I hate looking for work!
I've sent out eight or nine applications. I've got one phone interview today (a Redhat Linux support job), another company digging around to see if they can find a job for me, and others I need to call back.
Your place for discussion about RPGs, gaming, music, movies, anime, computers, sports, and any other stuff we care to talk about...
I think I may be out of work
- Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.
I'm lookin' for a newer job too but I'm in a good position so I can wait for the right one. It's hell otherwise, i agreeAndrew, Killer Bee wrote:I hate looking for work!

I was there on that fateful day, were you?
I forgot about this thread!
I found work: similar position in the same industry for exactly the same pay (I should have asked for more, as they didn't blink at my salary expectations.).
My new company's structure is a lot looser than the last one's, which is great for me as it means I get to do a heap of stuff my way. It helps also that they're developer-starved: anything that I can do to help with dev stuff is appreciated. I've gotta learn JSP if I want to play with the big boys' toys, though, which is a bit disappointing.

Learn JSP, demand more $$$.Andrew, Killer Bee wrote:I forgot about this thread!

That is the plan!
Fuck me, though. JSP. Java! Belly of the beast!

Java is like COBOL. Everybody wants programmers that know it, but it's a fucking garbage language.
Rosalina: But you didn't.
Robert: But I DON'T.
Rosalina: You sure that's right?
Robert: I was going to HAVE told you they'd come?
Rosalina: No.
Robert: The subjunctive?
Rosalina: That's not the subjunctive.
Robert: I don't think the syntax has been invented yet.
Rosalina: It would have had to have had been.
Robert: Had to have...had...been? That can't be right.

Have you ever had to write COBOL? That's a cruel comparison.SineSwiper wrote:Java is like COBOL. Everybody wants programmers that know it, but it's a fucking garbage language.
Yes, I've developed a bit in Java. It's a total memory and CPU hog. It works when you need a Java applet, but too many people develop for it when you are just working on one Linux/Apache system. It's designed to be a multi-platform system, but that's all it should be used for.Kupek wrote:Have you ever done any significant development in anything other than Perl?

I'm on shaky ground again, but I'm planning on getting out ahead of this latest company catastrophe. No loyalty here, bitches! It's been ground out of me!
