Good and Bad news

[Byte Stryke]

Bad news first,
You folks will be forced to do without my wit and wisdom for a while.


Good news is 60-80 hours a week @ $18/ doing Tech refresh

someone finally hired my dumb-ass.[ROFL1]

Now if I can keep from hard-wiring the firewall to the toilet we will be OK.

[opie011]

Glad you finally got work! I'll take it you won't be able to help me next week?

[clublights]

Unacceptable.

even at 80 hours a week that's only 11.42 hours a day leaving you 11.68 hours a day to play here.. ( you only need one hour of sleep right ? )

Besides who is gunna talk smack to me other then Monky??? ... But I'm tired of him .. Same old shit for the last 10 years... He needs new jokes...

Congrats! [Beer]

[cstone]

Congratulations to them for finding some talent. Soon they will learn that just having you do refresh work is a waste of your mad leet skilz.

Once the checks start you can go back into the buying spree, so everyone can start raising their gun prices on the sale page [Coffee]

I thought I was the only one who did that but I'm sitting on four. The way things are going we better get our money while we can or the gov will be sending us IOU's.

yeah but I got to write "COMBAT ZONE" on the tops of three of them.
180 days per year from the time you return stateside.
I got back the end of 09 and I actually didn't have to file those until June! [ROFL1]

The Gig is 10 weeks, I will keep the nose to the grindstone looking for more work. But I have to make hay while the sun shines.

Jer, PM me your info and I will send it up the flagpole.


Edit:
Rondog a tech refresh is when a company updates their hardware to something from the current decade.
Seriously in college (2003) I was doing this same thing for another company and we were pulling out old 486s

[ChunkyMonkey]

Well, hanging there.. Things are tough.

[jerrymrc]

I for one am glad for two reasons. 1. You will be at work for the day so the rotating "Byte watch" among the mods can take a break and 2. Your deductions to that OASDI line will help me achieve my goal of retiring in 3 years. [Coffee] In all seriousness it is good you found a job, now if my wife could get one..........

[Byte Stryke]

I always thought that the Marines were Dumb as a bunch of rocks... Brave as hell, but nowhere near the top of the ladder in IQ....


we had a meeting this afternoon and the primary topic of this 1-1/2 hour interlude into insanity was getting truck drivers to show up with bubble-wrap and the proper colored shrink wrap and what to do if they dont.

[Roll1]


Someone shoot at me so this all makes sense.
