January 25 New JobWhat would you say to to the same hours, but more pay?
A good friend and neighbor dropped an offer in my lap last November. So not wanting to turn down a big raise and a challenging position I accepted. I am now working for Dynamics Research Corporation on a contract with the Department of Homeland Security, Citizenship and Immigration Services. My official title is Senior Staff IT Analyst.
But wait! There's more!
Two and a half weeks into the job my new boss gets an offer he can't refuse! So who gets to take his old job? It's offered to me ... and I took a second raise and promotion (effective February 1).
Call now! Operators are Standing By!
I will continue with this blog ... for several reasons: 1) my job still involves teaching, albeit a lot less; 2) I intend to continue on as retain my MCT certification; and 3) I seem to like sharing what I learn!
August 10 Credit Card OffersDo you get tired of endless credit card offers in the mail? You might try checking out https://www.OptOutPreScreen.com. This site is a joint venture between the credit reporting agencies. The Fair Credit Reporting Act allows these reporting companies to send out info on you to banks, insurance companies, etc. but you can ask them not to forward the information for requests not initiated by you. In other words, stop some of the junk mail.
August 15 I Can Stop Anytime I WantThanks to Karla Carter for pointing out what may be the biggest time-saver of the year for me ...
July 05 Tired of Rush Hour Traffic?A friend from college sent me this link about those silly Californians! Prankster Changes Lights July 04 Blogging on Independence Day!Hello! And welcome to my blog!
I thought Independence Day would be a great day to launch my blog. So what’s it all about? It’s about MCTs learning from each other. It’s about teaching computer science. It’s about questions students ask that are often off the beaten track. It’s about things that may be cool, in and of themselves. It’s also about SQL Server (in its many flavors) and Visual Studio (and stuff that works with either of them). On occasion I will also link to someone else’s site to point out the great things they have come up with.
Why do a blog? Why does anyone do a blog! To spread the word! And, to be perfectly honest, to keep the answers to all these odd questions my students ask in one place. (Its been rough trying to keep track of all the scraps of paper, lunch napkins, and little .txt files in some kind of order!)
I hope to add to this blog once or twice a week (once I settle into it). I’ve got about a dozen things to start with, so daily, until mid July, expect to see something new. (I’ll even have an item or two about the title of the blog.)
Thanks for reading. And once again … welcome! |
