Members Chaos5522 Posted October 17, 2009 Members Share Posted October 17, 2009 I haven't been on the boards much for the last week or so, but for a very good reason. I have to thank you guys for the mojo sent my way. I am now back as one of the regularly employed. And even better...It's a job doing what I absolutely love to do. I started Monday, working for the tech support department at Citigroup. Yeah I'm starting out on the bottom rung of the ladder, but that's where I have fun. A week into the job and the rest of the department knows I'm the kind of guy they can hand a complicated task, with a set of instructions, and get it done. On day one I helped clean and reorganize the office to get the stacks and racks of computers set into a neat, easily identifiable system. Computers that had been sitting there for weeks, got thrown on the test bench, diagnosed and racked accordingly. The department has been so happy with my work so far, they haven't even bothered mentioning all the times I've nodded off while tests are running cause I'm still not quite used to having to be up at 5:30 to catch a bus, a train, and another bus to get out the the outer ring suburb where the office is located. 40 hours a week...$13 an hour to do a job I absolutely love....I'm already looking at buying a used car with my first paycheck so I won't have to take the bus anymore. Thanks a lot for the mojo guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
