| cyberanger | Unit193: how's it going | 06:18 |
| Unit193 | Not the worst... Few things that I find odd and one thing IRL that's not good at all | 06:21 |
| Unit193 | How about you? | 06:21 |
| cyberanger | Unit193: multitasking (based on the long time for a reply, badly) but doing pretty good | 06:45 |

| Xpistos | Uhm career builder? but I can get it for you | 19:21 |
| Juzzy | <Xpistos> it is with Symphony Systems for BMC. Tier 2 support for a program called BladeLogic. they wanted someone with Linux and Database expeience | 19:21 |
| Juzzy | nice, they are hiring bladelogic support peeps? | 19:21 |
| Xpistos | yes | 19:21 |
| Juzzy | BMC is a big ass company | 19:21 |
| Xpistos | Yep | 19:21 |
| Xpistos | They are "home sourcing" | 19:21 |
| Juzzy | ya, like most | 19:22 |
| Xpistos | They are about 3k too low but we will see what happens | 19:22 |
| Juzzy | pfft | 19:22 |
| Juzzy | 3k isnt anyhting to balk over | 19:22 |
| Juzzy | well | 19:22 |
| Xpistos | when you are eating ramen everyday it is | 19:22 |
| Juzzy | once opn a time, I remember when $3k was like 1/4th of my annual income heh | 19:23 |
| Juzzy | yea heh | 19:23 |
| Juzzy | well, I'm more refering to all the other things about the job | 19:23 |
| Juzzy | the pay is just 1 of many facets | 19:23 |
| Juzzy | I would take a $3k pay cut to work from home in a heartbeat | 19:24 |
| Juzzy | maybe $0k | 19:24 |
| Juzzy | $10k | 19:24 |
| Juzzy | it's like saying, if I paid you $70k for a shitty job you'll hate | 19:25 |
| Juzzy | or $65k for a nice boss, more fun work but shitty commute | 19:25 |
| Juzzy | or $60k for a shitty boss and great commute | 19:25 |
| Juzzy | or $55 for work from home, fun job, great boss | 19:25 |
| Xpistos | pace_t_zulu: should I email it to you at haitas.com | 19:26 |
| Juzzy | ^-- point being, money is all relative | 19:26 |
| Juzzy | when we hired a jr linux guy, the position was for a Jr guy, we didnt have a need for a $90k sr admin | 19:27 |
| Juzzy | the position was for $55 i think | 19:27 |
| Juzzy | 55-60 | 19:27 |
| Juzzy | so ppl would appl for a jr job | 19:27 |
| Juzzy | and be like "you guys dont pay enough" | 19:27 |
| Juzzy | I'm like "no, we're paying for the position we need." | 19:27 |
| Juzzy | but the "jr guy" rocked and took the lesser pay | 19:28 |
| Juzzy | and 6mo later got a $10k raise | 19:28 |
| Juzzy | actually 13k | 19:28 |
| Juzzy | 57 -> 70 | 19:28 |
| Juzzy | but anyways | 19:28 |
| Juzzy | http://imgur.com/gallery/GYNVc | 19:30 |
