I’ll finally be going on permanent in this job in late Feb it looks like. one of the higher-ups came by earlier this week to do an audit on our ESD procedures and to do a formal interview with me. the guy is a car nut. the first thing he said when he got here wasn’t “hi” or “hello”… it was “CRX Si, huh? nice.” I figure’d we’d hit it off. and we did. we went out to a company lunch and it was all car talk. Bob just sat there in silence. she didn’t have a chance to say anything.

anyways, my only concern was pay rate. I can’t live off this crappy temp pay forever so I had to make sure that when I went on perm I’d be making a good chunk more. I offered up what I thought was reasonable and he agreed to it. it’s still not as much as I was making being a professional slacker (IT admin) at my last job, but it’s science. so I don’t mind the lesser pay since I’m at least doing what I went to school for 4 years to learn… Instead of riding the knowledge I acquired getting wing commander and hexen to work on my 486 box back in the day.

I’m actually doing something significant here, which is why I like science in the first place. we scan electronic parts for internal defects and whatnot. but the parts we get aren’t computer memory and whatnot. we get a lot of military and aerospace stuff since they need to be able to see if their parts will last in space or in a musty bunker for decades. we get all kinds of crazy stuff in here. It’s cool to feel like I’m part of a neccecary process or something. I hated working a “trained monkey” position at Pfizer, knowing that my job wasn’t significant in any way. it just made all my efforts seem futile. here, we’re making sure that space shuttle components won;t fail.
