Its been a while ...

Jesus Yarped! It has been a while since this thing was updated.

A lot has transpired since the last posting. Managed to land a permanent job with a small but busy ICT. Although I applied for a Level 1 Engineer position they ended up interviewing me for a role of Service Delivery Coordinator of which I got. Lot different from L1 Engineer and now, after a couple of months, I can say its a good role and easy once m33r tactics and diplomacy were implemented. The customers also are 10,000 times better than Telco or ISP customers - they don't whinge and whine and get shitty. There are a lot of similarities though. Where upon under TelstaClear everyone used to moan and groan about Telecom, we now moan and groan at players like IBM and HP. Mainly because they take their time resolving our customers issues that are under warranty. The pay here isn't that great BUT its better than looking for a job without having anything and that was the boat I was in before landing this role. I can now browse for better jobs now and take time without stressing out having nothing.

Life at Grafton dot net is still good and the muntedness still prevails. Of particular note in a session was when putty tat, commander and stalker arrived for a few cold ones and Rasta-flattie and his mate turned up. Flatties mate had these 'sparkly red shoes' on and commander and co promptly set about transforming him into 'Dorothy' from the wizard of Oz - cheeky buggers. The phrase '3 clicks and I'm gone' seemed to be Darryl's new description.

Changes galore at the Farmers lead Telco too. My old Hoff-Net team have relocated back to Takapuna so no more fricken Penrose for them .. excellent. Bry has left the CH Circus and now works for the opposition. The midget also clicked his heels and said 'up you' and he left to work for a company that deals with 'printers'. Commander also abandoned the USS Circus and now works with Mantis down on the IS Helpdesk.

The laugh of late would have to be the story about one of commanders mates. For all intentions, this mate shall remain nameless. The night of commanders (and midgets) send off from CH saw muntification to the highest degree apparently. So much was muntedness that this mate of commanders went home and promptly shagged his dad's girlfriends daughter. Hrmmmm ....

Over on the right hand side of this page under 'Links' I have added a link to my mates Blog/Website. He is currently in London and now and again updates it with funny stuff.
