Morning, everyone.

My wife just got back from a week-long trip to Dallas, TX for a class and exam. She passed. She is in IT security/audit, and the exam was for the CISSP designation. I am a proud hubby.

AND I didn't burn the house down while she was gone!

Congrats to her. CISSP is no easy exam to study for or pass.

Yep, she's awesome. We went out and blew way too much money at the Cheesecake Factory last night to celebrate.

I really am reluctant to talk about this because ... well I just treat things like this privately, but I had a call yesterday for a potential new position and it went really well. They said they intend to bring me in for a face-to-face interview within the next week so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #9313 on:** January 24, 2017, 07:10:38 AM »

Hopefully something good comes of it!

ReaperKK · « **Reply #9314 on:** January 24, 2017, 07:15:45 AM »

absolutely. Good look Hyper.

Morning dudes

Hyperplex · « **Reply #9315 on:** January 24, 2017, 07:25:47 AM »

Thanks.

The pay would be increased, the commute would be longer, but the benefits would be much better, and they offer flex time scheduling. So....we shall see.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #9316 on:** January 24, 2017, 07:51:29 AM »

do they allow work from home? That might help offset the long commute as well

Hyperplex · « **Reply #9317 on:** January 24, 2017, 08:26:47 AM »

That I don't know yet. Maybe.

axeman90210 · « **Reply #9318 on:** January 24, 2017, 08:29:23 AM »

Good luck with that Hyper

jjrock88 · « **Reply #9319 on:** January 24, 2017, 11:16:20 AM »

good luck!

Hyperplex · « **Reply #9320 on:** January 24, 2017, 12:04:43 PM »

Thanks guys. At this point it's wait and see. The recruiter is supposed to be talking to his director and arranging an interview. Could be later this week but more likely next week.

Hey, if it makes you happy and still financially sound, then you hit the jackpot.

Mooooooorning.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #9325 on:** January 25, 2017, 06:45:20 AM »

What's happening blob?

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #9326 on:** January 25, 2017, 06:46:48 AM »

Oh you know, not much.

What about you?

Hyperplex · « **Reply #9327 on:** January 25, 2017, 06:48:40 AM »

Morning. This week has been brutal and it's only Wednesday morning. Sun is out today so hopefully it will be better.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #9328 on:** January 25, 2017, 07:15:35 AM »

Suns out, buns out, am I right?

ReaperKK · « **Reply #9329 on:** January 25, 2017, 07:16:36 AM »

Nothing much just bought some tickets to see Arrival this weekend. I know I'm late but I still really wanted to see the movie.

I'm interested in seeing that one, although I'll wait until I can watch it at home. I don't have anyone to go with to most of the movies I'd want to see.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #9331 on:** January 25, 2017, 07:20:53 AM »

I haven't seen it yet, either.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #9332 on:** January 25, 2017, 07:23:20 AM »

I've heard very good things about it, and it seems like my type of movie.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #9334 on:** January 25, 2017, 07:47:06 AM »

I don't know much about the movie but a lot of people likened it to Contact, which I enjoyed.

Chino · « **Reply #9335 on:** January 25, 2017, 07:50:35 AM »

I haven't heard of this movie until this thread, but if people are comparing it to Contact, I'll go in blind.

Won't that hamper your ability to watch the movie?

Good things about a slow week: hour-long lunch date, come back to zero emails.

Interstellar completely loses it's way in the 3rd act and that ending is just so unsatisfying.

I dont know, I thought the ending was what made the movie. Like without the twist ending, I'd rank Contact higher but because it had that time warping twist ending, it really made the movie for me which I do agree had started to lose its way towards the end.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #9344 on:** January 25, 2017, 12:01:39 PM »

I hated Interstellars denouement.

It felt so rushed and un-explained and not in an inception kinda way. Just this then this then this. THE END
