I knew it was a bit of a stretch to ask my employer to let me continue on my project from across the globe. Though these days, telecommuting has become a lot more common. It's not considered unusual to find somebody working in Silicon Valley from a farmhouse in Vermont. But a farmhouse in Burrawang, Australia turns out to be an unworkable complication for this particular job.

On Monday I was introduced to my "replacement", and today I was officially requested to tender my resignation, so I guess it's back to the job market once again.

So if y'all know of anybody looking for software pros down under... (or if you just need somebody that can get the job done...)
