Yet Another Job Post
Man what’s with this posting once a month thing? I must be suffering from bloggeritis. HA!
Well, let’s do a little what’s up with alan recrap…
I’m still working at UPS. Big whoppie. I’m getting kind of sick of the place. Not to say I ever loved the place but just lately I’m really burning out on the whole job. It’s just such a brain-dead job. Loading boxes for 4 hours every day will do that.
I put in to be a supervisor but nothing has happened yet. They move pretty slowly on hiring I guess.
I had a job interview today at a company. I feel it went really well. The person I interviewed with was really cool. He is a techy like myself, so we actually talked about computers and stuff. We seemed to click atleast from my feeling on it.
The place is neat. They seem to be a rather young company that’s starting to grow. That’s something I like! Of the few places I’ve interviewed at they’ve all for the most part been rather old and rigid. They’ve been around for a long time and have their set ways. This place just has a strong open and flexible vibe to it.
As far as the actual job goes, it sounds just like something I’ve wanted to do. The IT group at the company is a bit undersized and so they’re very much jack-of-all-trades. While the job is to do web development work they still want someone that can manage servers, do tech support and even get dirty and help wire the office network.
Which I just love the idea of that. Going back to UPS for an example; I get bored doing the same thing all day. The prospect of having some variety every day is nice. It keeps the neurons firing and the brain on edge ready to go at all times.
Anyhoo, I feel good about it and am hopeful they call me back next week for a second interview.
Oh yea… I almost forgot. I just want to give a big thank you to everyone on the Blessed John XXIII Parish Growth Committee. Thanks for praying for me today. I know you’re prayers helped!
