A last minute dialogue change on this one. One of my readers let me know that I’d typo’d the previous comic right before I was going to bed. Initially, I was going to correct that one when I got home from work tonight…and then at 2:30AM, I realized that I liked the typo better than the original, and rewrote the dialogue for today’s comic on the spot.

Back in the day, the Southern California contract programming market was nuts. There were quite a few exployees at the time. Companies did it to themselves, however, because it was also the location of the worst of the software sweat shops. If you are going to work 80 hour weeks, at least you get paid for every one of them. Southern California Edison was one of the worst of the lot! Avco Finance was another.
And it doesn’t mean she is immortal either.
