The previous header was a quickie I threw together while still employed.  It did the trick, for a while.

This new one is more meaningful and took a bit more effort.

I'll give a shiny new penny to the first commenter who can identify the source. That's right - a shiny new penny.

Another installment of Job Hunting Idiocy will be posted later this morning.
