Holiday

[caffeine]

I am unemployed now, by choice, for 6 whole weekdays. No longer at the Bullseye. After Thanksgiving I will start back up with my former employer doing to the consulting thing. I will focus on Project Management and Subject Matter Expertise in the Enterprise Management technology and IT Governance (ITIL) space. I am looking forward to get back into consulting.

I had very good experience at the Bullseye and would recommend it to people. I made many good friends there. I was fortunate that I was a Technical Architect and then promoted to Sr. Technical Architect and was involved in many highly-visible projects throughout my time there. I was able able to drive my vision on some aspects of Capacity Management and Performance Management. I was also able to provide input on Configuration, Change, and Incident Management. And I was responsible for all of my team's web presence. And I got to learn SAS and DataStage. Pretty cool.

You slacker!

Ah, work changes. Always make me nervous. But when planned are always better! Enjoy the time off.

I don't think we allow good-for-nothing lazy bums to visit us. You might never leave.

Drat! You have seen through my clever plan.

It was a good one while it lasted.

That's MISTER Dumbass to you.

So when do they call you Lord Technical Architect on a stick?

Funny you should say that, the next level is Lead Technical Architect (although sadly, no stick). But I like your idea or Lord Technical Architect. I want that to be my title on my next business card.

Wait...is this a change to a job I can actually understand?! The traveling and teaching thing you used to do made sense. Your job at Target was like the drone who slipped through the cracks. You were always Tom Smykowski from Office Space to me. I think I'll miss misunderstanding you. : )

"Well-well look. I already told you: I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don't have to. I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?"

Cool! I'm glad you're going back on your terms. Please tell me you made them work for it. :) If there's anyone left who even remembers me, say hi from me.
