Thanks, so do I.

Thanks...part of me wants it to hit so I can go out and get some pictures, but the other part doesn't want it to hit so I don't have to shovel a lot of snow. Decisions!

I totally get that!

Thanks for the coords. Looked. Never been to that part of the US, and I've been to quite a few spots.

I just want to say good luck. We're all counting on you.

Worth it?

Now on to some good news: I HAVE A JOB!!!! That's right, I have a job.

That's great news CCT, well done mate. Hope it all works out.

Now, I will say that while this isn't the actual job I want, I'm working towards medical coding, it is within the healthcare industry, so that's a start. And this organization is extremely difficult to get on with, so the fact that I'm in, even as a temp, is a good thing.

Congratulations!!!


If it gets your foot in the door and your co-workers or manager are cool, they may be able to HELP you get the coding job.

Morning, Gents, from a, finally, cold Cape Cod/New England! Not that I was really complaining about the warm weather, but we need winter to come around. It's been so warm the moths were starting to come out again. New England's supposed to be getting a big storm tonight and into tomorrow, bypassing the Cape mostly, but we'll see how that goes. This storm could track further south and hit the Cape, it's been known to happen, so we'll see.

Now on to some good news: I HAVE A JOB!!!! That's right, I have a job. I don't know the title of the position, but I'll be working with Cape Cod Healthcare (they own everything health related here on the Cape) transferring data from their old system to their new one. I got this position through a recruiter I've been working with and was told I'd have a phone interview. Well, this is how it went:

HR Person: (Tells me about the position, then asks) "So tell me about yourself."
Me: "Well, I'm an experienced data entry clerk specializing in Litigation Docketing with experience in supporting 160+ attorneys by tracking all important dates and deadlines to ensure that no date or deadline is missed with the court. I've also worked as a Records Clerk helping to manage Central Files room and Corporate Minute Books."
HR Person: (after a pause) "Well, you are way over qualified for this position..."
Me" (thinking to myslef) "Great, here it comes."
HR Person: "...however, I think we can move you to a position that's more inline with your qualifications when this one is done. So, do you want the job?"
Me: "Uh, yes, thank you." I was truly caught off-guard by that. I thought that when she mentioned I was over qualified I was done for...thankfully she went the other direction. And the fact that she's already thinking of keeping, or at the least, bringing me back on for another role before this one even starts is a good thing...I thanked her for that. I'm so happy right now. It truly is a Christmas miracle. Now, I will say that while this isn't the actual job I want, I'm working towards medical coding, it is within the healthcare industry, so that's a start. And this organization is extremely difficult to get on with, so the fact that I'm in, even as a temp, is a good thing.










It sucks when that happens, and I've certainly done that a few times during these last two years. This time around, however, was different. I think it was due to the fact that I was ready to leave my last place. While I like my job and the people I was working with, it's not what I wanted to do, and things were starting to annoy me, so when I left I knew it was time to look for something I wanted. So thankfully it didn't happen this time around.



Didn't happen, but I'm going to try and get around to it this weekend, maybe even tomorrow if there's enough snow on the ground.







Unfortunately the DD got wicked car sick, so it didn't happen. I am, however, going to see what the snow situation is like tomorrow morning, and maybe even try it this weekend.



The one place I'd love to check out on the Massachusetts is the Captain's quarters, but it's blocked off, as is higher up on the mast.



They were setting off fireworks. If you Google it you'll be able to find a video of it online.



For me it comes down to me not being a landscape photographer. As much as I love landscape photography and the such, I don't consider myself good at it. As a result, I have all these pictures that I've never edited. Now, some are good and some are bad compositionally, but I'm overly critically when it comes to things I do, so most pictures I wind up not liking.



I'm with you, dude. We are all critical of ourselves and the things we do. If you share, I'll share.



Love the pics.



Love the pics.















Nice when that happens, huh? There's a group of us that's been doing breakfast every Saturday for over 20 years. Well, when Covid hit we went online...and it just wasn't the same.




We have an old SAC base in my hometown of Roswell, NM, and the Air Force use to come to town once a year for training. It was always fun to sit and watch the crews run out to their planes and get things going.

Congratulations on the job.

I have an interview tomorrow with our hospital for a job as well. I'm almost out of hope.

Huh????

I thought you started a new job across the river.

Anyone else cold this morning... ☃❄

Not while I was still at home.
As for the time I spent in the office today...

That's a different story.

Now on to some good news: I HAVE A JOB!!!!

Sometimes you win.
Good to hear.

Ok, I've been inspired by @GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes to post some pictures. Enjoy.

The marsh is particularly nice.

This is all fun and game until someone starts questioning why you can hear explosions and engine noises in space during Star Wars movies.

It's written up in a contract somewhere, I'm pretty sure.

Morning All.

Two days of work left for 2020.

 

[CapeCodTenor]

Mornin', Gents, from a snow covered Cape Cod. It did wind up snowing last night, but it wasn't too cold so it's a wet heavy snow. It's now raining, so it no longer looks good for pictures. So, what I'll do instead is post a couple of pictures from past storms. Enjoy and have a good one, gents.

I totally get that!

Yeah...it'll happen whether I want it or not. The question then becomes: How do I deal with it?

Thanks for the coords. Looked. Never been to that part of the US, and I've been to quite a few spots.

Beautiful country up this way...you should plan a trip.

That's great news CCT, well done mate. Hope it all works out.

Thanks, man, appreciate it.

Congratulations!!!

Thanks!

If it gets your foot in the door and your co-workers or manager are cool, they may be able to HELP you get the coding job.

That's what I'm hoping for. Once in, I can then network and make friends who will hopefully help. Even though it's unionized, and as such seniority is a big thing, I'm hoping to make myself indispensable. I understand, of course, that last on/first off thing happens, but if I make a good impression then someone will want me back as quick as they can manage.

Congratulations on the job.

Thanks, man, appreciate it.

I have an interview tomorrow with our hospital for a job as well. I'm almost out of hope.

That's awesome, but what happened to the job in Indiana?

Good Job, Really Good Job!

Thanks!

Sometimes you win.
Good to hear.

And I won with this one.

Thanks. There's plenty of marsh around Cape Cod, so plenty of opportunity for good pics. I'll try and post some more later.

We had a saying in the Navy: "It's in the script." that pretty much explained everything for us.

Morning gents.
Last two days have been so busy that I actually started to worry about it. Hoping today will be a little bit slower. Maybe...

I need to get back to work so I can relax, 'cause staying at home sure ain't.

Beautiful country up this way...you should plan a trip.

I am! But whether or not it happens this decade...

Evening from a snowy Westfield NB, This is the first winter in 44 years that I won't be plowing snow, I'll be glad to hear my replacement plowing my driveway at 4am instead of me.

My machine wouldn't start this morning because of the cold weather, got a 2 hour nap while they brought me another.

It's a might chilly out there.
How 'bout some more pointless images, but of someplace that a mite warmer...

Nice pics, I'd like to be at one of those beaches right about now.

Morning All.

Warmed up a bit today so that's good. Now if those two really cold days would just be it for the winter, that would be great.

Nice pics Rob. St Thomas??
