Ire

Friday September 17, 2004 - 1:47PM EDT

My ire has subsided a bit over my job. Doesn't mean my feelings about the job has changed. I am just a bit more relaxed knowing that I am gone as soon as I find something else. I am hoping to hear back from the recruiter about the job with japanese skills needed. West coast would be nice, no cold weather. Maybe a position in Malibu, yeah that would be nice. San Fran isn't bad either not as warm but not as cold as here. I could just leave now, work on my outside projects for a few months then either go to Japan with the JET program or take time to find a job on the west coast. If I work on outside projects I will build up my experience with different technologies much faster than working at my current job and it might be easier for me to find a position than if I stayed here. This company would look good on a resume but personally I want to learn about more technologies and would find that more personally rewarding. On a side note I have worked out some of the final programming issues with the software I am working on. It is going to be pretty cool. I am hoping to complete it this weekend.

Work is not all bad I do get some things done. Listen to music, read online comics, bone up on the latest technologies and coding techniques and of course keep track of the news. Lately the only work I have been doing is stuff that I come up with myself. Which may be what my boss is letting me do since I am somewhat successful with it. But I am getting to a point where I know what the next things I have to do but there are obstacles to doing it that are not in my control. In between listening to music and reading the comics I come up with solutions to the little problems and keep track of them in case I actually get to apply them to "real work." My guess is that I won't, but that is fine with me. I'll busy myself with other things. Like learning Oracle databases and JSP.
