Well all, hold on, this is going to be one hell of a blog entry.

Ive been hinting at some major things happening with me and my employment status. Ill give you a rundown of it now, since its all out in the open now, and i want to let all of you who care, know about whats going on with me.

Currently im in charge of all of the residential computer labs. Ive been in this position for 2 years, but have worked for RCC for 4 now. Ive seen alot of changes, and ive implimented most of them. ive helped do alot there, and lately, i just dont have the drive anymore. Plus some personal conflict with some management things, how money is spent, treatment of employees, etc...i just dont feel it is the right place for me anymore. Ive been looking around, and today something incredible happened.

As most of you know, i also work at ITS on campus in the technology support center. I was asked today to take a sort of a promotion to assist in the evening running of the TSC. Chad has been looking for a stable way to do this, and he thinks with my experience and my background, that i would be the guy to do it. He is also trying to help me as much as he can to find a full time position within ITS. Hes really looking to help me, and i cant even begin to tell you how appreciative of him i am with this. So starting May 19th, i will not be working for RCC anymore, and will switch to being a full time ITS employee.

But wait, theres more. Ive also been asked to interview for a system specialist position at the Center for Teaching and Learning Technology(CTLT). This is a very Macintosh intensive job that entails server administration for OS X servers, and heading up their windows XP and OS X migration project. It doesnt seem too difficult, so im going to do the interview on friday. Ill hear what the position is, if i like it, ill do it, if not, i have PLENTY of work to do for ITS. Only problem is, i dont know if i can work full time in the fall at ITS, which i need to pay bills and everything. Well, well see.

Worked from 8-3 today. Let me tell you, if this is a snapshot of what this summer is going to be like, i think ill have a great time with all these clowns. Its so nice to see Carly back after her semester in Italy. We are such a bunch of goofballs. Its gonna be an awesome time at the TSC this summer. Just you wait.

Took Kollas 453 final after work. meh. Didnt go well...for anyone in the class. I told dr. kolla all i wanted was to not have to retake the class, and he told me i wouldnt have to. So whatever i get, i guess ill clear the class. Also, Dr. Border emailed me and told me i got 2 A's and a B in his 3 classes this semester. So thats awesome news. :-)

Im damn tired now. Everything is over, and now i just have to work. 8-3 at TSC tomorrow and 3-5 @ RCC. Gotta do transitional things to get all of this stuff out of my hands and into mark and nathans. Going to be wierd to not have to deal with it either.

Well...im going to write my official resignation letter for RCC now then go to bed. Have a good night all, feel free to IM me and ask me more on why im leaving RCC if you wonder.

Peace.
