While you guys were off LANing

I put my abscense to excellent use.  I applied for the IT director job of a startup company here.  The first 6 months the directors are just working for equity while the CEO and CFO do the funding rounds.  Then there's a bonus at the end when we roll over to salaried.    I didn't really know about that part but i thought it would be great to get in on the ground floor of a company.  Since the last 3 companies i've worked for have been failures, maybe if i'm implanted in the leadership team i can contribute to the success of the company and it won't go under :lol:

Anyway Saturday was the interviews for the people who's apps they were interested in seeing.  So while you guys were all hung over from Friday night I was up early Saturday morning heading to the interview.  Long story short, i nailed it.  So I have a call back to interview with the ceo this week and so i'm expecting by friday i should know if i'm employeed again.  I'm pretty excited about the startup thing , getting to build everything from scratch and really put to use my decade+ of experience.  I'm also excited to be atop the ladder, the only person i'll be answering to is the ceo so it'll be a different experience and a whole lot more responsibility to deal with but something i'm looking forward to.

So i guess monday i'll start prepping myself for the interview.  I'll look at questions on the interent and compose answers based on what i know of the companies direction.  So i'm keeping my fingers crossed.  I'm ready to go back to work, although getting to play 8 hours a day of video games has been fun and certainly improved my gamerscore, i can't pay my bills with that unfortuniatly :lol:  But man would i love to convert 75k in gamerscore to dollars!  :)

It was nice knowing you :) My first job out of college was for startup and my interview was at 11PM at night...so I already knew I was in for trouble. After about two more years of hard work we were bought for 5.7 Billion. Granted, that wouldn't happen today (as this was 1999) but the last startup that I went to after this sold for 200k, quite a difference but was even hard to make it all work. Long hard hours of working odd times. Many folks arrived at noon and left at 2AM in the morning. But, everyone had a blast making it a success.

"Sorry I haven't posted any nudies lately..." I blame Sic. Say "Marry" to a woman and all thoughts of sex go out the window. :)
