Got to work today and was informed that the one person in Support (and one of only 5 left in the NOC) who has been with LT longer than me, has turned in his two week notice.

We have enough trouble hiring people into Support positions, let alone keeping them. I know of at least two other senior Support persons who have confided in me that if they don’t get a certain amount on their raises, due at the end of this month, that they will walk. I’m fairly certain they won’t get it, as I am not making what they want, and I’m the highest paid person in the dept at our level. (and higher than some people at a higher level).

I’m about ready to walk if I don’t get my promotion to Sys Admin I was promised almost 5 months ago.

Nuff said.

Oh, by the way, anyone got an opening for a *nix geek who doesn’t write code in the D/FW area?
I could point you to my resume, but I figure people can raise hands first.

OK, so this is another one of those “sorry I haven’t been posting lately” posts I do every few weeks, along with “sorry I haven’t been commenting lately” (which is probably the bigger issue).

Surprisingly life can get pretty busy, when there’s really nothing worth posting about.

Well, except my pending move. Hopefully I’ll get the lease signed in the next day or two, and can start moving some of the smaller stuff this weekend.

So the coworker who sits right next to me (smoker from previous post) turns to me and asks “So, are you going to quit with me?”

Wow, she’s been here 2 whole weeks and already hit the frustration point.

She works in Data Entry, where she has to suffer through all the various data bases and other data systems that they have to update. Of course none of these systems talk to eachother so they have to do tons of cut and paste to get data from one system into another. Which of course means lots of points for human error to mess everything up.

Glad I don’t have to do their job.

Faugh!

The assault on the nostrils when they come back from a smoke break!

Kill me. Kill me now.
