Just had to tell someone as I am waiting until Tuesday to hand my notice in - but I have a new job! :D First time I have left somewhere to work somewhere else without a gap in between too, so its going to be strange! The job is a bit of a stretch, I am primarily a second line/desktop support monkey, but this new role is to run the whole of the IT for a 150 person, 70 user company! :shock: My official title will be IT Manager, which is nice! Nice salary increase too - finally it feels like my career is going somewhere! Yay me! :D

Sorry for the post, I am just well excited! :oops:

Congratulations in your new job matey.

I'm technically working 3rd line IT support, but DB not desktop. Don't suppose you want to offer any supervisory roles? :D

Good work!

I work in a similar role for an ISP. (I have a small team of 5 girls that I look after in customer services).

Someone has to do it I suppose!:roll:

That leads me to possibly two questions:
1) Are any of them fit?
2) If the answer above includes any form of 'yes', when do you start your new job, and where do I send the application form off to?

Yes, I know I'm shallow, deal with it, I have :D

Thanks - beers would be on me, but as its the first nice day of weather we have had for weeks, I am going to take a mate to pick up his new FZ1 Fazer and stick 150 miles on my bike to celebrate! 8)

I had thought about commuting to the Manchester area. Gave liverpool some careful consideration too. But then, I'm crazy & love being out on the road (in the car or on the bike - but definately prefer the bike). Only thing that stopped me really was the time away from the family.

CheekyLemon, you definately have a better office line up than here. But when you want a swap, give me a shout ;) My boss is old, fat, hairy and likes to swear a lot if the job isn't done fast enough. He also likes to play solitare when he thinks no-one is looking. That sound about up your street? :lol:

Erm, I think I will be OK for now. I will let you know when I change my mind!
