Employment update, among other stuff: Being a contract tech worker it keeps going on-again off-again this time of year, I was on another 2-week stint with Citi Bank again a couple of weeks ago. There was supposed to be an interview happening with an autoparts supplier for a yearly position doing deskside support, phone interview went fine and ( Read more... )

I have some good news for stolenmilkcrate, she sent me a present that arrived not late, but actually a day early. :D ( Read more... )

So, things haven't been quite as up-turned on the career front as I thought they might be. That contract I was on that was supposed to be for 3-6 months? Yeah, that ran out of work in about three weeks. So I've been stuck in a holding pattern since, although I do have a line on another contract that looks like it should be a solid 6 months at ( Read more... )

Thanks to all you guys before for the congrats on the new job. It actually looks like I'll be starting a week later than expected, but that's fine. I've been to the office I'll be working out of, went there for my drug screen/background check/ID badge photo/etc. It's a nice building, not surprising since the corporations based there are pretty ( Read more... )

Should start work in non-retail corporate IT in about a week or so.

I usually don't do much with valentine's day, but for this I think I'll break a trend.
Although at the same time I'm going to continue a trend, because there's more GitS ahead.

I've been slacking on my monthly updates, I see. I didn't feel much like doing it for a while because I was sicker than I usually tend to get around wintertime with some nasty sort of respiratory infection. Literally started up right before Christmas and didn't die off completely until the middle of January. I became very well acquainted with ( Read more... )

Car is fixed, has been for a couple days now. Had to do the whole radiator, basically. It cost more than I would have liked of course, but not so much that I couldn't justify fixing it, for the present anyway ( Read more... )

I just get started up the interstate on the way home tonight, my heater goes cold and my engine temp shoots up to the red. Augh. I managed to limp it back home, took me about 45 minutes with no heat and an engine threatening to stall out if the RPMs went low enough. Adventure ( Read more... )
