[Donna Marie Vincent]

Krisitina, thanks to you, I may be out of a job soon -- your "brilliant idea" had me laughing out loud at my desk and my boss wanted to know what was so funny!

Subject: Re: [nycphp-jobs] Got a Great Big Idea - Need a Developer/Partner to Make it Happen

I had a brilliant idea also and that was, as a self employed 
programmer, to build stuff for people with these "great ideas".

Now, thanks to all these people and their "great ideas" and "low 
budgets", I have some new great ideas.  Such as being able to go to the 
dentist when I need to go, being able to afford decent food, and being 
able to pay rent on time. 

Full Time Job....here I come!! Cash is king -- it's so true.  I'm done 
posting on this...but it sure did hit a nerve.
