Preserved Topic: 2000th and announcement

Yay, 2000. Whodathunkit?

With my 2000th post I want to tell everyone about an opportunity that has come my way which I will accept Monday. I'm going to be changing jobs yet again.

I have an offer on the table from a company called ScriptPro. (Put that between a www. and a .com and you'll be at their homepage.) Basically they manufacture a robot that fills prescriptions at pharmacies. They are the market as far as this product is concerned having contracts with giants like Eckerd and Walgreens.

My job will be to go onsite when a pharmacy purchases the equipment and train the pharmacists on how to use the machine. Its going to require travel, but its a really sweet deal. Basically I'll be gone about 5-6 days including one day devoted just to getting there. The first work day is all training; 10-14 hours of it. The following 3 days are basically me hanging out in the pharmacy and making sure the robot is running correctly and that the employees can use it. Then I'm gone, back home for 4-5 days off.

It was a tough decision for me because I love the company I am with now and the people that I work with. In the end it came down to getting a chance to travel while I am young and have nothing to tie me down (ie: family, spouse, prison sentence), as well as the fact that I have the opportunity my first year to make $10,000 - $20,000 more a year than I could hope to make at my current job after being here 4-5 years. Considering the amount I owe to the government for "helping" me with my education, that will come in very handy.

So thats the news in my neck of the woods. I've been occupied with that and my current job lately and thats why I haven't been around here much, on ICQ, or keeping my site up to date. Hopefully I'll be able to get back on it soon.

Cheers to you all!

I would of taken the job too, thats a bunch of free hotels you can crash (I decided to leave my next comment out)

Wow! I really hope your job works out! It sure sounds sweet!

Oh yeah, and if I'm ever in Sweden Doc, I'll look you up and dinner's on me.

(That goes for all my Asylum pals... What is the address to that locator map that linear made again???)

If you come to Miami, Dinner's on me man!

Now get back to work and show everybody why do you reached your 2000 post here!

That sounds cool, Krets! Hope it works out in the long run. How will you get to the Asylum for your pills?

~~?Evil knocked on the door. When Faith opened it, no one was there.?~~

A funny thought just flashed as I contemplated robots filling out prescriptions ...

"DANGER, Kretsminky, DANGER!" **robot lights flash, torso swings to and fro, arms flail wildly** "The drug interaction between these two prescriptions could be fatal! DANGER, Kretsminky, DANGER!"

congrats on the new job and reaching 2000!

well... looks like I won't be buying any medicine from now on.. lol

Just kidding... congrats Krets...

Congratulations!

Wow Krets, it sounds like a really cool job. Travel some and then some days off, more money, what more could you ask for. Sounds like you will be able to learn a lot and have some fun.

I think that traveling would be a great way to see some places that you haven't and you don't have to pay for it. In fact the company pays it for you!! SWEET!!

If you are ever in the NC area, there are quite a few of us in the Asylum that live in this area, so I think that it would be great!!!!

Good luck and have fun.

Congrats ! But I already knew this hehe

ohhhhhh

I want a robot for my Black Pills !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~ Poor guy, he's got a PBS mind in an MTV world.~

Congrats Krets.

Be careful with Viagra

Thanks all.

I wouldn't want to mess up my Viagra and my Propecia. My hair would stand on end all day.

I'll definitely let you all know where I'll be. We can all have a little dinner and a *few*drinks on the company.

Don't worry, the company gives you a new laptop so I'll still be able to check in with that. Plus, I'll be able to install all the fun toys (PS, Flash, etc.) on the laptop so I can spend lots of time with them. Yay!

Way to go krets!

I want a robot of my own *envy envy*

hmm.. if you get to Sweden maybe we can arrange a my-company-buys-the-beer-for-yours-kinda thing

I knew it.

Robots exist to steal medicine from old people. Fucker.

free drugs?

So dinner *and* Placidils are on you?

Jason

congrats. congrats dear kretsili.

So...is that a no Krets?

~Leaves a post-it-note-it on Docs monitor requesting a robot for my Black Pill duties~

~How can you expect somebody to keep a secret if you can't keep it yourself? ~

Sure Shi, you can have a robot if you want one.

That will be $150,000 please. Check or charge?

Is it cute?

Judge for yourself

hmmmmm well ok it will work to dispense the Black Pills but it's missing that Jetson's robot personal look about it

Oh well, I think maybe I should just ask for 1/2 that amount from Doc and forget the one you have I'm sure all of you would rather me come to your cell than you have to go to some cold machine for pills

Sorry a bit late bit anyway.

Congrats on the new job and I would tell Luxo_Jr about that thing about messing up Viagra and my Propecia, That would go down a storm at his 18th party lol.

Have fun krets

It almost looks human!

The Robot!

So, you'll go around training people on how to be high tech drug dealers?! Cool!

But they MUST do something about that horizontal scroller at 800x600. Give 'em the smack down, Krets!

Congrats, Krets. That's a pretty damn cool-sounding job to head into. And for more money, yet!

And about the robots themselves: at least they probably won't malfunction and take over the pharmacy every week, a la Data... will they?

Congratulations Krets! Mmmmm, robots, yummy. (The extra money prolly doesn't hurt, either! :-) I like the idea of traveling, I traveled for work for nearly 3 years when I was about 25 or so, once you collect too many responsibilities this won't be a good option, so see a lot of things now, woo! Will you be flying to different places, or will you be traveling with the robot? Hope it's the latter, no better way to see the country than by car or truck.

Shiii, we already *have* a robot for these things, didn't you know? Unfortunately it's... malfunctioning some. It kept going on and on about "must destroy creator" and things like that, I felt obliged to lock it down in the basement until it grew out of that phase. Hmm, that reminds me, better go check! ... ... ... Say, has anyone been playing with the locks down in the basement? There's a few doors down here that appear to have been ripped off of their hinges, how strange.

Your pal, -doc-

Actually Doc, I'm the third "wave." The first is the setup people who set up the robot and make sure its working properly. Then a "workflow specialist" comes in and observes the overall organization of the pharmacy and makes recommendations on where to put the robot, how to organize everything, etc. Then I come in for the training. So I'll be flying to the locations unless they are close. I like it that way though so that I don't have to spend a lot of time on the road, I really don't enjoy driving at all.

jolly good Krets on both achievements ~Vp~

mmm... congrats yet again my friend.
see if you can't make your way out to my side of this planet... I'll keep a few bottles of liquer ready.

Cheers man.

*applauds with enthusiasm*

OH i wish i had found a job when i was young and i could travel, instead i opted for the married with kids.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Congrtas, krets on P2K. ! Yea, yea, the jobs thing is cool, too.

I`ll hold you to that dinner thing.



Why, yes. I was raised by Apes. How did you know ?

Grats on 2000 and have fun at the new job!

It's cool you don't mind traveling, I hate that and would never take a job that required it. Krets, you just keep movin' on up just like the Jeffersons, LOL!!! What's next for you, CEO? Good job, dude... and I bet that 2k feels good.

Congrats on the job and the 2k post Krets! So, 4 days work, then 4 to 5 days off eh. Sounds like a very sewwt deal indeed.
