college 84

around 3 weeks ago, when i got told verbally that i was going to be given a new contract, one of the guys in the storage team got told the same. everyone thought he was really good at what he did and that he knew his shit. a couple of days ago i bumped into him on the train and we got talking and i congratulated him on getting his new contract. he replied that he had only had 3 weeks left on his current contract and that he still hadnt got a contract to sign and that he was becoming less and less confident as time went by that he was going to be renewed.
..........yesterday morning he got told he was not being renewed after all. in the last 3 weeks he turned down a couple of potential roles on the word that he had been given about being renewed. basically, they fucked him. 


my contract expires on wednesday. i have not heard anything since they verbally told me i was to be renewed. if they were planning on renewing they should have done it by now. am pretty certain there wont be a renewal now, despite what they told me, especially after what they did to the guy in storage who had spent a couple of years working for them. some other guy in another dept also got let go, this morning, and he had been there nearly 3 years. 


no bother. am studying for my vcp5 and i had booked the exam in just over 3 weeks, under the assumption that i would be free from work for 2 weeks and would have time to revise. am also going to cali the day after my exam, and i also have an interview this thursday. no news from that hedge fund i saw a couple of weeks back but i have seen the job still being advertised. fellas, you aint going to find someone who is an expert on Hyper-V and compellent SANs and also does SQL and windows 2008 and Linux. you can advertise it all you like. it just aint going to happen. you are making yourselves look silly now. 


today i have mostly been listening to timo maas feat brian molko - college 84. wicked song.
