I got my
last four weeks in my current job (got my 3 month notice reduced to 6 weeks via mutual agreement) and I am bored out of my skull.
Manager doesn't want to put me on new projects and I am excluded from team meetings - which is a good thing. But I don't really know what I am supposed to do now. i don't want to take my remaining holiday - seems a waste - and I prefer the money. I am SO bored that I open a technical book and a paragraph in (trying the 5.1. Deepdive) I even get bored of that.
Wish they would send me on gardening leave .....
Oh, the most annoying thing is how the "negotiation" about my early release went.
Me:" I resign bla bla"
Them:" When do you leave"
Me:" Anything between now and three month - I'd work my notice if required"
Them:"Ok, any time really is fine"
Me:" Cool, let me check with new company"
< time passes and I realized its in the middle of the month approaching next pay day >
Me:" I guess end of November ? "
Them:" Doesn't make much sense - we got nothing to do for you - November 3 ?"
Me:" Cool"
Them:"Let me talk to HR"
< day later >
Them :"Let's make it end of november"
Me <mutters> "ok"
Me <next day after letting new job know and asking Them again> "So why not November 3?"
Them:"Oh, I don't care when you leave"
Me < slams head on table >
We got a delivery of 4 new fully loaded DL 380 G8 and because I was bored - I created two 3-host vSphere cluster, one based on vSphere 4.1 and one based on 5.1 - 5.1 being nested with full redundant AD, SQL and NFS infrastructure ... That was within a single day and done by 5pm grmpf .....
I think I'll take a bash at the vCloud Director 5.1 - haven't touched it since 1.5 and since I
cancelled my iAAS exam due to lack of knowledge and being way too keen, I may as well use the time wisely ...
Still bored though
