  The Apple bites me (kinda like it) I thought I knew what I wanted but when it came time to make a decision about my immediate future I decided to go the safest route and take a job that wasn't 100% perfect for me. I think after a bit of soul searching I came to the conclusion that I'm not in a strong enough position to pick and choose the job that I really want. There's too much influence from people who only know me as a couple of 8 1/2 X 11 sheets of paper stapled and folded for convenience. So now I'll be able to say that I've worked for two of the biggest software companies in the bay area. That's got to be worth something right? Actually I'm feeling very optimistic about the new gig. I always tell people that when your shopping around for something (in this case a job) you should go into the decision with at least three ideal benefits that will swing your choice to buy (or take) it. If you can say that you've walked away with at least two of the three then you've made a good decision.
So while I was looking for jobs I had three general benefits that I was hoping to snag from my next gig. (Actually I had about 5 total benefits but I deleted two just to save on space. HA! I should be in politics. ) Decent pay/salary A company located in San Francisco Work that didn't suck So using my fuzzy logic I believe that I've attained two of the above benefits.
The pay is comparable to what I was making at my last gig and really I was willing to accept less for the right job. And I'll be working at Apple, which means I'll get to stay on a Mac and that to me "doesn't suck. " Now the fact that I'll have to commute a whopping 100+ miles at day to and from Cupertino isn't all that bad. *sigh* Anyway, I'm not going to gripe. If I really wanted that job watching movies all day sitting on my couch with a comfy pillow nestled snuggly behind my back, I would've written more (or any) insightful reviews and mailed them of to the chronicle or some other rag. Ah well, it's their loss. Only I'll know what great flick urlLink Suicide Club was.
