OH YEAH?!

*TDHT whistles and a carrier-plane flies over MF's house and dumps Jell-O over HIS front yard*

BRING IT ON, BROTHA!

*splashes MF with jello and RUNS AWAY!*

ARGH! Foiled again! You lousy kids!

Thank you for the rep

I was in a similar position a few years ago when I was applying for a job in a local gaming place, and I felt really bad for not letting them know that I'll be there for only those several months. In the end they made it very easy for me because the pay was lousy and they wouldn't do anything about some guys that were making trouble almost every night to the point that I had to call the police one time. Good luck with that job hunt! Sending you some good vibes. ~~~~~

He didn't badmouthed me yet, but it crossed my mind that he might. In that brief time he hang up on me when I turned down the job position and did all those things that I said in my blog about him.

Decisions are important and it will be kind of a trial period for me, they will be closely monitoring me, not just my mentor but other engineers that work closely with him, and they will have the last word about everything but I'll get to propose all approaches, I will be calling the first shots and they will asses how good they are and correct me if I don't do something the right way. They started with this already. All last week I had to make reports, assess some critical points in that system, they are asking me questions about this and that to see how much I have learned so far and how good I'm at reasoning. It's challenging but so creative and interesting that at the moment I don't feel any pressure whatsoever, just the drive to give my best at it. Don't ask me too many questions about my work you'll drown in too much information because I can talk about it endlessly.

Well I guess that you enjoy your free time, you seem relaxed and positive about it. What kind of job are you looking for?

I'm working and enjoying myself, and everything would be just peachy if it wasn't for yesterdays meltdown that I wrote about to NAI in his visitors messages. Other than that, I'm having really the time of my life.

Exciting is that they'll let me make a possible technical solution for one of their district heating place and I'll get to oversee the whole process of ordering the equipment, workforce, installation and test runs, which is so exciting and will last for several months. And as I'm writing this to you I'm having a deja vu feeling like I dreamed of telling you or someone else about this (note to self, check you dreams journal for this).

How are you? Anything exciting at your end?

You and NAI not only share the same body but brains, you both gave me rep for the same thing.

Thanks, btw.

re: deep dark secret thread. LOL

It's ok, I only cried for like 15 minutes.

FAIL!

Just heard this version of it tonight, and I thought of you. It always strikes a chord in me.

I just read your story now! Sorry it took me so long to get to it. You were so prompt in reading and commenting on mine!!

I'm sort of letting it all gel in my brain right now. I can tell you that it evoked sentiments in me and that is rare. Comments to come!

Mmmm pyramid scheme. OK, you whip up the business plan and I will eat a sandwich!

Dude, I love psychoanalysis!

I can relate quite well on a superficial level. BTW your MEAT FOR SALE sign has me cracking up LOL.

Consulting is definitely in my future if I plan to stay in IT. I have to learn some more and get some good certs under my belt but I think I could do pretty damn well at it. I think a good start into that area would jsut to start doing a lot of contract jobs and get a good reputation, then eventually I could break off and just go solo doing my own contracts.

I refuse to do home computer repair though. I can't stand it. I will only resort to that if I am desparate or there is some insanely good opportunity.

Nice! You know I could set you up on a street corner over here if ou need some extra cash. I only take 20% off the top.

That would be sweet if word of your uber landscape skills spread and you make some good money doing that.

Not much new here. I was talking with my boss to try and get a solid plan fleshed out with what is going to be happening in the future with our systems. Our senior tech is officially gone on the 28th and my other counterpart is out on the 14th. In my head alarms are ringing that I need to get something figured out!

It is tough because neither corporation knows wtf they are doing. It is always like that. They don't know, don't know, don't know.... OMG WE NEED THIS DONE NOW GOGOGOGOGOGO.

What a cluster.

There is so much going on I feel like my head is spinning. I think a PM will be in order soon.
