The Hobbit Hole VI - And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...
Posted on 01/31/2004 9:52:08 AM PST by ecurbh
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

All I know is that if I am ever in a coma, I certainly hope I don't dream of dank hallways and knuckled aardvarks.

LOL! I actually miss my old b&w. Often was a lot clearer than the color TV. Better shows then, too :)

My parents have been to Fort Collins, the college town, and they say that literally if we did not have so many connections here, we'd be living there.

All I know is that if I am ever in a coma, I certainly hope I don't dream of dank hallways and knuckled aardvarks.That scene was freaky to me because I actually have recurring dreams about weird animals, which has gotten more intense since I moved to the country. My most frequent dream is sharks. A few weeks ago I dreamed the pond out back was filled with prehistoric hippos, crocodiles, and creepy reptillian things. I'm sure this movie isn't going to help my dreams any :)

I just about died laughing when I saw the aardvark through the window!
Did I call it or did I call it?!!

Thanks for the link; that's really interesting. That King/Depp collaboration it mentions sounds like it should be good, too.
To: JenB
One little piece of advice... for whatever it is worth... and it is free advice, and you get what you pay for... but:
Advanced degrees in IT are not valued very highly without experience behind them. Years in the trenches count. Nobody, but *nobody* will let you jump into a senior level position with just a degree. Even certifications are taken with a grain of salt.
To wit: Nobody in my department has a computer science degree, including me. Of my two senior managers, both of which are top-shelf IT talent, one has a masters in English (from Cornell, of all places), and the other has no college degree at all, but had many years in the Navy.
The rest of the staff are equally displaced from their studies... My best stars have BA's in totally unrelated fields from Greek Classics to Psych to English Lit.
I don't know what specialty you might have in mind, whether it is development or some other angle of IT, but you will likely find yourself working for someone that started coding a *long* time ago, may have no advanced degree at all, and is interested solely in the elegance of your code and not the sheepskin on the wall.
Anyway... my .02, after taxes.
To: RosieCotton
Certainly not!! ;-)Spoilsport. I wanna write a check with lots of zeroes in it. My bank account would, of course, laugh heartily.
