Hey,
Before Rx7scene got moved, I posted a post about how I got fired from my last job...to those who remember seeing it, then you will know how important this is for me.
to make a long story short, I found out an hour ago that I will now be a contractor at Cisco Systems!!
I am still in shock. Total Utter Shock, and happiness.
I just wanna thank God that my prayers were answered, and I will be looking forward to this foot in the door of this wonderful company.

oh yeah, i know how bad it is.
man i am blessed.
did you know that I couldnt get unemployment because of how I was fired...and that I ran outta money from the money I was saving to get a project FD...I have been outta work since the end of Feb.
been selling things on Ebay to pay my bills. it is ruff.
I tried applying at a few retail places in the mall, but when they saw my previous work exp and salaries, they never called me back.
I wanna tell everyone to keep at it, because these are the months when people go back to school, and slots open up.
first chance I get (real soon, because this is still a slow period for the economy) I am going back to school. I believe I was passed up for a lot of positions because of my lack of 4 year degree...
I ll stop rambling now...im still dazed..

Congrats I know EXACTLY how you feel. Being out of a job and starting to get to a very critical point myself....
Contracting for Cisco would be a trip, lots of fun.
Wish I had a degree, but never had the time to do it. Certified like mad, just no college

Today was my first day at Cisco.
Man I have to get used to all of the perks around there, like FREE SODA and BOTTLED WATER from the machines, free use of their tech labs and excercise rooms and who-knows-what-else they have there.
I ll let you know how it all turns out.....
