One Eyed Doll
Posted by Chigley on 07/13/2008 @ 09:23:08 PST |
I got an email out of the blue the other day, from an old friend. Her name is Kimberly, and she is really cool. You may remember her from Steelgirl.com. She was the young lady who drank nothing but carrot juice to see if she'd turn orange. She dissapeared for a few years and suddenly (for me), there she is again, tearing it up on stage as One Eyed Doll. The drummer is JP, who runs Geekass.com
Check out her website and take a look at some of her YouTube videos.

Day 2 ..
Posted by Chigley on 07/08/2008 @ 19:01:34 PST |
SO I just finished my 2nd day at my new job.
The first day was called "orientation", and consisted of sitting mostly in a room with 50 other people, watching corporate videos and propaganda. It was fine though, and quite easy. I met a few good people, and ate some nice pastries.
The second day (today) was more "orientation", this time focussed on the group I am actually working for. This only lasted half the day. When I finally left the conference room around lunchtime, I was surprised by my friend Bob, who kidnapped me from the HR people, and took me out to lunch. All very irregular, and greatly appreciated.
Lunch was excellent. No, wait, lunch was more than that. It was probably some of the best food I have every eaten. The place was a small, mom and pop Greek place. Good, cheap, made-from-scratch food. I had a falafel pita sandwich, and like I said, it was truly a life altering experience.
The afternoon was spent talking to lots of people, getting a feel for what my work will entail. The scope is quite breath-taking. I am excited. I am in charge. Muhahahaha!
The company I work for is a big corporation. They employ 140,000 people worldwide. The division I work for employs around 3000 of those. The building I work in holds around 400 of those. ALthough these numbers are large, and would suggest a degree of Borg-ness, it seems far from that. Everyone I met today was so full of energy and excited about what they were doing or a part of. It's a really fresh and creative environment, and far removed from the place I just left.
So far, so good! |

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do ..
Posted by Chigley on 06/30/2008 @ 14:14:57 PST |
So I'm in my final week here at my current employer. I'm working out my notice and it's all a bit odd. It's like breaking up from your girlfriend or something, only over a longer period of time. I'm sure it would be better to just leave quickly, without the 2 week, slow death march.
Slowly but surely I am being removed from various loops and things are moving ahead without my input. Obviously this is a nescessity and a good thing, being as I'm leaving, but it's weird. People seem a little uncomfortable around me, like something has changed. It's very subtle. Almost like I've got a fatal illness and noone really wants to meet my eye. It's a little bit like the morning after a particularly embarassing party.
I'm taking the entire company out for lunch tomorrow as a thankyou and a fairwell to all my friends and colleagues. It's surprising how many people who I have never really had anything to do with, want to see me off. maybe it's because it's a free meal

Pandora's Box
Posted by Chigley on 06/30/2008 @ 08:22:30 PST |
A friend of mine told me about this cool music site called Pandora. You can create custom radio stations, tailored to your musical tastes. You simply enter an artist or a song and if it can find it, you're listening in a few seconds. Pretty neat-o. It even works on mobiles.

Pandora is part of The Music Genome Project.
