Okay ladies, Back from the interview....

It went well actually. Was easy to sit through and interview when you didnt have any expecations either way. Wasnt nervous, all my answers were crisp clear and very thoughtout... I noticed a huge difference in myself now than I did 4 1/2 years ago when I interviewed. The aviation industry allowed me to handle the pressure very well. Never once was nervous or stumbled over any words...

Seemed like a good job, BUT, they like to work long hours and weekends.. At first they didnt seem geeky, but they turned out to be very GoChiefs like by the end of the interview...

I did realize I am about 1 version behind on most OS's, Exchange, etc.... Not that much of a learning curve. So we will see where it goes.

I did get an job this am working for some guys I am teaching how to fly. They do IT work across the state, BUT they cant hire me until the state pays them their funding for the year. Nice thing is I would get half the salary up front in a lump sum, with the rest being paid out over the course of the next 12 months...

So while I am waiting on that, I am going to keep looking or if Buehler would get his shit together and make the rain stop, some of us would have a chance to make some extra cash. Damn you B! Damn your wet farm lands to hell!

Good news. Hopefully something acceptable comes your way.

Sorry about the rain dude. Yesterday the weather showed 8 clear days, today they threw in 2 that are supposed to be rainy :cuss:

Don't forget to change your exemptions before you get that check.

Yeah, I'm never nervous anymore. I'm checking them out as much as they are me. I am what I am. I don't BS or say I can do "stuff" that I won't be able to prove week 1. We don't match up? cool, I'll be okay.

Explain please?

They broke out the Star Wars costumes and gave you links to Pron?

Sounds like my kind of place! :clap:

ROFL


Lets just say when we were talking about interests outside of work, they broke out talking about how they like to work on their networks at home, blah blah blah...

I figured with the job being in Norman, we would get a little OU talk or some Big 12 action.... Nope nothing like that...


So what is this Pron you speak of?

Ouch dude. Home networks? Brutal.

think of it this way... all skills are perishable & you haven't done any work in the IT field for 2.5 years. They're desperate. no matter what they offer... balk at it. the job is yours' either way. but you should set the tone, and you should make it clear that you think very little of them. I don't see how this would cause you any stress whatsoever.

tell them you speak just a little Hindi, Punjabi, or Urdu and you're Golden.

heh, so you dont like to go home on the weekends and tinker with your home network? ROFL

questions like that are always about how you would fit in with the rest of the people in your department. I can live in both worlds. I've got a Hyper-V installation and set up a 2008 Server core installation, Windows 7 desktops and a 2005 SQL server etc. but, I also spend a lot of my time talking Chiefs football and watching ball games.

I've never understood this. The gaming thing I can get since I'm a gamer, but that's not what I do all day at work and in my mind it's just another form of entertainment/escapism. Coming home and hacking on stuff after I just got done doing that for 10 hours? **** no.

Same here. I don't want to fix shit when I come home from work. My wife has to nag me repeatedly if there is a problem on her laptop, I just don't want to mess with computers after I just got done doing it all day.
