Had a call from a friend in OZ yesterday (Tues. 7/2). He had seen my blog about the "Mutual seperation" and was concerned. Gave me some insight on how this company might be thinking.
Interesting to say the least. At least he and his family seem well settled in their new country.
Sent out my CV today. Think I might have a go outside of the IT world for a change. Been here too long, and actually find it to be a sick place right now. When you have some time think about what the IT companies do... and decide if you think any of it makes sense.
I'll eplain my train of thoughts at some other time.
Anyway, I have a technical background, having qualified as a Fitter and Turner many years ago. Then also got into Mechanical design draughting (probably the best job I ever had). From there I moved on to sales, mining / conveying / filtration. Then worked for myself for 5-6 years in sales. Most money made here. Middle man. No manufacturing, just the midle man between maker and user. Damn fine place to be. Had to shut that down cause of the looming "Black Tidal Wave" which was expected in '94 with the so called first democratic elctions held here.
Anyway, the company I sent my CV to does materials handling. I'm thinking with my mechanical / design / sales / IT backgroung maybe I can offer a bit more than the next guy. And I wouldn't have to work in a damn suit anymore!!!
Will keep u posted on events as they occur.
For now, must run. The Princess bemoans the fact that I am typing, and not chatting with her.
Later all.... Salagatle
