As some of you may know I have been on an extended vacation for the past 2 1/2 months. The time has come for my lazy a$$ to start working again (Hopes of hitting the lottery didn't really pan out). My first day is tomorrow and I must say I'm sorta excited and also bummed at the same time. I haven't been up before noon in such a long time that I'm kinda worried that I'll oversleep on my first day . I realize now how much I dreaded Sunday's . Thanks for listening to my useless banter as I really don't have a point to this thread, other then to say I hate WORK!!! Arghhh!!

 

Congrats and good luck John.


I know the feeling bro.

 

Cool man, good to hear that!
I guess you won't be able to hang out as much now.

 

Hey! That's great. Where are you going to be worknig?

I myself will have a modified gig after 10/15. I will keep you all informed.

 

Hey John, good going dude!

But don't forget about what we talked about at B&N one night about our dream job.
I wasn't drunk or anything, I was pretty serious.
I just have to move my lazy butt to start some day.
Once I get going, I am going to entice you to be my partner along with other talented and interested people.
Should I keep on dreaming or wake up and smell the coffee and face harsh reality?

 

Sounds like my roommate......he just collects his $375 unemployment check each week and plays video games all day. He would rather get the check than look for a job!

Congrats!......it seems good jobs are getting harder to come by these days.

 

I just got home from my first day at the office. I must admit that I have lost a step or two and I didn't feel as sharp as I did before . I'm sure it will come back to me with time, considering I've been bumming around for over 2 months. Started the day off with 2 booring meetings (nothing ever changes) and then kinda cruised the rest of the day.

Andy- I thought the world was coming to an end when my alarm clock ran this morning.

Jackie- I'm still coming out to B&N on Fridays to hang out with you guys. Oh and let's not forget the Hooter meets and karting.

EJ- You can't leave us hanging like that. I really hope the new gig is what I think it is .

Randy- I haven't forgotten, actually I'm more committed to our 'dream' job then before.

John- The IT market is definately hurting right now, especially for people in middle management like myself . I kinda luck into this position and needless to say I'm not quitting from this job no matter what. Well atleast not for a little while.

Thanks everyone for wishing me luck. Hopefully I'll be happier here then at the other 'labor camp' I was at before.

 

Congrats on surviving the first day!

That's because all the real techs like myself hate the middle management people (The Man).

Just razzin' ya a little, preparing you for the worst (working with folk like me).

Congrats again.

 

Working with Sr. level admins is no sweat. Don't get me started on managing help desk techs.... I was once a 'real techie' too, now I just crunch numbers, write up proposals and attend meetings all day .

 

Damn John... seems like we're in the same boat. Today was my first day after being unemployed for 2 1/2 months as well. You however have the luck of not being married and therefore are able to sleep till noon. I on the other hand had a list of things to do from the time I got my 8:30 am wake up call each morning... Oh well... At least I get a break now and can go back to work. Hey Randy, what's this dream job and how come I wasn't invited to participate!? That's not nice! I'm heading up to NY this weekend so I'm not in for B&N this week but I'm thinking next Friday maybe hooters dinner and then off to B&N (sans local police escort this time). Any takers??
