Hi, Ed -

As the Data Base Administrator for the "legacy" mainframe systems at the County of Ventura,
I was pretty much left alone to do my job.   I was also VERY lucky to have had a superb ex-
coastguard captain as my immediate supervisor. Above him, though, there were FOUR utterly
incompetent "Pointy Haired Bosses"* in the County's Information Systems Department ...

Happy New Year!

* Several years ago, I rigged the "conferencing" camera on the computer monitor in our conference room with a direct connection to Scott Adam's office where he draws 'Dilbert'. Nearly all of the "Pointy Haired Boss" episodes in these cartoons are based on real-life events!
