Some of you have been privy to my situation the last few days. As of January 27th (a Friday), I was told by the resource planning department at my company (from herein referenced as `The Company') that I might have an assignment at either NASA, or on an Army project ( Read more... )

Okay, so I feel guilty a bit about this. I've been telecommutting on my dead weeks because theres literally nothing for me to do in the office. However I don't do much at home either, probably about the same that I would do in the office. Not being on a project, and having my supervisor be a few states away on his project doesn't really mandate ( Read more... )

I just realized that everyone's favorite SG-1 Colonel, and later Brigadier General, Jack O'Neil, also everyone's favorite inventer and gadget guy, MacGyver's birthday is today ( Read more... )

Ever had an epiphany that wasn't so much a revelation of something new, but an acknowledgement of something you've known for a while but never really gave much thought to ( Read more... )

I've been telecommutting most of this week, seeing as there is nothing for me to do in the office any way. It saves me two hours of commute time, and I've been able to avoid having to do laundry too soon (I had 2 weeks+ of clothing to wash when I got back from Detroit and I've only just finished doing it today). Next week marks my last week of ( Read more... )

Currently hanging out in my hotel room in Detroit on Big Beaver Rd.; as it happens it is exit 69, not Rt. 69 it is off of. Oh, and there is a Hooters not too far off the road too. The comic genious here is phenomenal. Internet is free so it makes things even better. Only bad thing that I can cite is a headache I am promptly developing for some ( Read more... )

Well not really Florida-style, more like "I've got a breather from the conference and I'm skipping out on poker night to check email and sleep early." Any way, the conference for PTC down in Lake Buena Vista has been interesting. I finally met my career coach and have had a really superb time meeting, and talking to a number of people, making ( Read more... )

So apparently I'm not going to have a lot of free time when I'm in Orlando (I also won't have a vehicle of my own, they are planning on shuttling us to and from the airport and having us attend restaurants and things within walking distance). The conference lasts from the 4th to the 6th and it is 3 days of seminars (so on those days I won't have a ( Read more... )

Okay, this won't be a long entry (probably pretty short), but I figured I'd leave an update. Currently I'm sitting in my hotel room at the Hyatt in Lisle, IL (about 30 minutes outside of Chicago) trying to figure out what exactly I need to do for tomorrow's training. Since I don't know when anybody is leaving for the class, and all that jazz. I ( Read more... )

Alright, so I have revived my desktop computer. It lives again! Though it took a nice chunk out of what I will get in my first pay check (about $500.00) but it needed to be done. I upgraded to an AMD64 bit architecture which has caused me more problems then I care to admit, but now that I'm up and running its a good thing, everything seems to be ( Read more... )
