I need to sign some papers accepting an offer to work as a NOC(turn) Technician in Baltimore.  Going to work at 11 at night might be an nice change of pace.  However, I might get more offers this week.  Therefore, I'm currently holding off on signing and returning those papers.  I seem to be walking a thin line.  "If I hold out, will I lose this ( Read more... )

Finally.  Telephone interview.  Formal one not scheduled yet but will be next week some time.  So I don't know.  Midnight shift network tech job.  Hope I don't screw it up.

Back on the job search.  Last year, this time, I had just gotten laid off from a contract job because the company overestimated how much it needed people for an auditing project.  Jobless, I was pissed.  Then, I figured that I could get a year's worth of school in networking and then go for a job again.  Thankfully, the g-parents foot the bill ( Read more... )

Hi, back again. Hope everyone is doing well. I haven't been back in a long time.  It's good to be back.  Later.

Creativity and efficiency, in many ways, are like oil and vinegar. We force the two liquids to be together to make our salad taste better. Oil is lighter, less dense than vinegar.

Faaaaaaarrt! Ah ha. Yeah, my last entry was probably crap: some depressing crap I'm sure. That's about to change. So here I am at my computer being a dork. I am happy as such. You'll soon find me in dork bliss as a new system enters my abode (sp?). I (sp?) am very much a part of the digital photography and pixel processing departments as we ( Read more... )

I read Vanessa's Capital article reporting a post-WWII tragedy revisited and resolved. It was a sad piece. Man searches newspaper archives for record of late uncle's death. There was an old woman's quotation that the research process was a story within a story within a story. Vanessa got in a jab at the Post for not having complete records from ( Read more... )

I love it. The modem has predication algorithms and initiates a hang-up sequence at inopportune moments. My house is made of wood and has a bunch of woods around it which interferes with the wired signal from the phone lines. Also, the wind made by the trees creates electromagnetic pulsification, which jams my telephone and power at random ( Read more... )

I am joining the Annapolis Rowing Club this Fall. Hopefully, I'll get out on a boat as soon as possible though I don't mind the ergs. I'll be going out in the evenings which should be fun. I'd prefer morning practice, but my current work schedule doesn't allow it. I miss crew--going out on the water, beautiful scenery, fun. I have to sign up ( Read more... )
