Day: September 20, 2004

Damn, I figured this would happen.

Posted on September 20, 2004 By admin 2 Comments on Damn, I figured this would happen.

Went to see my old boss at Ste-Justine to talk about their IT needs and the possible collaboration they want to do with IBM. The project is really interesting, and I have an idea the job is mine for the taking if I want it. The only thing is that I need to take a pay cut if I want it. As in 10% of what I'm making now. I'm not sure I can afford that, with the lifestyle I've grown used to and the long-term financial plans I've made. He says that there's a possibility that the salary might be readjusted later on, but the first year would be tight.

I told him I'd give him an answer by the end of the week. I think my mind is already kind of made up, but it sucks that I have to say no and limit my options to the McGill thing only.

Meh.

Quote of the day

Sam Vimes could parallel process. Most husbands can. They learn to follow their own line of thought while at the same time listening to what their wives say. And the listening is important, because at any time they could be challenged and must be ready to quote the last sentence in full. A vital additional skill is being able to scan the dialogue for telltale phrases such as "and they can deliver it tomorrow" or "so I've invited them for dinner?" or "they can do it in blue, really quite cheaply."
--(Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant)
