can get someone somewhere (usually in the middle of nowhere) for a short amount of time? The investment in relocating alone would be awful (unless you're like some of my friends where all you own is in your suitcase or in your car or something). I guess that there might be an army of mobile programmers out there willing to go anywhere and just have never set root anywhere long enough that relocating is painful.

I used to love going to King of Prussia/Valley Forge as a kid. But I wouldn't want to live there.

I assume you've already seen Dominus's story about a headhunter like this, but just in case....

This cracks me up. The desire for needless co-location is driven purely by the monkey-egos of managers who believe that if you aren't physically present you're somehow getting away with something.

Curiously, software companies are the worst for this, possibly because software managers are so completely clueless. My hardware clients are all happy to have me off in the Canadian wilderness, despite the real issues of shipping stuff across the border.

what?

I think an email like that was how tahnan got his job.

there's a kickass mall in king o prussia. just sayin. and the greyhound bus station is right next to an event hall with a renaissance beef and ale night, and The Bar, which is, as it turns out, a bar.

someday i will show you pictures of a wedding in which i was an attendant. magic.
