| pleia2 | ah, we don't have to do it that day, we can do it on the 16th if you'd rather | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| pleia2 | we need to decide soon though | 00:00 |
| pleia2 | or on the 30th :) | 00:00 |
| FFEMTcJ | I don't really care.. | 00:00 |
| FFEMTcJ | Whatever is best for others | 00:00 |
| FFEMTcJ | I could always come up with a case of anal glaucoma | 00:00 |
| pleia2 | o_o | 00:01 |
| FFEMTcJ | if you know what that is | 00:01 |
| cprofitt | hello all | 03:22 |
| cprofitt | pleia2: how are ya doing? | 03:22 |
| pleia2 | cprofitt: exhausted :) | 03:23 |
| pleia2 | cprofitt: you? | 03:23 |
| cprofitt | De-motivated... lost... confused... | 03:23 |
| cprofitt | other than that... | 03:23 |
| cprofitt | fine | 03:23 |
| nigel_nb | cprofitt: what de-motivated you? | 03:24 |
| cprofitt | I am just not sure what to do about that potential job opening nigel_nb | 03:24 |
| nigel_nb | whether to take it or not? | 03:25 |
| cprofitt | http://www.spencerportschools.org/jobs.cfm?job=3950&cat=3&getjob=1 | 03:25 |
| cprofitt | well... if I should apply actually | 03:25 |
| nigel_nb | what are you waiting for ? go for it | 03:26 |
| cprofitt | well... | 03:26 |
| cprofitt | it would add 1 hour to my drive time each day | 03:26 |
| cprofitt | they would likely want me to work 10 hours more a day than I do now | 03:27 |
| nigel_nb | keeps you away frm your kids longer right? | 03:27 |
| cprofitt | I like being near my kids... despite them being annoying at times | 03:27 |
| nigel_nb | :) | 03:27 |
| cprofitt | the money would only be between 1K and 14K more... | 03:27 |
| cprofitt | the 14K would be good... | 03:27 |
| nigel_nb | :P | 03:28 |
| nigel_nb | but its only 12 months? | 03:28 |
| cprofitt | I also have to wonder if it would impact my involvement in FOSS | 03:28 |
| cprofitt | its a permanent position unless I screw up | 03:28 |
| cprofitt | in EDU space all administrative positions are listed as 12 months | 03:28 |
| nigel_nb | oh | 03:29 |
| nigel_nb | then u are in a dilemma my friend | 03:29 |
| nigel_nb | you'll need to make call, whats important in life for you | 03:30 |
| nigel_nb | now I get your situation :( | 03:31 |
| cprofitt | exactly.... | 03:31 |
| cprofitt | while it would be nice to have a more 'leadership' position and $$$ to go with it.... | 03:31 |
| cprofitt | the time would take me away from my family and potentially away from F/OSS stuff. | 03:32 |
| cprofitt | there is also a fear it would be mostly a 'paperwork' job and not a 'technical' job | 03:32 |
| nigel_nb | F/OSS would be something you'll live with, but I think the more important thing is being away from your family | 03:33 |
| nigel_nb | you can't move closer? | 03:33 |
| cprofitt | no... my oldest is in school already -- and really do not want to move her | 03:34 |
| cprofitt | F/OSS is my 'hobby' right now... my 'relaxation' | 03:35 |
| nigel_nb | same here | 03:35 |
| nigel_nb | the only way I can get rid of the frustration at work | 03:35 |
| nigel_nb | to talk to a few people half way around the world and help people | 03:35 |
| nigel_nb | what did pleia2 say? | 03:36 |
| cprofitt | pleia2: did not comment. | 03:36 |
| nigel_nb | :( | 03:36 |
| pleia2 | pleia2 is still half on vacation :) | 03:36 |
| nigel_nb | I thought the weekend was up :) | 03:37 |
| pleia2 | catching up on about a hundred thousand little things I've let go throughout the week | 03:37 |
| nigel_nb | hehe, UDS plus thanksgiving strain? | 03:38 |
| pleia2 | yeah, I'm a mess :) | 03:42 |
| pleia2 | and pretending I don't have a cold | 03:42 |
| cprofitt | sorry to hear that pleia2 | 03:43 |
| pleia2 | I am not sure if I do, or if I'm just tired and having allergy issues | 03:43 |
| cprofitt | I am not sure... if I would rather a cold or the decision I am facing | 03:44 |
| nigel_nb | I'm here running around barking like mad | 03:49 |
| nigel_nb | caught a cough on monday, refuses to leave me alone | 03:49 |
| cprofitt | err.. why? | 03:49 |
| cprofitt | I truly wish I could get a 'state' job that lets me do FOSS | 03:50 |
| cprofitt | that is what I want... | 03:50 |
| cprofitt | ... now the question is how to 'make' or 'find' that job | 03:50 |
| pleia2 | cprofitt: is this potential new job on the path to finding a foss job? | 03:53 |
| pleia2 | I suck at career counseling, but it seems to me that if you really want a state job that does foss, taking opportunities in that direction would help (and making sacrifices for those that won't might be silly) | 03:54 |
| cprofitt | pleia2: true... | 03:55 |
| nigel_nb | pleia2: +1 | 03:55 |
| cprofitt | no... the new job would more than likely = less techcnial pleia2 | 03:55 |
| * pleia2 nods | 03:55 | |
| cprofitt | there is a small chance, since I would be making decisions... that I could move the district to using FOSS | 03:56 |
| nigel_nb | I was about to ask you that :) | 03:56 |
| cprofitt | I would not make all the decisions... as other administrators, teachers etc would have a say | 03:57 |
| cprofitt | but I could stear that direction... | 03:57 |
| cprofitt | on the back end the call we be more mine than theirs... but front end would be more suggesting | 03:57 |
| cprofitt | that again is what complicates things... | 03:59 |
| * pleia2 nods | 03:59 | |
| cprofitt | that and my job is very stable... a new one would put me on a 12 month probabion period | 04:00 |
| cprofitt | probation | 04:00 |
| pleia2 | do you like your current job? | 04:00 |
| cprofitt | I love my job. | 04:00 |
| cprofitt | query pleia2 | 04:00 |
| cprofitt | hope you got the private | 04:01 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 04:01 |
| cprofitt | night all | 04:17 |
| * _marx_ wishes cprofitt great wisdom | 04:20 | |
| FFEMTcJ | pleia2: ? | 16:58 |

| FFEMTcJ | have you still not heard from Saj0577 ? | 17:44 |
| pleia2 | FFEMTcJ: nothing from Saj, I think we have to give up on his help for now | 17:45 |
| FFEMTcJ | Gotcha.. | 17:46 |
| pleia2 | BT has a meeting tomorrow evening, we'll talk to them about "officially" helping us with userdays then | 17:48 |
