At $54 an hour Honeywell is getting a sweet deal. Their overhead costs would
put you in the $125-175 / hr range.

Are you paying omissions insurance for that work? Do you have a hold
harmless or indemnification agreement for the work? Do you know what
liability insurance for programmers cost? You aren't doing this work as an
individual are you?

It's all sweet, until something goes wrong. Hopefully you won't be paying
with your personal assets.

Scotty,
I've worked 3 jobs for the past 20 years in order to put myself, my

wife
and
kids through college (6 undergrad and 2 grad degrees). You already know

what
my day job is. At night, I draw electrical schematics in AutoCAD and

program
ddc graphics for Honeywell. On the weekends I have what has turned into

a
cushy job operating a power plant (sounds better than boiler room).
I used to open the boilers and work all the mechanical projects, but on

the
midnight shift I just watch gauges, flip switches, open and close

valves,
and read read read. Oh, and sometimes I come on here to make a little
trouble. Pathetic, eh?

That's always been my contention, unions were needed back then, and
they worked . unfortunately they've gone too far in a lot of cases.
Why are you up at 0400?
