| blahdeblah | head_victim: When's the party again? | 05:53 |
| * blahdeblah hasn't had time to scratch himself lately | 05:53 | |
| head_victim | http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-au/1618/detail/ | 05:53 |
| head_victim | Sunday 6th May. | 05:53 |
| head_victim | There will be $10 lunch meals :) | 05:54 |
| blahdeblah | thx | 05:54 |
| blahdeblah | caryb: I'm based up at Caloundra now, so maybe we could carpool for some of the way... | 05:55 |
| head_victim | I've posted it to the HUMBUG as well. One of them has requested to post it elsewhere as well so there may be a few new faces. | 05:55 |
| blahdeblah | head_victim: Got any team business cards still? I'd like to give out a few at QUT when i'm there for classes. | 05:55 |
| head_victim | blahdeblah: indeed I do | 05:56 |
| head_victim | And I think I'll be a QUT student myself soon. I'm basically all but signed up to an MBA at gardens point | 05:56 |
| blahdeblah | You're a stronger man than i. | 05:56 |
| blahdeblah | I'm doing Grad Cert IT, probably leading to Masters eventually. | 05:57 |
| head_victim | Looking at HR majors and a minor in corporate governance. | 05:57 |
| blahdeblah | Eeek! You'll be an untouchable! :-P | 05:57 |
| head_victim | Haha means I'll be very busy :/ | 05:57 |
| head_victim | I looked into IT but just counldn't find an easy ay in from where I am. | 05:58 |
| head_victim | So I've decided to just go hardcore on the corporate management and get up as high as I can there. | 05:58 |
| blahdeblah | Don't you have a bachelor's in something? | 05:59 |
| head_victim | Behavioural Science (Psychology) | 05:59 |
| head_victim | Basically that's a long way of saying "people skills" | 05:59 |
| blahdeblah | QUT Grad Cert/Masters in IT doesn't require IT as your undergrad discipline. | 06:00 |
| head_victim | Yeah but I don't really know enough about IT to get too far into it :/ I'm tempted to try and add in some Project Management stuffs to see if I can get that way. | 06:00 |
| blahdeblah | bah - you'd do fine! | 06:01 |
| head_victim | I'm looking at advancing my wage more than anything. It's only a bonus if I like it. | 06:02 |
| blahdeblah | If you say so. Personally, i think there's no point in the former if you can't have the latter. | 06:03 |
| * blahdeblah has to go - have a good one folks | 06:03 | |
| head_victim | Yeah but I'm actually a little excited looking at some of the HR and leadership topics | 06:03 |
| head_victim | Cheerio mate :) | 06:03 |
| sagaci | sydney release party tomorrow | 09:03 |
| head_victim | sagaci: looks like a few going :) | 09:05 |
| sagaci | yep | 09:05 |
| head_victim | jellyware is in -chat and he's heading in apparently | 09:05 |
| blahdeblah | head_victim: Thou protesteth too much - you would do fine in IT. | 09:05 |
| head_victim | blahdeblah: yeah, but the time to learn enough to get to a position I can support the mortgage is the downer. | 09:07 |
| head_victim | I'm not the sort of person who likes working contracts. | 09:07 |
| blahdeblah | Fair enough | 09:07 |
| blahdeblah | I understand | 09:07 |
| head_victim | I was hoping I can squeeze in some project management into the electives and have a look at that. | 09:07 |
| head_victim | Come in a bit higher up in the chain then. | 09:08 |
| blahdeblah | I'm in the position where i will probably have to go back to working for the man pretty soon just to support the family | 09:08 |
| head_victim | But when I started looking at courses, I really found the leadership and hr stuff interesting as well. | 09:08 |
| head_victim | Yeah I like working for the man, it means steady income. It's less freedom but I am the sort of person that suits. | 09:08 |
| head_victim | Well I hope you can make it down for the release party, I have to head off for a bit but it would be nice to catch up | 09:13 |
| blahdeblah | Take it easy, head_victim | 09:22 |
