A gift certificate/card is a great idea for someone who's moving, Jesse. It doesn't need to be packed and they won't have any idea what they might need in the new place. I vote for Amazon because, as you suggest, it can be used for anything.
Now, I have another hivemind question before my interview tommorrow. Which of these outfits sounds ok? I have a medium blue linen shirt, but am worried about wrinkles because the drive is 30 min just to get there. I also have a navy blue and a blue green shirt, I have tan pants, navy pants and black pants.
I'm leaning toward the blue green shirt with the black pants, but am not sure. Should I go with the navy shirt and tan pants? My other shirt color choices are purple and red. But, I'm not sure about the "business-likeness" of those.
Help?
I think any of those colors sound fine, and Id go with the black pants and whatever shirt you feel the best in, assuming they are all equivalent levels of niceness.
They are practically identical, except for the color. Thanks, Jesse!
Candlesticks always make a nice gift.

Okay, our ex-developer makes me laugh. He seriously expects me to keep track of his queries and what exactly they do--I'm just grateful it's a programmer writing them and not me. But he's come back to defend the virtue of his replacement and push back on the requirements and he's just so politely frustrated that it cracks me up.
I'll fight for the developers--I figure that's part of my job whether I'm a business analyst, project manager, or personnel manager. Someone needs to look out for them. But you do have to walk me through some of the minutiae, because I'm seriously not keeping track.
Looking around from ita's link (yes! I clicked on ita's link! and my brain is still intact ... well as much as it was before) I found this.
Yeah, if you have a blog reader, Laughing Squid is an excellent blog to subscribe to.
