Say something the rest of us might not know about you

I tend to disappear from Twitter for long periods of time.

I'm getting excited about where I'll be stationed. I'm hoping to get sent to Okinawa or Monterey.

I consider this very insightful and very valueable information since newcommers into this field lack any input from people who are already in it.

I've found that IT jobs are kind of tricky to get, and that those who have a position tend to dig in. It's a steady gig, if you can get it.

I currently have no idea what it takes to take on such jobs or even qualify, since all I know is what is here an there imo... and since the IT field is ever-growing, I don't know what standards are being set for each positon/company...  My self-confidence is there but I always feel like there's "just one more thing" that I need to take on to be able to simply "qualify"....

That's true in any tech. The trick is to find a company with a certain approach: one that matches yours. A .net shop won't care that you're not up to date on Scala; they just want a .net person.

I'm decently sure I can manage servers on my own- creating a website from pure code is easy- creating a flash application is like doodling to me- thers really alot I can do, but can never really see past my own insecurities when it comes down to "do you have what it takes?".... I guess thats why I always drive myself towards always pushing myself further beyond the current standard/limit...

A drive to always grow is a good thing and will set you apart. You'd be surprised how many people in the IT field learn one set of skills and then stop.

My advice: learn how to interview, learn how to learn things quickly, learn how to blend into a culture, and learn that you're not an impostor.

I take it you work for Pandora? I met someone in front of Tanq atcon who said they work for Pandora. Coincidence? :P

I learn quickly- at least from what I've been told!  I'm not sure what you mean by "imposter" though... I think I'm well-cultured :P

I am contemplating my next move in life... now that I've made the biggest decision as of yet.

[PinkHairSasuke]

I think I'm going to have to train someone at work today.

[limDsage]

^ New hire, eh?

[Lucifargundam]

I wrote poetry for a long time but hated doing so. I hid it from my ex because of reasons and now that I post it- there's no reason to share it anymore. I don't know why Im sharing it...

[PinkHairSasuke]

I get asked by too many of my friends to do a co-op cosplay with them.

--------------------------

^ New hire, eh?

Yep. Luckily, he didn't work that day so I didn't have to train him. Training can be boring since I have to stand around and pretty much watch them.

I like horror movies and gore, which is the opposite of my boyfriend.

Well, at least you're getting paid by standing around watching at them. :p

I also enjoy horror movies and gore, and whenever I see something really really graphic, the song, "Mein Teil" by Rammstein plays in my mind. rofl

I'm more of a cabernet... and i would never drink cold wine... it dilludes the aroma and dulls the taste.

Haven't seen this one, I'll give it a shot.

I have an autograph and picture with Amanda Young from the Saw series.

[Lucifargundam]

I actually drink my tea from fine china... not made in china.

[limDsage]

I drink coffee more than I drink tea and water...

[Lucifargundam]

i drink nos more often than i should...

[Naiagu]

There is a tiny mountain of figures in my room @_@ it almost reaches the ceiling.

[Lucifargundam]

I'm quite popular for some reason... though no-one really knows me. How does that work? I dont care- I'm too busy having fun!
