Two Wrongs Making It Right

Everything and nothing

So I quit my job !

Long long story, but to sum up:
They made promises before hiring me - I found out they weren't true - I called them on it - They told me I would have the opportunity of maybe working my way up to another team where I would get a better level of training (but still not to the point I was told) - I quit - They're charging me relocation fees of almost 2000 Euros.

Result: HP and Manpower seem to do business in a very sleazy way...

I'll see what happens in all this and probably will post the whole story here someday, although I doubt the 1,6 readers of the site will be very amused.

Upside: I got a job with Dell, who are apparently much more serious, proposed to take me on to the Server support team but, if everything goes well, I'll be looking at a promotion after 6 months.
And they pay me a lot better.

Is anyone reading this ?

What's that sound ?
Just finished listening to Boards of Canada - Twoism.
Very good, need to listen to it again to digest. Might actually be a masterpiece and I just haven't realized yet...

Just started listening to Jose Gonzales - Veneer
Have only listened to two songs so far but can't say I'm impressed. I'm still giving it a shot though and will continue listening on my way home from work.
The Sony TV commercial has to be one of the best commercials ever, 250.000 bouncing balls - No computer gimmicks, just real bouncing balls, bouncing down a street in San Francisco.
Jose Gonzales' guitar provides the strange relaxed-and-happy sensation I get when I watch that ad.
