I got a job!!!!!!

May 5, 2007 by  

Leave a comment

I received great news from <prospective hopeful> … I’m hired!!!! I went in yesterday to fill out paperwork and will start orientation on Monday. (HIPAA, security, etc. training … it’s been a while!)

You are now looking at the newest Web Designer for the University of Alabama at Birmingham. :mrgreen:

YAY!!!! I got a job!!!!!!

hehehe … can you tell I’m excited? ;)

I’ll be doing a lot of Sharepoint work in the new job, pretty much brushing up on my ASP and picking up .NET and Sharepoint development — something that I’ve wanted to do for a while but never had the means or opportunity. This is WAY too sweet to pass up. (And I’ve wanted to work for this place for a long time and have heard great things about them!)

I had every intention of posting this last night when I finally got home, but it was late and I had the biggest headache. :???:

Anyways, I’m so happy to have a job again and will be getting out of the house! LOL!!

    Congrats! Saw your announcement on Jaiku via your Twitter note. Wish I worked in a organization that used Microsoft technologies instead of Java/Oracle. Take a look at the just announced Microsoft Silverlight technology as it will likely impact your job soon in a positive way. http://silverlight.net | http://microsoft.com/silverlight

    Hi Roy, thanks. :)

    I’ve been looking at Silverlight over the past week, however it won’t install on my home pc for some reason and from what I read it isn’t yet working for Firefox. But I will definitely be keeping an eye on it as I am told that it will give Adobe a run for their money! I’m interested in seeing what Microsoft has planned for it.

    Looks like we will be at UAB together soon! I am so happy for you and I hope to see you Friday.

    That’s awesome hon! :) I hope I can make it, but I don’t know yet about my hours and all that. I will know closer to the event and will update accordingly.

    Wow! Not only did you get a job, but you got one at your favorite university. This is awesome, Nicki….congratulations to you.

    Rock on! :evil:

    Now all you need to do is blag me a remote access position and i can quit my crappy job. Congrats pickle. It’s been a long time coming hopefully now they’ll be less stressing, and slightly more time having fun (read: irc’ing)

    @John: Thanks. :D

    @Rick: Thanks. :D UAB isn’t quite directly affiliated with Univ of Alabama anymore, plus they have their own sports programs. (And unfortunately many ‘Bama fans refuse to pull for UAB, but I support them! :))

    @Ben: Thank you sweetie! :) My new boss and coworkers are really nice and I think we’ll all get along great. I’m so looking forward to jumping in and getting my feet wet, LOL! :mrgreen:

    Ah—guess I needed to read a little more closely. “University of Alabama at Birmingham” Kind of like here in Oregon, Portland State is a great school, but they have a tough time being recognized by the die-hard Duck and Beaver fans for anything.

  10. Nicki (657 comments.) on May 5th 2007 at 12:42 pm

    hehe, yeah. I wish I could work for U of A, but it’s a 2+ hour commute each way, LOL! Anyways, UAB is better because it also has its own healthcare system, hospitals, clinics, and God knows what else. I swear, this institution/company takes up about three quarters of downtown Birmingham alone! :D
