Chohole is being pedantic again.
Beware of protracted protractor contractions!
Talking to a headhunter about a possible permanent job in San Antonio. Could be nice... will see how things go..
Especially if they are contracted protracted protractor contractions.
Planning on composing a nice Halloween track this weekend when I'm not eating bratwurst and drinking beer: "Redder than blood that flows".. should be done mid/late next week!
I lived in San Antonio for a few months in 1987. Lovely by the riverwalk, but izz hot. April hit 104F.
The pedantic is mightier than the sword. :)
Doesn't matter now - the job requisition has a list of technologies no one human can have, so I explained it to the headhunter said not to even bother! They want someone who can tweak the operating system, do network programming, do Web work, commercial GUI design, do technical documentation. I know a lot of engineers, none of them can do all that. I sure can't!
I've been to San Antonio.. love the Riverwalk! It's too bad..
Most of the jobs I see these days are similar. They want a chief cook and bottle washer! they want someone who will talk the the users to see what they think they want, write out a spec, make charts, write the software, test the software, document the software, install the software, and oh, by the way, you'll be the SQL Server DBA and the network administrator, too! Plus, you need to have at least 3 years experience in this long list of environments and libraries, even those that just came out last month!

Morning. TGIF brain death iz setting in, theoretically should finish by lunchtime but so tired almost nothing iz getting done. That is my complaint nao :)
Godzilla !
I used to bitch when they started to want me to run the PCs, the Mac's as well as my beloved UNIX machines. I kept trying to tell them, in order to do it right you need three people. Each who specializes in one but just tinkers in the others. Then when I had to become a network expert too that's when I started to see the handwriting on the wall. Downsizing is a self defeating game.
Picture this, You're handed several moderate sized boxes and asked to hang on to them. You say, well, I think I can do this, they're not that big...Then you realize that inside the boxes are inflatable rafts that somebody has pulled the trigger on.
and unrelated, yes I do remember them.
Smile and the world smiles with you, cry and the world laughs at you.
I think one of my fish just died.
I'm very sorry to hear that.
We had a headhunter problem in my old neighborhood... But at least yours seem helpful or semi-friendly... Just in case, if you go and meet with one, wear something with a heavy collar... The less neck they see, the less tempted they may become.
Misty,
Forgive me if I insult your intelligence, but, if this is your first time creating a Scope of Work, there are some traps to avoid.
A scope of work is not simply an itemized list of the tasks you propose, but also a timeline and budget to which you will be held. So, take the time to REALLY think about each step in the process you're proposing. Do not inflate, but DO ensure that each minute you need is there. Almost (but not really) to the point of "Pee break (10 minutes) every 2 hours x 8 days - 320 minutes @ $80.00/hr = $424.00" You have to build in wiggle room if you need the support of any other stakeholder; that is a dependency clause. For example: "completion of Task A is dependent upon completion of Task A1 and A2 from the IT department."
Other factors: Delivery of items, uptime of systems, calendar period (Christmas is a killer). access to building or system or resources, Do NOT forget to build in your weekends! If you say a project can be completed in 40 hrs, they will not consider weekends sacred. 40 hrs is 40 hrs. To that end... you may have to state the hours-per-day you will devote to the project, especially if you have other, corporate, demands on your time. If there must be "learning" time (familiarizing with new versions), build it in to your task hours, BUT don't itemize it as "learning". They won't pay for you to upgrade your skills.
Graphics take twice the time you think they do. Infographics take thrice the time. Presentations... Ya gonna eat some billable hours.
The list goes on, but I hope you catch my drift. I once had to eat about $1,500.00 of billable hours because I failed to allow for the time to convert a raw data file to a usable state.
I am, by trade, a technical writer. I've written over 100 RFPs and double the SOWs. Humbly, I would be glad to review if you have the need, or time.
Thanks. not writing anything elaborate.
I'm writing up a scope to make sure i explained properly there are microsoft office software installs involved, etc.
they want graphics in the forms. some people get upset by interface changes, color changes. hoping it'll help if they decide on the colors
blankets with heat inside, oscar mike gulf, don't haz to sleep with freezing feets?
...been there. Managed my client's account, manged the imprinting department, co-managed the digital print department, handled billing data for a second client, all on top of having to pull and ship orders...
...and get it all done in an eight hour day with no overtime.
...for the lofty salary of 11.50$ an hour.
...and if I said anything about it, I'd be shown the door out.
Welcome to the world of "at will" employment.
Retirement never looked so good even if it is on a fixed income.
seriously tempted to call taxi. knee izza a killin me
