[QUOTE="ncrtscisme, post: 136411, member: 4721"] Rock on, TSCer! I'm glad things are looking good for you and I miss working with ya! Just thought my new icon would spice things up a little bit here. Packageguylv, give Gino a big WAAASSSUUUPPP from me too!!! And I can say I totally agree with that post from "Craiger or Keystones"...I'd say I'm a halfway-decent tech, done a lot of stuff at home such as building PCs and messing with software and a little dabbling with Suse Linux recently...but it's been over 6 months now and I'm still unemployed. Of course, I spent the first 3 months busy with moving out-of-state and doing some fun stuff in the beautiful area that I now reside, but I've been on a few interviews so far and am realizing that I really DON'T have the kind of skills company's are really looking for. Just when I think the interview goes well, I either find out that they went with someone with more server/administrative skills or I just don't hear back from them at all. Yeah, I could probably easily land a job making 1/2 the money UPS paid me, but I don't live at home and need to make enough to get by! Companies nowadays seem to want a technician who can hit the ground running with expert knowledge and willing to take $12 an hour. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, though, so it's not the end of the world (YET!). [/QUOTE]
