All I can do is what I can do - unfortunately, all hiring decisions are 
going to the CEO at present.  Even internal transfers are difficult if 
there's a pay adjustment, I hear.

But 5 months should give them some time to get the hurdles cleared, I 
hope.  The engineering manager said if it were up to him, I'd be back on 
as staff already.

A very good feeling.  I took a component last week (first week back, no 
less) that hadn't been touched since 2010 and got it working without any 
major issues.  Had to ask one of the developers a couple questions, but 
it was really good to take something that had been abandoned after 
version 1.0 and figure out how to get it  working in the upcoming 1.6 
release. :)
