This being 2007 and all I get quite curious why so many businesses are still trying to follow the archaic physical location infrastructure. I mean sure, I can see it if you need to set up machines, or make the boss some coffee, but for programming, running DB queries, etc... it's seems somewhat asinine. Perhaps you as a recruiter could explain the rationale a bit. I mean I have clients across north America and in Europe, we've never experienced any problems. Sure there were times they wanted to take me out for beers, but I settled for some quality time with my family instead. I don't have to commute, my monthly transit bill is about $50 CAD (groceries, swim lessons for the kids, etc), and I'm almost always within reach when problems occur (though I don't use IMs since they are annoying little beasts). I realize you're just a recruiter, but does this ever come up in discussion with your clients? Cheers, Rob. -- ...........................................................
