It's going great, Doug E Doug. Moved to Morgantown about a year ago, finished up my MBA, now just trying to find a tight gig to make some loot.

Funny, me too.

Yea, tell me about it.

@ßöмßäяðîëя

I missed discussion this while I was traveling overseas and had my password refused, locking me out of posting on the forums for a while. :D

Great on the MBA. The nice thing about that is that it will offer you flexibility -- so you can transition into other roles. A friend of mine used to be an IT tech at my company when I worked with him back in the day. He was good technically, and grew a lot since then. But once he got his MBA, suddenly people realized he knew how the business could work too, etc. The guy ended up becoming CIO of Starbucks, EVP and President of Best Buy, and is now a major mucky-muck at X (aka Google [x]).

The IT/health care thing is desperately needed. The good news for you, which is also a little bad, is that historically healthcare IT is the retarded and deformed bastard child of the industry. They were driven by clueless hospital administrators and doctors and lagged most of society by about 15 years.

Today that's changed. It's actually one of the unspoken improvements brought about by Obamacare: the effort to better digitize the industry from health care records to online services to in-hospital functions. It's still a step behind the cutting edge stuff in Silicon Valley per se -- and some of that has to be due to regulatory channels -- but it's catching up and it's a great opportunity for someone who knows a few things to really show everyone how it should be done. Good luck at that...

    That's tight, I would love to get into something like that. I'm still looking in the area, however. I appreciate the feedback, and thanks for the kind words.

    I've just got news that my godbrother has been killed last night when he was hit by a truck while cycling in Serbia. Man, it just wont stop with that family. He was in a coma after a car crash 5 years ago, three years ago his mother passed away from cancer and now this. I have no fucking idea what to say when I call his sister and brother. I'm wrecked by this, completely.

    Entered an excerpt from Walt Whitman and he came after 5 other writers in the analysis result :lol:
    Nice! Good test. Like when Carl Sagan took the "intelligent life" detection algorithms directed at outer space for SETI, redirected them at earth, and found the results were "inconclusive".

    That's profoundly sad. So sorry to hear of your news. Best wishes for the strength to get through this with family and friends.
