Grap · 07-03-2006, 09:15 AM

Looks like most people are off today.....le sigh.....

BhamRoadrunner · 07-03-2006, 09:18 AM

Had questions I wanted to ask to, but won't bother since there's not a good enough population here today to make the answers anything but smart ass.
Damned IT folks and their holidays.....

Meh. My whole department (IT, natch) is here today, but nobody else seems to be.

So what part of IT should I major in, or specifically focus my studies on?

I was thinking CCNA and Linux, but I dunno, and I damned sure don't want to do programming.

Depends on what you like to do. You have to sort of find your niche. Your degree will be less important than you think. Programming is not just sitting down cranking out code either. There is the whole software development process, not just hacking code.
What is your current technical background? Do you like math?

I work in telecom, pushing paper and phone numbers all day. I've gotten to go down to our switching office from time to time and out in the field to our cell towers. I like tinkering with things with my hands, not just on a computer screen. I can figure out just about anything given enough time and a quiet room to work in

I'm only getting an associates for right now. The college I'm going to is a technical college (not like Herzing or VC Tech, but a for real college) and they offer CCNA, MCSE, Oracle and CNA certifications. I think they offer Comptia's A+ and Internet + or Network + something. I'd have to look again.

Yup. BTW, unless you enjoy being on call 24x7 don't go for sys admin. If you do programming try to either find a job where you don't code anything important or work for a big company. Otherwise expect to be on call or working late hours potentially.

Currently I'm doing web design which is nice because I don't have to worry about long hours. I'll eventually roll back into coding, but for right now they need my design skills more than my coding skills. That and I don't know JSP. Yet.

there are 3 people in my office. I think I'm gonna practice walking on my hands. Yes, it is that slow

Basically same here, 'cept I'm the new guy so no vacation yet. We do school software, so summer is actually our busy time.

Good lord. I hope your hand strength is up, because I forsee lots of masturbation in your future today.

cwb124 · 07-03-2006, 09:25 AM

Gonna suck? It already DOES suck, bigtime.

I guess I'll come up with some MS vs. *nix argument to keep me and AOD busy today.

I ain't got jack to do. Does it make sense for a company to be open when ALL of its customers are closed today? Stupid jackoffs in charge here.

When we get bored with that, then we can move on to a ccoking on charcoal vs. gas while lighting off fireworks debate.

it's a ghost town 'round here, which is funny for an office building that holds 20somethousand workers.

bhamwrxman · 07-03-2006, 09:28 AM

Yep. My boss wanted me to burn one of my vacation days today since the building would be empty. It's my vacation... I'll use it as I see fit. Like staying in bed all day with some cheap hooker.
