Sorry. I felt some odd compulsion yesterday to share my plight but did so in the midst of a busy day. To elaborate, my group is shutting down at the end of the summer. I will be matrixed over to a new group for the remainder of the year and then in all likelihood laid off. Such is the way things go in the R&D world (or so I'm told). So in preparation, I'm working on getting as many certifications this summer as humanly possible in preparation for the oncoming job hunt. |

If you were to relocate to Mt. Morris, NY, I could probably employ you part time as a paralegal of sorts. |

Thanks. In a strange blessing/curse type of situation because I'm so relatively cheap (see: underpaid) I should be easy to place. I'm skeptical though. |

You've got some good skills, Jimbob, hopefully you'll be fine. Start looking NOW though, don't wait until you get canned. |

Well, it's an odd situation when severe SEVERE anxiety turns to good fortune. Two months ago I was so overstressed over this revelation (plus the house search, plus the upcoming wedding, etc) that I was having panic attacks. I actually was prescribed something by my doctor, but at that point the attacks had ceased, so I never took the medication. Point being, I was honestly at one of the most stressful points of my life thus far. Cut to several weeks later and I find myself choosing between two job offers: 1. System Administrator 2 within my company. The pros of this offer is that I know many of the people I would work with. And of course it would come wiht a great opportunity to learn and get elbow deep in servers and storage systems. There would be potential training opportunities. 2. Physical-to-Virtual Engineer 2 within my company. I join the team that essentially converts many of our physical servers to virtual servers. It's straight forward and offers a lot of flexibility (ie. no office that I have to show up at). I just have to perform the conversions by the end of day. It works with VMware, which I would receive extensive training in. VMware technicians are pretty sought after folks in the IT industry, so I would be learning a valuable trade indeed. I haven't seen the salary offers yet, and that will certainly play a role...but it's an odd turn of events. Now I have not just a chance, but a choice. |

Woot! Go Gabey! Tough choice though! |

Yeah it's a tough one. I am a creature of habit, so going into a totally new environment is tough for me to stomach. But it may be a better opportunity. We'll see who offers the most money. :) |
