68. at all interested in a daily commute to NYC?

Here's a link to a discussion about the commuting options:

http://www.city-data.com/forum/philadelphia/12246-does-anyone-commute-philly-nyc.html

It sounds like some of the options take less time than many of my current colleagues' commutes but I know a long commute isn't everybody's cup of tea.

If you're interested, I can pass your resume on to HR. Nothing is currently listed for IT but there is a listing that might be what you're looking for. Please forgive my ignorance if this has nothing to do with what you do. It says: Senior Programmer / Analyst CRM, SharePoint and XML.

I'll keep watching the job postings on our intranet and see if any come up for our IT department.
