| 00:00.31 | kergoth | thats true |
| 00:01.22 | kergoth | sbc really needs to hire more field techs |
| 00:01.50 | file | kergoth: they're going to charge you for service you couldn't use, right? |
| 00:02.15 | kergoth | thats a good question, i'd better not be charged for this month's internet connectivity |
| 00:02.17 | ChipX86 | I love when they do that. |
| 00:02.18 | gonkulator | ChipX86: congrats :) |
| 00:02.21 | ChipX86 | gonkulator: :( |
| 00:02.35 | gonkulator | they want you to visit |
| 00:02.38 | gonkulator | this is a good thing, yes? |
| 00:02.42 | ChipX86 | I don't know. |
| 00:02.48 | ChipX86 | if I get the job, I can basically say goodbye to gaim and galago |
| 00:02.51 | file | gah got two channels running the same movie... |
| 00:02.58 | gonkulator | oh |
| 00:03.01 | ChipX86 | and school and hanging out with friends |
| 00:03.04 | ChipX86 | I don't know that it's worth it |
| 00:03.15 | gonkulator | you will still have IRC |
| 00:03.17 | ChipX86 | sure, it's good money, but then I'd be living in the bay area, so a lot of that money is gone to a tiny apartment |
| 00:03.31 | gonkulator | living alone |
| 00:03.41 | kergoth | you'll have money, and more importantly, you'll have more fodder for your resume, which will help move you into the next even better position |
| 00:03.42 | gonkulator | kergoth can tell you that it kinda sucks to live alone |
| 00:03.55 | file | well you've still got IRC |
| 00:03.57 | gonkulator | but those are the good points :) |
| 00:04.03 | gonkulator | file: I already said that :) |
| 00:04.20 | kergoth | 19:00 < treke> kergoth: US Cable companies are staffed by people who can't get jobs with the phone companies. |
| 00:04.23 | kergoth | 19:01 < treke> they put the ass in support. |
| 00:04.26 | kergoth | heh |
| 00:05.24 | file | gonkulator: ...yes, yes you did |
| 00:05.54 | gonkulator | ChipX86: also, IIRC, you hate school |
| 00:07.05 | ChipX86 | huh. Who called me on tracphone... |
| 00:07.17 | ChipX86 | I do, but it's also important |
| 00:07.33 | gonkulator | bah |
| 00:07.37 | gonkulator | not in tech |
| 00:07.39 | gonkulator | look at kergoth |
| 00:07.53 | gonkulator | you have teh skills |
| 00:08.25 | gonkulator | industry knows it does them no good to wait until you have taken Chicano Studies |
| 00:09.45 | kergoth | ChipX86: your open source developed skills + industry contacts can go far |
| 00:09.53 | kergoth | go to school, just part time |
| 00:09.59 | ChipX86 | I won't have time, they said |
| 00:10.16 | kergoth | you're working over 40 hours a week? |
| 00:10.18 | ChipX86 | yes |
| 00:10.25 | kergoth | last i checked, mandatory overtime violates labor laws |
| 00:10.32 | kergoth | course maybe cali's different |
| 00:11.03 | ChipX86 | they said if I work with them, don't expect to have much in the way of free time, certainly not enough to work on outside projects or part-time school |
| 00:11.24 | ChipX86 | unless I somehow become superhuman and don't ever have to sleep again |
| 00:12.29 | kergoth | jeeze |
| 00:12.43 | kergoth | sjhill told me the same thing about positions at timesys, when he was going to get me an interview there |
| 00:13.05 | file | kergoth: how is he doing these days? he seems a little ... loopy sometimes lol |
| 00:13.33 | kergoth | file: havent heard much lately.. since he cant irc from work due to security clearances and stuff, he isnt around much anymore |
| 00:13.36 | kergoth | which sucks |
| 00:15.41 | ChipX86 | :( |
