Sorry I've not been about recently guys. I was made redundant last week - a bit of a shock - and I'm in overdrive looking for another job.

Good to see the improvements you've made, Nathan. My email notifications have suddenly started working, I note.

Thanks for sorting it all out.

Computer Hope Admin · « **Reply #1 on:** February 07, 2007, 01:43:20 AM »

Rob,

Sorry to hear about your job situation, wish you the best of luck in finding a new job. If you need a reference I'll be glad to be one for you.

I'm happy to hear though that your e-mail notifications are working now. Hopefully, they don't distract you from your job hunting.

Good luck,

-Nathan

Spending to much time counting those book royalties, eh.

Calum · « **Reply #4 on:** February 07, 2007, 04:31:41 AM »

Welcome back, Rob.
Hope you find a job mate, anyone would be foolish not to employ you.
Speaking of books, I wonder how patio's quotations book's coming along . . .

Yeah, if you count a cent at a time, it takes AGES to get up to $33...

Zylstra · « **Reply #6 on:** February 07, 2007, 03:19:19 PM »

I hope you can find a job soon
I am glad to see you back, I was wondering where you had gone
I just started gettting CH Reply notification emails again as well once the forum was up to date, and everything seems to be back at top shape again.

I thought you were just a disembodied head and came and went as
you liked.

Nice to see you back Rob,and all the best on your search for new
and better employment. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Welcome back Rob. I have missed your rapier wit.

You can still count on the standard income here.

The title of this thread reminds me of the old adage, "Absinthe makes the tart grow fonder"...

Kinda sorta like "Beans, beans, good for heart".

[BwaHaHaHa! So, what's the update Rob ?

28 job applications, 4 rejections and 1 interview later, and I'm none the wiser. Waiting to hear back from that 1 interview. Waiting waiting waiting...

Loads more jobs to apply for though. One has got to come good eventually...

street1 (RIP) · « **Reply #15 on:** February 26, 2007, 04:43:11 AM »

Well,all the best to you friend.

Rob Pomeroy · « **Reply #17 on:** February 26, 2007, 10:12:39 AM »

Thanks!

Rob Pomeroy · « **Reply #18 on:** March 07, 2007, 01:48:34 PM »

Just a quick update:

The last couple of weeks I've had a stinking cold, but in spite of that have also been galavanting (take note, street) round the countryside attending various interviews. The short story is that I have been very successful with one particular company and am about to be made an offer. We have already agreed terms, it just requires a director's approval.

Phew!

Incidentally, I'm still waiting to hear back from that first interview...

Calum · « **Reply #19 on:** March 07, 2007, 01:50:52 PM »

That's good to hear, glad you're back on your feet again.

Well, hopefuly, they will take you.

Did you show them your webpage listing ALL of your skills? Wow! You can sure do a lot

I think it would impress anyone

Rob Pomeroy · « **Reply #21 on:** March 10, 2007, 04:01:42 AM »

Thank you. Unfortunately, there is a big difference to a prospective employer between saying "I can program in PHP" and "Someone has been paying me handsomely for producing PHP-driven websites for the last 10 years, and here are some examples of my work"...

Still, someone has been sufficiently ~~conned~~ impressed to consider offering me a job...

Rob Pomeroy · « **Reply #22 on:** April 02, 2007, 12:20:19 AM »

Just a brief update: I start my new job today (in less than two hours' time) so I'm not sure how available I will be here until things "stabilise".

Good luck Rob.

I don't see Flame too often last times. Am I right?

street1 (RIP) · « **Reply #27 on:** April 02, 2007, 05:08:07 AM »

Money,Money,Money.......The root of all good!

Good to hear the great news Rob.

Make sure you keep you head attached.That little
gimmick only works here.

2k_dummy · « **Reply #28 on:** April 02, 2007, 07:32:54 AM »

Just gave you a pay raise. Its not much, but it will buy Sylvester a can of (recalled) cat food.

. . .but that's my entire CH wages for this month . . . you're MEAN!
In my defence, it was my ISP's fault I was late posting . . . I really do hate Tiscali now . . .

patio · « **Reply #35 on:** April 03, 2007, 01:00:48 PM »

Contact Tiscali to see if they can get you back in good standing with us...

This may take some time.

Calum · « **Reply #36 on:** April 03, 2007, 01:08:38 PM »

I can't do anything, they have wangming.

patio · « **Reply #37 on:** April 03, 2007, 01:28:39 PM »

So THAT'S where he wound up...

Glad to hear he's getting paid for his efforts...

Calum · « **Reply #38 on:** April 03, 2007, 01:34:49 PM »

His efforts so far amount to telling me I don't know what I'm talking about and to turn my firewall on.
That was in response to me asking about why they support the NewDotNet spyware.
If it wasn't him, it was someone like him, maybe his brother.
Seriously, I haven't seen him for a while, reckon he'll resurface sometime?
I hope so, he was fun.
