TEK is looking for contractors to work at the Oracle ASP facility.
They are doing a major hardware upgrade to reduce power and space
consumption.  It might be a little lower than you want, though.
Starting $/hr is $35-45 (and they are quite resistant to the high
end).  You can get medical out of the gate.  And it is contract to
hire.  Some is off-shift (4x 10 Thurs-Sun).  I can hand you to a
recruiter if you'd like.

I've been talking to them, but they expect me to be in Austin 3 weeks
after acceptance, and I'm leary of committing to that with the fact
that I have to give 2 weeks notice and am currently spending 13-14
hours at work and commuting.  1 week to get my shizzle together and
get to Austin seems at bit killer.

However, I found out today that my idiot boss didn't verify with OPM
that my civilian clearance had been completed and activated, so I may
get sent home since that's a requirement of their contract with
$gov_agency I work for.

I'm interested in the Austin job b/c I want to go back to school so I
can switch careers.

According to the latest job stats, there's more growth in Dallas, so
you might want to look there as well, depending on your custody
arrangement.

Good luck--
