Me != Jobless Bum

[CyanBlue]

Hehe... The good part... I've got a phone call from the company that I went to the interview last week and this week, and I've got the job... I am no longer a jobless bum who is sitting in the corder of the basement all day long... :D

The bad part... That place is about an hour drive from my apartment and I just renewed the lease of the apartment last month, so I am stuck in this apartment for 5 more months... But then, it is pretty much the usual for people around this MD/VA/DC area to spend at least one hour to commute... Oh, well... I'll survive... :)

Thankie all... :D

[Stimpson]

Most excellent, great job CyanBlue :). What's your focus in the new job btw?

[CyanBlue]

Um... What focus??? Oh... The main objective of this job will be to find the time to spend more time at AS.org while I am at work... :D

The company has four main projects(2 big and 2 small in my opinion) which will be done by the fall... So, I'll be basically working on those projects... All programming and I work with the designers who will be providing me the 'design materials', so I can solely work on the programming part... :)

[Stimpson]

Yeah, that's what I ment. Sounds interesting enough.

[Colin Campbell]

Cool, good for you.

*signals for beer*

When you starting?

[CyanBlue]

The second week of the February, Colin...
Gotta take care of things around me first... :)
I gotta straighten up what I have so that I can go on even I work there... :)

[dzy2566]

That's awesome CB. Congrats! I'd love a job that I could just program and not have to worry at all about design.

[CyanBlue]

Yeah, I know, dzy... I've been seeing lots of Flash designer ads around the net but there wasn't much of Flash developer position which I loved to be the part of... I think it is going to be great experience and learning ground for me... :)

[subquark]

:eek: oh no, the Rat Race, quick get off on the next exit!

Good job my man! The company is gonna benefit from you! They have no clue that they have just hired THE BEST actionscripter in the world! :)

[CyanBlue]

Well... You can add 'LAZY' after 'BEST'... :D

[farafiro]

wow, wow
now really, his what I can say a GOOD NEW YEAR NEWS
congrats mate from the very bottom of the heart

this gives me hope that I can find a work as an AScripter one day
Good luck Jason
;)

[CyanBlue]

Thanks, farafiro... :)

Yeah... I think you really should look for and prepare for the job... We don't want you work on that boring financial sector with the CFOs and CIOs... We want you work with us here right inside the cubicles... :)

[Colin Campbell]

faffy, happy 8000 posts!

anywho, what are you going to be developing? Web sites for clients? And why aren't you on AIM anymore? :rolleyes:

[subquark]

what are you going to be developing? well, as with any "real" job, he should be developing a taste for martinis! :D

[McGiver]

Congratulationisations :)
Job as an actionscripter very cool :D
Congratulations to the company too, they just hired the second-best actionscripter in the world :p

[subquark]

:eek: second best! :rolleyes:

[McGiver]

just jokin :p

[subquark]

well, actually you may be right, you have that cool game in your sig, and I've been trying to coerce CyanBlue into making a mini Sapce Invaders, so you could be right . . . :D

[McGiver]

The footer is a result of too much free time. I wouldn't say this shows I am extremely talented. But take a look at the help forums: CB has an answer on everything. :)

[binkyboo]

Good to see that your persistance has paid off CB. You're truely an asset to this forum. I can only imagine what you'll accomplish for your employer. Congratulations!!!!!!!

Hey subquark, may I add a drink to the list at FlashMartini.com?

[subquark]

binkyboo I would be honoured to have your drink recipe, does not even have to contain alcohol. :)

maybe when I finish Jesse's XML tut, I can start making that flashmartini a real site! :p

just email me: david AT subQuark DOT com, thanks binkyboo! :)

[gaza]

Congratulations CyanBlue on the new job. I’m now looking for a new job. I just moved to Vancouver, so if anyone knows of anything going, please drop me an email (gaza_newzealand@hotmail.com). Do you have any pointers to offer CyanBlue??

[snapple]

Congratulations CyanBlue, you must be really chuffed!

[boyzdynasty]

[CyanBlue]

@McGiver

The second best??? I am honored, but I've got long way to go... :)


@binkyboo

Um... Persistence??? The only thing I was good at that was me having no job for two years... :D Thanks... :)


@snapple

Chuffed??? Don't know... If I am... I might get evicted from this apartment... :D

a little off topic but i finished the xml tute 2 days ago.. :) :p

[CyanBlue]

@gaza

Hehe... Sorry... I missed yours... :D
No... No tip actually... I just did study alot while I help others and it looks like somebody spotted what I can do... Of course, I think the certificate helped me abit, but not quite sure though... :)

[boyzdynasty]

don't act all innocent now....grrr

lol

[retrotron]

Yee haa! Woo hoo! Congratulations bro, you definitely deserve it!

[CyanBlue]

@boyzdynasty

innocent??? i no cent??? I have no cent??? I am hungry... :D


@retrotron

Hehe... Thanks, brada... I had long long break and it's time to move my butt abit... :D

[baby_annie]

I have never thought you were jobless ;)
Congratulations!!!
Good luck!!
Happy Chinese New Year !

[CyanBlue]

Yeah... Jobless for two years... It was fun days... :D
Thanks alot... :)

I hate to see people saying 'Chinese New Year' even though many other countries celebrate the new year in lunar calendar... :p

[baby_annie]

Ok. I should call it "Vietnamese New Year". :D

[tost]

Hehe.. You see, the economy IS getting better :)
congrats and good luck, Cyan!

;)

Like wise. I say the exact same words as Farafiro I am so happy for you :D :cool:

God be with you on this one man. I hope you stay there until you retire.

