The Ink is Drying

Filed under: Work - Ric @ 2:40 pm

Well happy days are here again… Twenty days into working for Silver Lining I’ve managed to land a big six month contract at Number 9 TV. They needed a net centric propeller head, coincidentally I am such a beast in need of revenue. It’s a match made in heaven, or at least the heaven occupied by accountants.

…apparently I fit the bill of fair…

Number 9 TV has a need to expand an already huge data network used for transferring binary large objects composed of video around the globe. They need to do it even more so as a result of having to cover a certain repetitive, four year cycled, frenzy of precious medal distribution as a reward for athletic prowess. Am I being vague enough?

Seems they want a technical guy with an “artsy” head. One who won’t drone on about bits and bytes all day and apparently I fit the bill of fair. I suppose the clincher was in the pop psychology questions during the interview.

“So Mr. Knight, which do you choose, Coke or Pepsi?”

“Neither”

“excuse me?”

“They’re both dark, but neither of them is a Guinness”

“Point taken - good answer.”

So like Captain Kirk, I succeed at this HR inspired Kobayashi Maru and secured victory. Now where are the green Orion Slave Girls at?

    This is amazing news sir!!! Must drink dark liquids with foamy top stored in oak barrels as we sing songs occasionally badly (just sticking with the stylized vagueness of your post)!!!
