Its good to be the geek

ok,

This is yet another post that has little to do with the house. But eh? So what? The job hunt is comming along swimingly. Its good to be the geek… Its better to be the geek with much sought after skillz. I had a recruiter in the loop contact me today. Aparently the part where I know Amanda comes in handy. Amanda is a open-source backup system. Like netbackup but a lot closer to free. I have spent plenty of quality time with it, so whee ha.. They didnt go running for the hills when I told them how much I need to be making either. 8^) Whee ha! again.. Then there was the other recruiter, they are looking for someone who really knows WebTrends. Wow, thanks to all of the time I have spent hating that program up close and personal I am on the short list of folks in the Midwest who can have valid gripes about how WebTrends does things. I never thought that my skill with that occasionally nasty pile of program would ever make a real difference. More interestingly, they are located in Indianapolis. Hmm Indiana 8^P They understand the 8^P part. So, they are looking to fill this as a work from home position. Yea, I do webtrends more or less as a full time thing, and work from home doing it. There is a certain sweetness to the idea of woking a full time job full time from home. Aparently I would go to Indi about once a month. No problem. Its not that much of a drive, and again No Problem.  Pay might not be asd good as the loop, but still better than here, and hopefully better bennies.. Then it quickly really becomes No Problem, I wouldnt really have to move.. Or more importantly I could live pretty much anywhere and still have the same job. Hrmm, now they really have my attention. There is a certain coolness to working from home.. Wow, my commute would go from 90 minutes, to the current 15 or so minutes to 30 seconds.. Unless I hook a notebook up in bed in which case commute would be 0 minutes. 8^) Granted, gonna have to use the home office with a real desk.. Again, No Problem! I could actually have things shipped to the house as I woud be there to take delivery instead of the crack heads. Sweet!

hmm, things just keep getting more interesting..
