Hmmm did I say I was going to take a certain job? No! Never! Now I'm leaning back towards the big bad corporate that pays a shitload of cash and will pay for my move to Sydney, I'm a god damn capitalist pig! Burn me at the stake! Buuurrrrrnnnn.
I had a chat the the managers from this place on the phone the other day and the job really does sound like something I could really get into, yeah it might not have the breadth of the other role I was talking about a few posts ago, and doesn't come with the "wow you worked for company x" prestiege but yeah, hmm, hard choice! If only I didn't feel like I was getting ripped off for working for company x! Plus they also have a really inconvienent head office in Sydney for me to travel to if we want to live near where astro wants to do uni, could take me over an hour there and over an hour back via PT, whinge whinge.
I had another interview for another IT consultancy firm yesterday, I think it went pretty well, this place was very lax with how they hire people and there has been hardly any hoop jumping. I think they are going through such a massive growth phase that they just need ANYONE with basic skills to join. IT consultancy companies are what you make of them however, they are hard work, lots of face time with clients and lots of travel. Something I don't mind however I don't know if I really want to get back into coding in a big way, some days I think its fine and some days I shudder at the thought. I've been told I can totally avoid doing programming in these places if I want to but I am not completely sure how true this is from the get go. More double hmmmms.
Tonight I went out with shrike and astro, we went and ate really good cheap chinese food and then went and saw a band that shrikes work mate was in, they were really good, much better then I expected, and in my time I have heard a lot of undiscovered Melbourne bands, and these guys stand a chance of getting a record deal with a local independent at the very least. Good luck to them.
It was good to see shrike and chat about things, it seems like we are all sort of growing up a bit, scary but also kinda of nice in a way. :)
Sleep!

Yeah, we are growing up, it's scary. I'm going to be 27 this year - and I would still be up for a lan party! Though I'll always be young inside.. I don't feel a day over 22.
