Enforcer84 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread What year is it? And you'll need to run OS10.4 to run HDv3 (the Java Requirements) so if it doesn't come with that version of the OS prepare to factor that into the cost. It was a used ...er G4 I think? Good call though. I hope upgrading is not too expensive, but I'm willing to go a 100 or so higher to make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanaci Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread I concur! have a good one! I'm working Saturday so I get tomorrow off as well! *snickers* I don't work weekends. Period. Monday thru Friday is my schedule. I'd have nothing to do on Monday if I worked Saturday.

Make sure it has a DVDROM or better or getting that OS won't do you any good (It should have at least a DVDROM, I don't think anything after the last G3 has just a CDR).

teh bunneh Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread The interview went pretty well. Took 2-2.5 hours, I interviewed with 5 different people. The first four went really well -- talked about my experience, ways I would approach a problem, that sort of thing. Got to show off my portfolio. The final interview was with the big boss -- the director for the project. I didn't feel that one went very well. He was very serious, almost entirely emotionless, and I couldn't seem to establish a rapport with him. I think I did OK answering the questions, but there was little empathic connection. Anyway, this was a second interview at this company, so they liked me well enough the first time to call me in again. Still, I'm hoping that the interview I did last week for a different company pays off -- they're much closer to home, and I'm starting to get tired of driving 100+ miles every day.

Mantis Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread My employment agency is arranging a job interview for me with a client next week. I think I'm the only candidate put forward, so I don't think I have any competition. This job might start immediately after my current contract ends. Worse case, there will be a short gap between them, and I could do with the break - excluding public holidays, I have only had 3 days off over Xmas, plus two sick days last month, and I started here a year ago this week! This new job will pay more as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proditor Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread As of this afternoon, it is official. I am a permanent employee of Lockheed-Martin! My "first day" is Monday, even though it will be the beginning of my 7th month on site at the Bureau of Economic Analysis (Under the DOC). After 4 years of 6 month jobs that "Might lead to something", I've done my time and now I can be a happily and permanently employed subcontractor of the US Department of Commerce, through Lockheed-Martin. The 20% raise sure as heck didn't hurt either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't get any good stories though, unless folks here are riveted by statistical economic analysis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
