OT: got a new job!

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

I'm going from being a dispatcher (40 hours a week @ $13.68 with benefits) to a system technician I (25 hours a week @ $11 with no benefits). It is 25 hours a week because it is a student worker position here at the university. So I'll be able to focus more on school and hopefully graduate faster, since I'm only taking 2 classes per semester right now.

But I will get to spend 25 hours a week working on my projects, programming, doing level I maintenance and fixes, and seeing how much I can increase my farm.

I'm happy. It's time I got out of this dispatching gig, and moved on. And I couldn't be happier. :beer: to Liz, who is helping me with all this, and :beer: to everyone else, as I'm in a good mood. Okay, back to work.

Nice, good luck with the new gig and focusing on your studies!

You forgot all the love and support you get from our Dogghters!

Congratulations! I'm making a similar move too! I'm moving away from my on campus IT job and into a startup BioTech company (still doing IT Helpdesk). I put in my two weeks about a week ago.

Changes are so exciting!

Congrats, FMC!
I hope that your plans will be fullfilled!

Woot. I did that twice this summer, migrating from job to job. Went from IT Helpdesk with any platform @ 14.75 w/ a horrible boss to a linux helpdesk @ 14 w/ horrible job descriptions to a mac helpdesk @ 13 that is awesome. =)

Congrats. I spend most of my day writing scripts and playing with Macs I can't afford. It's fun.

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

Thanks everyone. I put it my two-weeks notice yersterday. Glad to hear everything worked out PCTC2. and hopefully Alyx and I will have similar results.

Well, congrats PCTC2 and Fullmetal Chocobo ! I hope all goes well.

I have good news myself. I just got assigned as the production manager for our department, and got a 10k/year raise.

That's a lot of silicon to go up in smoke!

I fully understand the idea of having to pay bills and all, but sometimes a paycheck isn't worth the BS work environment...
