If so -- wanna invest some of yous surplus sums in 'stonian archaeology then, Elvis?Or do a charity concert at the opening of this year's Hanseatic Days in my hometown?The former 'd be better but the latter wouldn't be unwelcome either, sir.
Oh c'mon, Elvis! Cheer me up, dude! ;)

Charity, as they say, begins at home so I'm investing my sheckels in the Elvis Telecom Relocation Project, coming soon to the 212/718/201 yo.

Today I quit my job.
Well, I gave notice... Two month notice to be precise, but I'm sorta in a critical position (netadmin/manager type) and I think my boss appreciated the two month heads up. More to the point I think she was jealous because I was getting rid of everything and just bailing on UCI, California, life in general. Anyway, pretty much the entire world knew that I was moving to NYC except for UCI and I've had a lot of angst trying to feign interest in department stuff, when I'm really thinking about packing the car and bailing east with JBR.
In celebration I drank an entire bottle of champagne and ate some cookie dough ice cream. Yay me!

My dad died twenty years ago today. Figured I should post something somewhere. One of my fave memories is our occasional drives out to Las Vegas: his games of choice were black jack & keno, mine were Asteroids & Tempest. I suppose it was our version of father/son time - instead of sports, it was driving, diner food, and gambling with the ocassional stop at Edwards to see the space shuttle land or a quick stop at the dry lake bed N of Baker to practice driving a stick shift transmission.
Anyway I swear I didn't plan to be in Vegas today - it just kinda worked out that way. This morning I won $400 on roulette and slots, so thanks dad wherever you are! I still miss you a lot.

The way I found out was when I got to work and my computer login had been changed. After a half-hour of fumbling around, someone finally told me "oh, <supervisor name> wants to meet with you"

Aw, man, that is teh suck. And the worst way of finding out, too, like, no warning? I hope you didn't lose too much in the ways of MP3s, assorted digital clutter etc.
But I will cross fingers and hold thumbs that you find something soon. x

that seems like really bad form, or is that standard practice for terminating tech employees, now, for fear of computer retribution?

Pretty much standard practice. Just feel like a dumb ass for sitting there for so long before someone bothered to tell me.

i dunno if there's a right way to let someone know they're being let go, but this still seems wrong wrong wrong.

I keep all my digital clutter on my own railroads so to speak. The only thing I lost was, ironically, a copy of my resume that I had been updating. I've been strategically casting about for a new job for about a month now. I've been working there for just over six years and it was about time for me to move on... I just wanted to be able to do it on my own schedule. The other annoyance is that my 401K contribution from them had just hit 100%, which means that I was a relatively expensive employee doing work that could be outsourced and/or performed by much lower priced people.
and thanks for the wishes!

Most difficult part... The CTO (who's only been there for six months) didn't really have a checklist, so I had to go around and turn in keys, garage remote, and ID badge myself. When I went to turn in my badge at HR (which is in another building) they were surprised to see me there so I got this weird look over. Felt like saying "no I'm not a goddamn disgruntled Batman shooter."

Chris, really sorry to hear that. I hope (and expect) you'll be able to find something else quickly.
