2/10 WOULD NOT INGEST


WWW
Reply #280 on: October 12, 2011, 02:01:35 PM

To be clear, what I really want is to not be on call every five weeks or robbed of a weekend every month.  I've managed to get to a nice mental place with my current job, and I generally keep myself inside normal business hours, but there's that annoying bit where I'm constantly pestered every time something breaks.  Makes it hard to engineer things, or accomplish anything that takes more than a single workday.

Architect spots are hard to find, although by architect I'm specifically meaning someone who develops new solutions and sets standards while lesser techs do the implementation.  Not necessarily the seagull consultant.  It's that, or enter management.  Which might happen anyway, since finding a job that pays more is going to be extremely difficult in the current climate unless I go the contract SA route.  But I feel like I'm too old for that shit.

Why am I homeless?  Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

Yeah, ok.  I wouldn't call that an Architect as such.  But Good Luck.

What would you call it?  I might be using the wrong term.  I really want to look for "whatever is the next step above UNIX/storage administrator".

Yep, that's a good one.  I might throw that into the resume and see what happens.  Probably lots of travel. Ohhhhh, I see.

Yeah, Systems or Business Analyst (IT) would be that over here.  Basically, the chap who does the process review and says 'Right, Build this.'

It's what I do just now, strangely.

Its what my wife did. Working between the business users and the IT builders.
Now she runs the teams that do this.
She does it as a consultant though, not for one specific company.

finding a job that pays more is going to be extremely difficult
Pay is not always in dollars. Sure, it's tough making chump change here in bumfuck, nowhere. But I can make ends meet with a little leftover for hobbies and vacations, I work a 35 hour week, 9-5 M-F and my weekends are my own, with decent benefits and federal holidays. Something I remind myself of every time I look at jobs around there area, I could make more money but I'd be much more miserable.

I agree completely, which is why I'm not going for the $65x70 week jobs.  I've told people for years that money isn't everything... although the wife disagrees. Ohhhhh, I see.  On the other hand, I want my wife to stop working and for that I need more income.  I'm still not willing to kill myself for it, though.

Awesome, I'll update the resume.  I already do a large amount of this in my current role, I just don't have the force of title to go with it.

The agency I work for here in SW Florida is seeking a computer programmer (MySQL, MSSQL, PHP, C#, .net) and a basic computer technician (nothing network admin level type...we've got about 700+ computers and 300+ laptops that need to be cared for 24/7).

PM me if you want specifics.  

Edit: Side-note, I had the computer tech position for four years.  Was fun, but got burned out fixing spy-ware all the time  awesome, for real.  Still, I assure you the benefits are decent and it'll look good on your resume to have worked at my particular agency.  Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

Edit #2: It's two separate jobs...we're not looking for some uber tech that can do it all  Ohhhhh, I see.

So I finally managed to pass my French exam today, which means my French is now Government Approved...whatever that means.

Well, it Does mean that I can finally proceed to my next position in wonderful...Cotonou, Benin. So, if you for some reason find yourself in that isolated part of the world...say hi.

Just do me a favor and don't get locked up, critically ill/injured, or die in the middle of the night.

To my fellow Canucks in the GTA area, my work is looking for a Senior Technical Analyst who has experience with PeopleSoft. I could probably dig up a Job Description for the position if anyone is interested. Pay at our company is above average, benefits are decent and the workplace is pretty laid back.

If you're interested, PM me.

No, but I did know that they're the birthplace of Voodoo, with the largest market in West Africa (or perhaps all of Africa).

Does anyone have any contacts at En Masse Entertainment?  I just applied for a support position here in Seattle and would appreciate a reference if anyone has one.  Even if it is just to ensure my resume is looked at, that would be great.  Thanks!

It was surprising and... I dunno.  Humbling, actually.  Is that possible when you move to the next level?

I honestly am not sure what to think at this point.  What I will say is this - I have a ton of work ahead of me.

So, yeah, kited a ton of wyverns and now doing the kill ten rats quest.
