Where is Tally? Tallahassee? Hurricanes are far better than F5 tornado's or the earth shaking beneath you. Everything is in preparation, DB upgrades and hurricanes. I bet the building codes will change in New Orleans unless the developers get their way. It took Andrew to change Florida's weak building codes. The Gulf looks worst than the Tsunami area. As for blizzards, no thanks, left that many years ago to put up hurricane shutters :). >>> oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 08/31/05 1:25 PM >>> More than fair - I would be tempted, but I am more willing to face 20 below zero, blizzards and snow blowers than a hurricane.

I have a great position in the low cost of living and really nice city of Tally Florida. I am looking for an experienced Oracle dba. Does anyone have any ideas on the best place to recruit - orasearch, monster.com, dice.com?? It is for a permanent contracted position (ie. All the benefits, time-off of state gov.) with good pay esp. for the area $75-85. I am thinking that is solid pay for a low-key government dba position. Am I not seeing the reality of the job market? If anyone has advice on this please let me know. Thanks, Paula -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
