So I tought I'd post

I'm currently job searching while listening to Pink Floyd, what is everyone else doing?

[TechZ]

Looking for employment myself as it happens.
Planning on starting my MBA course in January 2006.

Cleaning up the laptop too

[Garak]

I've just decided to check the site before heading for bed after a long, busy day. It's been flat out at work lately.

Here in Okieland, I've been having fun chasing down the documentation proving whether, or not, my section resolved the recommendations of an internal audit done on our Purchasing Department way back in 2000. I have become nothing but a paper pusher, since my last promotion. God, how I long for the days when I was a programmer.

Prepared to commute?

[NooNoo]

hmmm considering flattening my lappie and turning it into a portable oracle box.

[rant]Why is it that I cannot get a nice easy job like the tech in my uni has???? He didn't know how to change the target drive for my documents in 2k, nor did he know about how to change the templates folder in word, he looks after the oracle server - how come he doesn't know about init.ora? I spent 30 minutes sorting out cosmetic things that he didn't know how to do (mostly reg changes or shortcuts to valid places etc) and then he says he will reimage all the machines???? WTF? why???? just merge a freaking reg file with the changes....update the image by all means, but all of the changes done manually would take me less time than reimaging a machine.....oh and they have never heard of multicasting so the boot each machine with a floppy one at a time and install the image from a mapped drive.... push from server.... what's that he said AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH HHHH [/rant]

You must learn that the bits that fit between this question & that answer have a great deal to do with re-colouring your nose !

[confus-ed]

.. but oh yeah what have I been up to ?

Err not much, chasing (very un-sucessfully I might add), various "f'ers" who seem to think my cash flow is theirs , so far I've had a whole host of unbelievable reasons, but the star prize, goes to a bloke who almost literally lives up a mountain, who told me he'd had a flood !

Why can't I lie like that ? Maybe then I could get a cushy network techies job !

I am at work, working on a bulletin. I am getting ready to leave in 15 minutes to look for a new car (either a minivan or a hybrid), needs to be a bigger car to lug around two labs(DOGS), a son and a hubby.

[TripleRLtd]

huh?

I think -ed was referring to "brown nosing". But, that may not be necessary. Why don't you just help the current uni tech out with his job, sort of like volunteering (like you do here), and not just making him or her seem like a joke. After a while, the "powers that be" will indeed notice, and soon that "cushy" job may just be yours. Colleges really like those that volunteer at first. That is how I got my lead tech job at a college many moons ago, after all.
Good luck on the vehicle search Ames. I have a mini van for sale,btw. I just bought a compact Pontiac Vibe that gets over 30 mpg, as I didn't need all that space any longer. Gas prices are a killer nowadays. This little Vibe carries lots of cargo when needed and it's fun to drive. It's the same as a Toyota Matrix, give it a look.

He gets $40 an hour to sit on his *** and reset passwords - help him?? He won't be taught anything, I would just end up doing it all and him still being paid $40 an hour.

I post here because (for the most part) people learn, not because I want to do other people's jobs for them.

You too!

Otherwise listening to Harry Chapin, writing stern letters (see above) and waiting for the footie to kick off!
