So... 3 years of school would = diploma in computer engineering and a bachelor of technology... rather than taking 4 years to get a bachelors.
Nicelly done... thinking about changing employer or is it to advance in the fed?

I have 2 more exams planned for staurday at Rev. Can. I'm not even sure if i would take the job if i get it. I've invested alot of time and effort at my current job. Suck that management here keep sucking donkey anus though.

In at work. Really wish I had called in, I need to do a lot of work around the house. Clean out the gutters, fix some siding, reseal the driveway and sow the yard where the dog has destroyed all the grass. Ahhh, so much to do and so little time.

I know a chick that moved to Vegas to finish 2 years of Chef training, she ended up broke as a joke and kicked out of school because of no self control. That place is a money trap, that is what it is built for.

As long as you understand and have the self discipline to keep your head on Vegas can be a jackpot for work. You slip once though and that town will fuck you up and show no mercy.

I went back to work at Gladstone's in Malibu, which SBE took over. I thought I could live that life again, but had to bounce. I was spending too much time thinking about it, and and the people working there. After 10 years of being out of that scene, then coming back, I set a new standard in that place. Old school brought back to show new school how to stay busy and sell at the same time. The money was insane. $500 in two days of hard work wasn't uncommon, but the chance of slippin' up and getting caught-up-in-the scene was rearing its ugly head. I had to bounce. Money got tight after that, but I was proud of myself for knowing myself better than that. o:

Rock bottom doesn't have to be ugly, it's just when you decide to stop digging. :chuckles:

I hate Mondays and today showed me why. I'm just glad the work day is about to be over. It's one of those days that I want to smash some fucking heads in.

Woke up about 30 minutes ago. The oven is preheating so I can bake some spicy brown mustard chicken and also prepare parmesan penne pasta and steamed broccoli before work tonight.

3 more work nights and my 3-day weekend begins! :yay:

Just for advancement up the Fed ladder. I'd take the job if I were you, once you are in you can go anywhere. 100 times more internal job postings than external. And if you want to move anywhere, they will find you a job. Definetlly worth it if you are not 100% sold on your current job.
