Hopefully it'll be good news, we will keep y'all in our prayers
 

Just incase I do not check in between now and then...

Merry Christmas to everyone except Philip and Christopher. :santa:

Not sure if I made Nate's list, but I didn't make his Christmas humbug list. Merry Christmas to you as well.

Glad to hear. Hope it is good news.
 
Mostly sitting here at my desk or in meetings. All sorts of :headache::mad::headache::mad: meetings. We've been meeting with all sorts of IT Services vendors to find someone to supplement our IT staff. It kind of felt like I was interviewing my own replacements, but I've been assured that is not the case. Then just a few minutes ago I get a call from the Executive VP asking me to come to his office. My supervisor and manager are already in there. First thing I'm thinking is "you've got to be kidding me. Right before Christmas?" Turns out, it was to thank me for my effort and give me a promotion. Senior System Administrator. :faint:

Congrats Barry... couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy.

More proof that hiding passwords from the rest of the organization pays off... You are invaluable!

Tree is finally up. A lot smaller than usual but slim pickings out there.

Woo-Hoo!

Our vacation time off accrues monthly so no big day to get it.

Do you take the auto train? or just a train from NJ? We have friends that drive half way to VA and then take the auto train the rest of the way. We may be doing it with them one of these times.

We take the Auto Train out of VA, done it 6 times round trip now, Nothing like getting off the train rested up and only have to drive 39miles to WDW:thumbsup2

I get a lump sum of time off every Jan 1st for the year, This is another thing that I like about the Union, I get

4 weeks vacation
7 sick days
4 personal days

A few years ago we had some time takin from us during contract renewal, I lost almost 2 weeks worth of time off:sad2: lost 1week Vacation, 3 sick days and 1 personal, I lost more time then some jobs give for the year:rolleyes2
 
Hopefully it'll be good news, we will keep y'all in our prayers

Glad to hear. Hope it is good news.

:tink:

Told ya... It's good when powerful people have your back! ;)

Glad everyone's ok...

Good to know! I hope they have something good to tell you.

Awesome :thumbsup2. Thanks for sharing the news!

Thanks guys for all the support.

Now, we're hoping that her Doc calls and says everything is fine and we don't have to drive an hour to have an appointment with her to go over the results!

Congratulations on the promotion Barry!
Thanks Mark!

:cool1: Congratulations, Barry!! I guess that means you won't need to accept this job offer!
Thanks Andy! You may be surprised, but they usually have so many people show up to help shovel that they have to turn people away!
And the Badgers hired a coach already, so I couldn't do that either.

Thanks Brian. Remember: first day on a new job, change the root password. Not for security, but for job security!
