  2. Spring Tire change / Meet and greet?

    in Events

    Posted

    13th seems like that should work.  let me double check but i think we should be good then.

     

    Just to be clear, I know you're doing this as a favor to all of us who need new tires for the year and I think that should be the focus.  Didn't mean to volunteer you for extras like setting my SAG.  I'll be there for meet and great.  If there's down time for other stuff, that's up to you of course!  :-)

    I attended a PMP bootcamp at the suggestion of one of my managers, paid for by the company.  My mistake was in not realizing the importance at the time and not taking the certification test.  Would have been a lot of work and study, but - well lets just say hind sight is 20/20... 

     

    If there were a way that your current employment could foot the bill for at least a part of your training I would highly recommend it.  Especially if you plan to continue in any kind of project management position.  And sometimes asking for training is a good way to demonstrate your willingness to enhance your worth to the organization...  It's all about them, remember.

    If I weren't in healthcare already, I would look into project management.  Health Care is secure and enjoys relatively good growth.  Good project managers are almost always needed, especially in IT.  If you were interested and could relocate, I would suggest Ohiohealth.  But since you're not ready to move check with the healthcare system in your area.  Doesn't sound like you have your PMP, but working toward that would be helpful.

     

    Good luck!

    I used to be a T-MO customer back when i had my Sony Ericsson T300, my samsung V200, D415, and Eventually the google phone.

    My problem was that I couldn't make a call from home save for 1 corner of my house and even that was spotty.

     

    My sister got VZW and had service everywhere... So I switched.

    I got the motorola rizr, and then the moto Krave. Then i got the samsung Omnia (which really sucked) before getting the original Droid™, then the Droid™ x2, Iphone 4, Droid™ 4, and now I have the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

     

    If Tmo gets their network in order I wouldn't mind switching back. 

     

    If I wasn't handcuffed by corporate restrictions, I'd leave Verizon for T-mo just on cost savings and the flexibility of the month to month agreement.  Verizon definitely has the coverage advantage going for them, tho...

     

    My "first" cell phone was a Uniden bag phone.  Plenty of junk between that and the Crackberry 8520, which I really loved.  Then the dark side called and the sojourn through touch screen devices began.  Sammy is going to be the way to go from here...

    Yeah, I think I'm going to rule out the iPhone.  I've enjoyed the variety of aps available with a droid and I'm not sure I'd have as many choices with Apple.  I've talked to a couple of the other techs in my group that feel the same way, one is a droid geek that tried an iPhone for a year and plans to go back to a droid and the other is an iPhone guy that wants to get a droid.  I know that IOS is a kickass system, but I'm afraid of being locked down to what they want to give me and nothing else.  Just doesn't really fit my 70's hippy persona...  I gotta be free, man.

     

    For what I use my phone for (four different e-mail systems, on-line searching, texting, very little calling) I think that the Note 2/3 would be awesome.  I just don't know how I'm going to carry the damn thing.  Like I said before, I'm not a pocket carry guy and the thing is mighty big to hang on my hip.

     

    Lots of good opinion here, lots of good info.  Really appreciate it.

    Well, I almost pulled the trigger on a Note 3 last night, but the pricing was back up around 3 hundo.  Not gonna do that.  The Note 2 offerings are all refurbs now and since the camera in the 3 was upgraded to be just as good as the S4, that pretty much rules out the Note 2.

     

    I must admit, I'm iPhone curious.  I just can't bring myself to go there.  

     

    Drawback to the Note 3 - If I put it in an otterbox, it makes the thing seem HUGE.  I like having my phone on my hip, I'm not a pocket carry guy, and the holster setup for the Note makes it feel like I'm wearing a tablet.
