Hello all. I just heard on the office that two of our 3 offices will be closed. I know some here know that I work in the helldesk.... I can tell you that on 1 oktober, I will no longer be a helldesk-kiddo anymore :)

Just wanted to let you know all this :)

My condolences :(

A while ago I had a job in a company where they fired the network admin because some smart manager found out he was unproductive and just a cost factor (yes, the lazy ass didn't sell anything :evil: ). He stated that they haven't had a major system breakdown in two years, so the company had wasted money on him long enough ... :evil: ... I was there when he told that and I was ROTFLMAO ... :D That was when I decided to leave since I lost my trust in the management ... ;)

Dude - That sucks!!! If I ever have a company large enough to need a helldesk person...I'll email you!

I'm right there with you, unfortunately. I still haven't found the job I want! Are you going to take some time off, or are you going to start looking immediately? At they did give you a long notice.

Hehe, I'm glad I finally lose my helldesk-kiddo-reputation.

To be serious, it is pretty bad for some people here at work but for me it isn't. I'm only 20 and really have to do a study. I planned to stop but couldn't yet turn back to a life with less money. Now I have to, and when I will stop with twork in Oktober, they have to give me some more money too. For I work here for 2,5 year, I get 3 months of payment instead of 1 (3000 euros). With that I can easily pay school.... Yes that's right... I plan to go back to school!

Marnix ... I hope the return to school is good for you. The Lord moves us sometimes when we won't move ourselves! ;)

One thing to remember while you are pursing that degree ... "The truly educated never graduate!" ;) :lol:

Aww poor thing. At least you don't sound sad about it. Actually I never though of you as the helldesk boy. Far from it. And not to the worse I might add :) And hey about money. bake your own bread and shop only once a week. Always have cheap beer at home :)

"Don't let schooling interfere with education." :lol:
Well, now you have a chance to do what you "really" wanted to do. :grin:

My conolences as well. So now you are going to do that 2,5 hours school/20 hours of work per week thing?

Ara
(Trying to not to fall apart)

well it's hard to go back to a life without money at all :) I consider a part time study of 2 or 3 days a week.... and 16 or 20 hours work per week :)

Arabwel... no pictures of me with a headset on my head anymore ;)

Bummer man. Hopefully this will free you up to do something that you enjoy even more.
Good luck.

Not to put a damper on yer spirits there pilgrim but...expanding your horizons er,education ...mmm,BEER...is truly tough if you haven't got the cash situation worked out before you start. mmm more beer... :D
I suggest a roommate, preferably one who is rich, and looks devastating in a miniskirt & a pair of pumps.
:hahaerr:
