Well it took longer than anticipated but in the end I found exactly the work I had hoped for: a Database Administrator as a contractor.

Will there be opportunities for new borgs in your future?

I'm hopeful but I have to be a little more careful as a contractor; I can be snuffed out quicker than you can blow out your birthday candles.

We had to stand on jagged rocks in knee deep ice water.
