Month: November 2004

I’m at a crossroads, and I’m starting to second-guess my decisions. Is leaving Pittsburgh the right thing to do? Yes. I’m certain of that. Staying in Pittsburgh simply isn’t an option. Is Providence the right place for me to go? I believe so. But I want to believe that, too. Am I being blinded by… Continue reading Crossroads

I just got off the phone with Mark Neville from the Cypress Group in Boston. His client, a property management company in downtown Boston, is looking for someone to do their Notes to Exchange migration. They have some Exchange people already, but they need someone with really strong Lotus Notes skills already. Four words: I… Continue reading Four Words

I talked to three different recruiters today. First, Doreen Daly from Frontier called me this morning. She wanted a few tweaks on my resume for a project management position. Then I called both Adam Stillman from Eliassen Group who has something good working and Kerriann Kreuz from Hollister, who also has something good. Those two… Continue reading Contact

I got a call this morning from Doreen Daly at Frontier Systems Consulting this morning. She has a few opportunities that might be good for me.

He sounded… Continue reading Crystal Reports

I got an email for a high end Crystal Reports development position outside of Boston. It sounds really interesting. I’ve always wanted to get my hands dirty with data warehousing. I’ve also sent my resume for a few things I found on dice.com today. I’m still encouraged.

I just spoke to Cindy at CSE again. I wanted to ask about two different positions I found on dice.com. One is called Windows Application Support Admin and the other is Jr. Exchange Admin. It turns out that both positions are for the the same client and the same manager. She told me that she… Continue reading CSE

I just got a call from Rob at Motis. Shaw’s cancelled the phone screening this morning. It looks like they made an offer to someone else. This is really disappointing because I had such a good feeling about it. I guess I’m not going to Providence this weekend.

I’ve been tearing stuff out of closets, tearing down furniture/shelves and stuff that can be assembled/disassembled, and packing up boxes. Where did I get so much stuff?

I have a stack of boxes in the hallway ready to carry down to the garage. I’ve also started tearing down the some of the stuff in my apartment that can be packed up now or thrown away. I have a lot of stuff that just isn’t moving with me this time.
