Dear Dude,

I am currently in job negotiations with a company here in /South East
Asia/, and will only consider relocation to /Silicon Valley/ if the
negotiations fall apart.  This is liable to take some time, as I am
not in a hurry to find employment; plus the employer is not in a hurry
to hire me.  We are both taking our time.

I'll be sure to let everyone here in comp.theory, alt.computer, alt.pc,
and alt.buddha.short.fat.guy -- I don't know why he's interested in my
employment status -- if I have to find something else.


Best wishes, and happy not working for Apple, Google, and Facebook!
