That is the time I unwittingly UNP. What is happening. Am I cursed or blessed. I'm taking on chances. Lock me in the basement and throw away the key.
 
BTW: the Spirit Lake Sioux tribe has started a campaign to retain the 'Fighting Sioux' nikename. They have a website savethefightingsioux.com. And of course some of the knuckle dragging opponents are trying to hijacking the site. I have posted one comment thus far. And I'm sure more are to come. check it out.

World coming to an end?

Damn! I was going to cook a ham this weekend. I guess I'll put in a TV dinner instead.

Well you could quickly join a 'survivor' religious group, and wear a tinfoil hat, then will be saved for this weekend.

Noew theres a thought. Thanks

ah......a fellow geek. [:)]

I'm hoping someday when i grow up they'll yet me play with the servers.

That's pretty much what I've done all my career. Much more UNIX flavors than Windows ones.

There will be one later today according to my boss, who accidentally let it slip. I've seen it coming for a while and have been doing some work on the matter. But....in this economy, only the Good Lord can guarantee a job.

Sorry to hear your news Mynok, and I could say all-sorts of wise words, but I won't. Other than good luck Mate, and you never know what life has in store, but normally it is good.

The new corporate word for all staff, I think is now 'temporary'. [;)]

Yes, they should just revert to the original spelling: "serf"

Hi all,

ORIGINAL: Nikademus

I've been stressing lately because, while i have experienced very good fortune in the last month.....finally getting promoted to full time and now having been given a major raise, the fact remained that i am still "contractual" (and no benefits). Add to that my company has a new VP of IT who is even now looking at the "metrics". I was told i "shouldn't" worry too much....but in the end noone really knows whats coming down the pipe. Worst case...i'm back on the street looking for transit jobs.

Its like my dad told me the other week......even "permanent" jobs arn't really that anymore. One minute your working.....next minute your laid off. There's no such thing as job security anymore, regardless of titles/classificaitons...unless your a fat politician that is.

I like how my friend from NYC put it...."anyone who isn't paranoid about their job these days is an idiot"

Best wishes Nik!

I am yet still in between you two. Part time and no benefit's. Hours have dropped off a bit, again. Still I'm optimistic and keep on chugging along.

Best wishes Marc!

There should always be a place for IT man with experience with UNIX...

BTW, did you "play" with LINUX as well (many smaller companies rely on LINUX for servers)?

I have 5 servers in my company (I am the one and only IT) - 2 are LINUX and 3 are Windows...
