Shared on Fri, 09/07/2007 - 15:02So I put my resume on dice.com and monster.com over the last two days. I'm happy to see that the vipers known as recruiters are all over it. I seem to get at least one call or voice mail every few hours and e-mails throughout the day for positions in areas all around Mass and New Hampshire.
Most fit my skill range although a few have been under my level and pay so I had to pass those up (although many sound awesome). The biggest problem I have with switching jobs is I'm a bit about my 'routine.' I like my commute, I like the fact that I know many folks here since I've been here for nearly five years. Looking for a job has become easy because I don't look, I let them find me. But I still have to consider them all, look at how far the commute is and plan to change my routine and start something new.
So, it's a bit stressful even for a guy that's not usually about stress. It takes a lot to break me when it comes to situations because I'm too laid back to care most of the time :-) However, taking calls at work and running into empty rooms to try to talk gets a bit tiring but what can a guy do? Just stay at his company and get screwed?
No, I've got to take action. But I don't have to like it. :-)
The weekend is coming up, so perhaps I'll get a bit of time to play some more Call of Duty 4 beta and work some of the new content they're delivering. Luckily more and more 2o2p folks are getting into it which means I don't have to play with random kids.
I have kids, kids are wonderful. As long as their yours and they respect others. But man, these kids on LIVE... the only thing they respect is their own self centered little worlds. It helps me guide my own kids to a better future.
Oh, and listening to SysChaos telling the kids to respect their parents and to do the right thing is very funny to see. I was waiting for her to utter the famous Hulk quote, "Drink your milk, say your prayers and eat your vitamins."
