I spit out the the coffee I wasn't drinking at this comment. What things do you like that are considered "nice"?
yessir correct, DB all the way.
NARDI - nice things as in a nice car and big apartment/home. and watches. and vineyard vines clothing.
Nope different people. Somewhat similar scale though, although the LoveBurger is a little more lanky than me.

If your employer is "offering" to cut your pay by 20%, no matter what the reason, you might want to polish up your resume!
When I moved to North Carolina in 1988 I worked at a small company designing specialized computers for flight simulation. I worked with a great group of engineers and one of the chip designers asked our Director of Engineering if she could work four 10 hours days instead of 5 regular days. I've never forgotten his response to her: "Why would I pay you to work four 10 hour days when you work five 10 hours days now?"
He was absolutely right too. In fact, 10 hours days was probably on the low end. We were a group of young engineers who thought we were going to make some money by building the best flight simulator ever. The stuff we designed was very cool and worked well. Most of the people I worked with didn't have kidsso we worked all sorts of crazy hours to make the thing work. But no one bought it. I think we sold less than 10 of them to the Navy. It was the classic solution in search of a problem which plagues a lot of high tech companies.
