'morning stosh.
The boss approached me yesterday about potentially creating and promoting me into an I.T. position to assist in the support of three local bankruptcy offices. Not PC support (helpdesk) type work, but to look at their processes, look at what's available, and help streamline their work so it's making the best use of available resources.
Nothing is definite and he needs to get the other offices on board with the idea but it's cool that he shows that kind of faith in me - it's not like I've been working there that long.

sounds like almost a consulting position. Regardless - good luck. If it doesn't work out for whatever reason, at least you know your boss sees/appreciates your work.binary visions said:

Mornin Stosh, hung with my friend from Brooklyn last night, he had a pretty big ordeal trying to get onto the plane yesterday to get back to P-Burgh... his license had expired 8 hours prior to trying to board the flight (just had a birthday on tues) and they wouldn't let him on, so he had to spend $120 to go back to his apartment to get Soc. Sec. card and back to the airport again to get on the flight. We had a few beers and shot the sh!t.
I am taking Friday off so I can get ready for the wedding I am in this weekend... lots of work and lots of money for this one!
Have a great time on the slopes... we had some colder temps yesterday finally!!! I am sick of cleaning my bike from riding in the sloppy mud!

What do you teach?
Morning all,
Nothing much going on here, just afternoon temps in the high seventies. Got to go for my P test today for the new job. They want me to start in two weeks and a couple of days, but I won't give notice till I know the lab work is complete. I don't do drugs, but I did work in a lab and I know mistakes can happen.

Morning - worked late last night and then came home, made a fried egg samwich and then watch the War that Shaped America on PBS - pretty good series on the French and Indian War and now it is moving in to talk about the early stages of the Revolutionary War. I learned a lot about G. Washington through this show. He was almost killed several times fighting for the British in the French and Indian War - and he was also pretty much a land grabber. It is a good series. 
Here is another interesting fact by told to us by my history teacher. I am not sure if it is true, but he said that during the French and Indian War George Washington made an assault on Fort Wilderness. He found that no one was in the fort, and that he was surrounded by the French and the Indians. He could either fight or surrender, so he surrendered and the French made him sign a peace treaty. The peace treaty that he signed was written in all French and essentially gave the French all of America. Of course this was not honored, but my history teacher is banned from Mount Vernon because he is published as saying that George Washington was a "21 year old idiot who gave away the nation."MMcG said:Morning - worked late last night and then came home, made a fried egg samwich and then watch the War that Shaped America on PBS - pretty good series on the French and Indian War and now it is moving in to talk about the early stages of the Revolutionary War.

Other than that I am doing well, my bike is almost together, just need brakes and a saddle then it will be where I want it.
Got most of my work done, but I still have a little bit more to do tonight before I can kick back and relax.
3d Modeling and Rendering using 3ds Max. The fun part of the first night is when I have them all open 3ds Max and seeing the look of fear come over some of their faces.sirknight6 said:

Well, yeah - I would still be working for this office that I'm in now so it won't interfere with benefits or anything. It's very much a "project" job like a consulting position, though, in that I'll have very little in the way of regular, repetitive daily activities.jacksonpt said:
Thanks! I'd be excited if it panned out but I'm not going to hold my breath. I've noticed that things seem to move slower down here
For what?aggrorider said:I get surgery today
Cannibalism? Thats uh, cool...hooples3 said:Last night I had dinner at MOM's , There is nothing like homemade chicken Parm, with baked ziti , sausage, meatballs, pork...made from an italian woman!!!!
Haven't rented a movie since that thread, and yep I got the email! Thanks!narlus said:
Burning has been put on hold too. Too busy I guess.
that could be a very attractive part of the job.binary visions said:
yea, tell me about it - I work for the state... we define the term "slow"binary visions said:Thanks! I'd be excited if it panned out but I'm not going to hold my breath. I've noticed that things seem to move slower down here
Slow in NY is fast anywhere else, especially when it comes to restaurants, grocery stores etc.jacksonpt said:

Good morning. Back to work.
They had been good until a warm, rainy week last week. :mumble: This past Sunday's conditions weren't that great, but better than I expected. From what I hear, this weekend should good again (it's been cold and snowing at Mt Snow).SkaredShtles said:
When I first moved out of NY people kept telling me I talked too fast, I just told them they listened too slow.stosh said:

Class was a 7:30 this morning, so I'm frazzled already, and the snow outside isn't helping. I've got another couple classes today split by a 3 hour break. Fun times.

Everything happens slowly down here. People move slowly, talk slowly, get things done slowly. Just a different way of living.
The only thing they don't do is drive slowly - I've never lived in a place where I felt uncomfortable going the speed limit on some of the roads
We've got a Steamboat trip coming up the middle of next week and it looks like snow is in the forecast for the next 10 days! Hope you guys get some of the goods, too.I Are Baboon said:
