Oh, you'd be great at it biggrin.gifthumb.gif


Hell, we'd have you up into one of the better (paying) groups quickly enough, I'd imagine. You'd have to live in Los Angeles, though tongue.gif

Welcome back!! Where are you working/what are you doing?


I'm still cute tongue.gif, Bonoman is still a horndog, if a mostly absent one (hates the slow forum), Jazz Ad is still brilliant (we think) and lug goes without saying, do not mention his name in the Thread Killer, thank you.


What's up wid you??



P.S. Yeah, there was an admin snafu back at the MF IT team. They restored most post counts, but finding a Google cache of yours will be hard since you've been gone so l ong. frown.gif

 


I'm now in sunny southern CA. You know when you drive down I-5 from LA to SD? You know those two boob-shaped buildings off to the right? Yeah, I work there.


frown.gif No frivolous postings at work.

You work for the Evil Insurance Industry Empire though, don't you? frown.gif

I like Los Angeles. Parts of it, anyway (where my relatives are). Not sure I want to deal with all the traffic and housing expense, though.

What??!? No more yellow larches? frown.gif


I've never been to SD, but I'm always happy to go where boobs are. biggrin.gif


What sort of firm or university builds and staffs boob-shaped buildings, anyway?

No, I work for the Not As Evil Banking Industry Empire. We get bank holidays off thumb.gif


L.A. has its good places and its bad places like most any other city. They've finally gotten better with public transportation but it still needs a lot more work. As for driving, yeah, it sucks. The main thing is to learn which freeways just blow for commuting. 405 South in the morning? That's suicidal. North is great. 10 & 60 West are the same story. East are both fantastic. Yeah, we've got gobs of freeways wink.gif

Bank holidays? That means you work what, 8 hours a week, 16 on heavy weeks? biggrin.giftongue.gif



Getting around from my uncle's place meant using the Ventura freeway and then whatever it is that goes down to Westwood and Universal Studios. wink.gif


Wasn't bad the weekday I did it, but I can't say I'd be ecstatic to drive it every day...

That sounds about right. You have to be there for the regular 40'ish hours, though rolleyes.gif


For me, there were days where I pulled 70+ hours and worked just about every damn bit of them mad.gif I was averaging a bit over 60 hours a week for July. That's my group, though. In the Helpdesk and Operations, they really don't pull any OT. They just rotate shifts.


The Ventura freeway isn't one of the worst but it isn't ideal, either. I'm up in the Northwest corner of the San Fernando Valley so I know "the valley" pretty well wink.gif

Oy. Are you one of those long-hour network specialist guys? God help you...


*rethinks specializing in networks*



Please tell me you're not in the corner of the valley where the fires tend to hit? frown.gif


P.S. I meant bank regular hours as 8-16 / week, not just holidays. tongue.gif
