It just seems like I was ranting and raving about my promotion at my last job (oh wait it was my last post). Well this is the perfect segue (I love this word but it looks stupid as hell) into my newest announcement, which for many of you is not news at all. Regardless, I got a new job working for the Oklahoma Conservation Commission as their Information Systems Network Management Specialist. Nice title huh? A friend of mine gave me a heads up on the position, and even though I was under qualified I went ahead and applied. Four weeks later I'm sitting at a desk in a cubicle with my name on it, with a beast of a Dell accompanied with two 21inch monitors! The new job is great, I've got a lot to learn but mostly picking things up as they come along. I have a few books I'm reading so I can get familiar with the unfamiliar here at the new job. Basically I'm responsible for maintaining the network around our office, while being able to help the users around the office with small problems as they come up. So far any problem users here have I've been able to fix, e-mail issues, error messages, and random stupid mistakes. The network side of things is basically making sure that the network is running correctly, being able to fix something if it goes down, or doing things to make sure it wont shut down, or have problems. These things are a little more serious and since I'm learning them along the way it makes it a bit more scary. So far (knock on wood), no problems have occurred. I hope it stays this way because my boss will be gone all week, which leaves me to just sitting here writing on my blog, reading my Windows Server 2003 book, and surfing the internet while I wait for people to have computer problems.
It was too bad leaving Computer Nerdz, it was really great there. It was easy, fun, and I miss the people a lot. I was only there for a short time ( 6 months) and I wish I had started earlier. It's great to know if things don't work out here (I think they will work out just fine) that I always have a place to fall back on. I did receive employee of the month right before I left (heh), which is awesome because my name will be immortalized in the OKC north store.
Other than my new job, I don't have a lot to report. Amber graduated OU this week, and we should all golf clap for her. There is a party in her honor at my apartment this Friday (the 16th). My brothers are also graduating from High School which is crazy to think about. So golf clap for them too.
I'm running out of things to say, which is too bad because I'm pretty bored at work. Time to read some more of my computer books :(
