30th August: Rapunzel.
In 1862 in Northern Virginia, however, Major General John Pope was about to get his long awaited comeuppance. Lee was ready to take the offensive against the man he had come to despise, for his over confident bombast and disregard and disrespect of Virginia and the men he had come east to command.
Not heeding his subordinates’ requests for caution, Pope tried once again to break Jackson’s battered Corps(one Brigade did break, but others plugged the gap). On the union far left were only two brigades of Infantry and they were to be assailed by ten times their number. Three Southern Divisions, Hood’s, Kemper’s and Jones’ crashed onto the field, making short work of the outnumbered Northern troops.
Pope did well to recognise the danger when it appeared and sent four Brigades from three different Divisions to hold at Henry House Hill on his left. Remember this was ground fought over 13 months ago, by much the same men and officers, although most were now promoted.
This time around there would be no rout. Understandably, there was much jubilation on the side of the Southerners and a great loss of morale on the Northern side. This sense of martial superiority, begun last Summer at 1st Manassas, was to continue and come to a head on the field of Gettysburg another Summer from now.
Promoted, this one COUNTS!

Hope that’ll be me next year - just finished law school and am articling for $25k/year - that’s the Winnipeg market, but at least I like the office - Public Interest Law Centre. After this I hope to find a job with a substantial increase in pay. Shoot, any job would be a substantial increase!

What is your territory? My company uses some of the services you offer. Not realy my department, but who knows.
I have 6 Counties and part of 2 others in north central North Carolina. I am not allowed to service Arizona from here. :mrgreen:
HOWEVER… if you have any questions or need assistance with anything, let me know :-)

Oh yeah, congratulations too - sorry for the bad manners…

NP my friend.
Today was one of those days when I almost wish I had my OLD job back… large customer who is having some issues that are being fomented by a former employee of our company that is now working for the competition.
Fortunately I am up to the challenge :-)
-
I just read about a Canadian court decision that says even without a non-competition clause in the employment contract, employees can be under a fiduciary duty not to compete with their former employer in terms of soliciting their former employer’s clients etc. - don’t know if that’s your issue and if it is you probably want a real lawyer, but might be something to look into.

1 year non-compete in this case, and it is expired.
-
In that case I recommend SBR

Nah…
Sub sneak in this case. I KNOW this guy, and know how he works. I’ll slip in, get the ONE contract (of 29) that is expiring in the near term to renew with some really great numbers, and my peronal guarantee of service (somethign that is worth a heck of a lot after many years of service with these folks) and then just start down the line renewing the other contracts.
Tony does not yet know that I am the one he is up against :-D
