Hey I'm back, but who knows for how long...

[Robby]

Howdy people.
Been very quiet from me lately. No images, no observing. Crap weather to boot. Don't ya just love the equinox's!
Also I have been on the hunt for new work. My last job gave me the boot all of a sudden, and I landed pretty much you know where!
So I've been running around trying to find new work, and it took me 3 rejections before I landed a job! I've never had a rejection before. It's either age or looks starting to go against me!! Kinda like getting a F for woodwork in 5th form. You start to doubt your abilities.
Anyway I have lannded a job as a DSP engineer for a company called Phitek http://www.phitek.com They make audio systems for consumer and avionics. Sounds like a cool job and will be very challanging!
The down side is that is does mean we will be moving to Auckland, and astronomy will have to be limited exclusively to "out of town escapes"
Wish me luck. I start on the 15th of May....
Hopefully I can find a bit more time for IIS now that I have got the "find a job" bug of my shoulder...
Cheers

Best of luck Robby, I'm sure you'll make it all work out in the long run mate.

[Striker (Tony)]

All the best Robby.

Nice to hear from you...make sure to pop in once in a while.

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Good luck with the job Robby.
Have you found a place to move to yet?

[fringe_dweller]

All the best in the future venture Robby, at least you didnt have to move to the west island to get a job cant be all that bad?

[Robby]

Thanks guys!
jjj, no place to live yet. That's the next job!
fringe, I did think about a move west, but then thought I'd be closer to Paul ponders so quickly dismissed the idae
Cheers

Hey RObby! It's been a while mate, glad to see you back on your feet and I hope things are going well for you.

Great news about the new job, good luck with it and I hope to see you back on IIS some more!

[h0ughy (David)]

sad you lost your job but good that you have now found another one.

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

What a shame Robby, I was workin' on a job I thought you'd like. 15 hours a week checking trails on a mountain bike, $75,000 a year, all the Tui you could drink ( and not the 4% one, the new 16% one ) and the nearest town light about 200km away. Oh well I'll just have to take it myself. That's life

Good luck with the new job mate, I hope it all works out well for you. There's still a cot over here for the pair of you if it doesn't work out and the west island starts to look attractive.




PS. It was definately the looks

[Robby]

Hey Paul, no fair! Gotta give me a shot at that job! I haven's signed the contract yet!
We have actually got a clear night tonight.... So I might do an image or two before moon up at 9pm. Then some Jupiter if the seeing allows...
Good to be back into it...
Cheers