[McGiver]

it was a joke :(
of course you are the BEST actionscripter :)

[CyanBlue]

@tost

Thank you but you gotta stop by at the AS.org more often... :)


@WArriro

Hehe... Thanks alot!! I stay there until I retire??? Hm... Actually that's not a bad idea... Well... I won't be telling how much they offered, but they offered more than I have asked and I like the people who I have interviewed... The only drawback is that it is about an hour drive, but I am sure I'd buy my own house before I retire... :)


@McGiver

Oh, come on... Stop giving me heart attack... I am honored whether you say 20th or 200th... :)

[Warrior]

I won't be telling how much they offered
Don't say anything at all. Keep it to your self. Too many people knowing how much you earn is not a good thing.

[boyzdynasty]

go to work already! :D

[Colin Campbell]

He's still got a couple months of AS.org left in 'em :D

[pixelwit]

Congratulations CyanBlue. I'm definitely envious. I hope working with Flash is everything you dreamed it to be.

[CyanBlue]

@pixelwit
Aye, sir... That's what I hope as well... (No sick and tired of Flash day, hopefully... :D) Thanks alot... :)


@Warrior
I meant that I don't make much... That's all I had in that sentence... :)


@boyzdynasty
Aren't you supposed to be working on that MAP stuff??? Get back to work... :)

[splict]

Yay!! Huge congrats, CyanBlue, you obviously deserve it. Let us know how things go. And I hope it doesn't take too much of your time away from AS.org ;)

Do you really think the certification helped? I just recently looked in to this. From the sample q's online the designer one looked really easy and the developer one looked like I would need some studying time, but still within my reach, eventually. This week, I actually found a company in my town that does flash :eek:. Though I'm sure that would be too much to ask for both of us to get a flash job in the same month:p

Again, Congratulations!!!

[CyanBlue]

Well... I sure am going to find a way to sneak into the AS.org... No worries... :D

The thing is that the portfolio that I have showed them wasn't the best one that they might have seen... (Of course, I do not know how was other candidate's so I can't really tell...) And, they did not ask ANY of Flash question when I was on the interview... Most of them were general questions like how do you usually approach the project and such... So, it is logical for me to think that they bought the certificate in a good deal... :)

Hey, the tes wasn't the hardest thing I've ever done... It just required good knowledge in many aspects of web programming... That's all... I am sure you could get the certificate real easy if you prepare just a bit... (Just to let you know, I did not prepare anything for the exam... All I did was doing what I used to do... Helping others at the forum, and learn from them...)

That's good to hear that you found some place where you might be able to apply... Go for it... You never know what's going to happen... :)

[McGiver]

@ Jesse: is there any way to hire CB? Let's say as a human flash database ;)

[Colin Campbell]

Uhoh, McGivers going into his duplicate post phase again...

It should be fun for you though CB, because you were complaining to me a couple of weeks ago about how you hate designing :)

[McGiver]

these are biotech experiments. I try to clone posts :D

[McGiver]

edit: Argh, it happended again :eek:

[boyzdynasty]

McGiver, can you clone CyanBlue? :D

That would be very helpful for me if you can. :D :p

[CyanBlue]

Hehe... That sounds good... Clone me a couple of copies... My wife needs me the best... :D

[bluegel]

aww, congrats congrats cyanblue!

does that mean you wont be round here to chat so often? cos ill miss you :(

[JHallam]

Jason, well done mate, you really do deserve this and more, you've put so much work into this and dedicated your life to it. I'm very pleased for you mate.

What company will you be developing for and if they have any presence online? Fantastic mate, well in!!

Take care

Jon

[CyanBlue]

@bluegel

Oh, come on... I'll do my best to find time to come to AS.org as long as they have computer and the Internet connection at work... :)


@JHallam

What??? Dedicate my lift to it??? Shhhhh... Don't ever say that again... My wife is going to be real mad if she hears that... :D


Well... I was abit cautious about telling the name of the company because there might be 'another' candidate in the AS.org... :( I am sure they are over this stuff already though... :)

This is the job description...
* Dead Link removed *
and basically I'll be doing the conversion processes of those existing menus under the Tools menu on the left into the Flash for half year or so... Some of those that they showed me during the interview were WeatherNet Camera and Map Gallery as a starter...
http://classroom.aws.com/registration/pickSchool.asp

[Stimpson]

They seemed to have removed that job description already, now it's official ;) :).

[CyanBlue]

Hm... Yes... The link was live when I posted it like an hour ago and it is gone already... Geez... I guess I am not dreaming after all... :D

[Ricod]

(Way too late again ...)
Congrats CyanBlue ! And congrats to the company too ! Excellent selection skillz !

[CyanBlue]

Hehe... Thankie, my brada... :)

[splict]

Time to change:

Occupation I need a JOB!!!

in your profile now, huh? ;)

*yes, I'm that bored that I'm looking at random people's profiles - too hungover to do much else ;) *

-splict

[CyanBlue]

Well... Technically I still am jobless since I didn't sign any contract yet... That will be done tomorrow... :)

Go get some rest rather than spying on other people's profiles... :p

[subquark]

I'll be doing the conversion processes of those existing menus under the Tools menu on the left into the Flash for half year or so 18 months! that'll take you 18 hours max, I guess you'll go play golf the rest of the time! :)

[McGiver]

tomorrow is today. Anything in the contract that you did not expect?
If not congratulations :)

[boyzdynasty]

McGiver....were you keeping track? hehe....

[McGiver]

no, I'm just trying to get the last word in the ten newest threads ;)

[CyanBlue]

and now I am goofing around... :D

[McGiver]

:( yeah, I know
