    Thanks bro. It was a technician job repairing endoscopes for Pentax. I was accused by the team leader of having other people do my work and I threw a fit. Especially since the veitnamese mf couldn't speak a lick of intelligble english.

    FYI, udemy.com is offering some really cool and in demand coursework for $10. Definitely a great time to take advantage of some of their better offerings for the low, while boosting your skillset! I've already spent $50 on coursework valued at over $800.

    Does anyone here ever feel like location is a big factor in finding work? I'm starting to feel like being in CT isn't helping me at all.
