And there are far too many tabs open, and the recruiter I had hoped to talk with yesterday (except that my phone was absolutely dead) and which fell through this morning (my fault, with a bit of a dose of new gmail annoyance) is not seeming to be in the office after noon, which is when I responded to her suggestion we talk this morning ( Read more... )

So various and sundry:
1) I’d love to be of some help in getting my former colleague a new position - anybody vaguely NoVA (ish) need an experienced Enterprise Architect?

Basic update: I have a job to go to in the morning - different company, sister department, same building, currently same desk. I've met the guy I'll be working under, and I like him well enough.

Comments off. I'd said my goodbyes and had plans for the time off and the job hunt. I have no stomach for congratulations re this.

Someone's rearranged my desk. Moved a bunch of papers over to a corner of the file cabinet, moved all the meds and teas and gatorade powder and hand sanitizer and stuff over there too, taken everything out from /under/ my desk and stacked it behind a different chair ( Read more... )
