January 29, 2012 Good evening all. This is going to be a short update. The Webmaster hasn't heard back from the phone screen, so he's assumed it was yet another "Thanks but no thanks" deal. Mrs. Webmaster hasn't called this week, but considering her mom's condition, this isn't surprising. And now, it's time for the taxes to be done. :P January 22, 2012Greetings angry people. It's been a quite week with regards to rants coming in. No idea why. The Webmaster has been posting on the Blog quite a bit this week. Most of it was political, but some was amusing. We even had a world famous Military/Scifi author post in our comments section. (Thank you Tom Kratman) On the job search front, the Webmaster had another phone screen. This was last Thursday so he isn't expecting to hear back until at least the middle of this week. Of course, the Webmaster doesn't expect to hear back at all. :( Mrs. Webmaster called from China to say she was fine and to wish a happy birthday to her husband. Unfortunately, she is still suffering a bit of jetlag and called a day early. (Well it was the correct day in China!) Mrs. Webmaster's mother is really bad. Mrs. Webmaster will be spending the next 4 months there since this will probably be the last chance for her to be with her mother. The Webmaster's refinancing of the Primary Dwelling is all but stopped. The closing was supposed to be two weeks ago, but thanks to Chase, the paperwork was all screwed up. The Webmaster finally did something he has never had to do before. He asked to speak with a supervisor. It looks like the issue has been taken care of and we all hope this gets done soon. The last thing the Webmaster wants to do is call in a lawyer. Oh, as of this posting, the New England Patriots beat Baltimore!! HAH! Until next time.... Stay Angry!! January 15, 2012Good evening all. It's been a slow week for rants. Only about a dozen or so came in and a couple were rejected. (We want rage people, not arguments or insults) Mrs. Webmaster is back in China taking care of her mother. The Webmaster is absolutely miserable of course. On the job front, still nothing. A recruiter would like to meet him, so he might take a day from work. However he has dealt with people from this place in the past, (Headhunters), and they were pretty much useless. On the plus side, the Webmaster got some "graft" from a vendor, 4 pounds of very tasty Kansas City steaks! YUM YUM YUM!!! Ah well, until next time, Stay Angry! January 8. 2012 Greetings and welcome to Hell, I mean the Election season. The phones here at Anger Central Central Command have been ringing off the hook for the last week. In one 45 minute period, we had 12 calls from Ron Paul. The Webmaster finally sent out a tweet that said "Stop calling! I'm not going to vote for that nutjob!" One more day and it's over for about 8 months. Mrs. Webmaster is leaving for China tomorrow morning. She will be gone for 4 months, although it is possible she will come home early. (That would mean her mother has moved on to a higher plane of existence) The Webmaster will also be getting his review at his Real World Job. As usual, he isn't thrilled. He still has no word on his future, but since Mrs. Webmaster will be gone, he will no doubt lose his job. This has happened every time since she came to America with one exception. Speaking of which, no news on the job front. Companies aren't hiring, thanks to Obama, and the jobs he does see are either for short term contracts or they want a ridiculous amount of skills and certifications. They also are offering stupidly low compensation levels. If the Webmaster, or anyone else went for the levels of training and certifications these nitwit IT managers and HR people want, it could cost over $500,000. A person, if very good and timing it correctly, could do all these classes and tests in a year. It takes less to train a brain surgeon! Getting back to the election, Tuesday is Primary day. The Webmaster lives in New Hampshire and will be voting in the primary. He hasn't decided yet who he is going to vote for, but he does no who he is going to vote against *cough* Romney, Paul *cough* For those who visit our blog, you will see links to Hot Air. The Webmaster found out that Blogger Ed Morrissey was visiting the Webmasters home town. He was annoyed that he didn't know, otherwise he woujld have gone over and gently prodded him about supporting Mittens Obamney. ;) Oh Well... Until next time Stay Angry! January 1, 2012Greetings all, it's a new year and time to clean the house a bit. First, as you can see, we've trimmed the News section. The old section has been moved to the archives and you can follow the link above. We've also trimmed down the RSS feed. It now has the last few posts from December that hadn't gone up yet as well as the ones that came in today. The Angry Systems Administrator posted a long entry dealing with our monthly stats and the back end things. He also mentioned that we have been online for 14 years. Yes, it's been 14 years since the Angry Webmaster registered Angry.net and activated the site. He also noted the Webmaster's rather fruitless job search. He wants to move on while he can rather then wait for the axe to fall and who can blame him? He's been seeing a lot of contract work but nothing permanent. While he has done contract work in the past, he doesn't like it and would rather have a long term permanent job with good potential for learning new things and growth. Sort of like where he was at before the company was sold and the buyer began shutting down the old company. :( Mrs. Webmaster will be heading back to China for 4 months. The Webmaster will be very unhappy of course. January 9th until May 2nd? Yes he will be miserable. Oh well, until next time... Stay Angry! |
