HarryN / Harry N. 4. thefultonhow / David 5. Can someone text me sometime on Friday reminding me that the meet is that day? Actually, I'd rather receive 5 texts than 0, so everyone who can remember to, do it! My cell is 410-456-3253, and hopefully a spambot won't grap on my numbered...

Ken's Suba... erm... is not purchased yet. Tommy, we'll see. I think he is going to be busy with the kid again. That or GT5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated thefultonhow Posted December 8, 2010 I Donated Share Posted December 8, 2010 Ken's Suba... erm... is not purchased yet. Also, dammit, why did my girl have to get an amazing job offer... from Starbucks, in Seattle? It's there or here, and it looks like there, she alone would be making what she and I together would be making if she came here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyGTBiggie Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 so yourmoving to Seattle? When? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated thefultonhow Posted December 8, 2010 I Donated Share Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) Dunno if I am. She hasn't accepted either of her offers (and frankly, neither is totally finalized). If her Booz Allen offer goes up, or if the guy at Starbucks can't convince HR there to pay her what he wants to pay her, she'll stay here. And she may just take the pay cut and stay here anyway. If she does go out to Seattle, we're just going to have to live with the long-distance relationship for at least a year longer, because I'm the sole desktop support guy for 1000+ computers at my job, and I don't want to leave them in the lurch with no replacement for me. Both of us are agonizing over this. Starbucks would be a much better career move for her (the guy wants to fast-track her for management), and frankly, she has more earning potential than I do. But I like my job, and I don't think I would be able to get anything similar to it in Seattle. It's a pain. Hopefully Booz Allen will want to pay her more.

Oh man, do you know how many IT jobs are out there in Seattle??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated thefultonhow Posted December 9, 2010 I Donated Share Posted December 9, 2010 Yes, yes, but my current job combines IT and photography. I like that, and I'm not sure if I'd be able to find it in many other places. Also, it's a good work environment and very flexible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Donated thefultonhow Posted December 9, 2010 I Donated Share Posted December 9, 2010 Where in Booz Allen is your wife applying to? Dulles/Herndon? McLean? Ft. Meade. Not wife yet, just girlfriend, but it's going in that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryN Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Ft. Meade. Not wife yet, just girlfriend, but it's going in that direction. Hahaha!! RIGHT BY WHERE I WORK (literally up the road from me)!! If she gets a job there, have her look up a good friend of mine named Matt Neeley. He is a very good guy and should help her out in fitting in. It can be pretty cut-throat over there. Just have your wife drop my name and he will go from there. I usually go up there as well for meetings and whatnot. I hope it all works out. But I hope she is ready for the 1 paycheck a month that Booz likes to do. I hope she is there more for experience then getting out, than staying with Booz. There is a reason why that company is a revolving door, unless you are a level 3 or higher. And no, I did not make a typo when I said "your wife".

There is a reason why that company is a revolving door, unless you are a level 3 or higher. I think I might need to talk to you about why you're saying that. I heard it from someone else too. She is looking for something semi-long-term if at all possible, so I'd like to hear the rationale behind it. I forget, are you going to be there tomorrow?

HarryN Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Work permitting, I should be there, albeit a little late. Roppongi Sho works at the McLean office and there is a reason why he is looking to get out of there as well. As soon as the job reqs get released at my company, I am going to try and pull him on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJMC Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 This convo should probably be taken to a new thread but I'll chime in for a quick comment I've worked with a lot of BAH people in my industry and it really takes a certain personality to want to be there long term. BAH does expect you to work! I would say 30% of the BAH people I've met have left the company by their own choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Donated thefultonhow Posted December 10, 2010 I Donated Share Posted December 10, 2010 What time is the meet, again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyGTBiggie Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 we normally meet up between 7:30-8pm and then go in to eat. given how chilly it has been as of late... I assume the standing around outside part will be GREATLY shortened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryN Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Looks like I may have a change of plans as well. A friend of mine got a job and she is leaving Sunday. I may go to her party instead, once a time frame is confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
