Good news: I'm getting a promotion to lead developer for a global intranet site.
Bad news: this means I'm going to be working in Drupal. - Mark H
Good news: a promotion means more money (to be discussed further). - Mark H
Bad news: but I'll have to move into the Drupal office (a.k.a. The Morgue). - Mark H
Good news: I'm going to go on a training course. - Mark H
Bad news: but, of course, it's a Drupal course. - Mark H
Good news: all the courses look like they take place in America. - Mark H
I really don't want to move out of my nice office. It's a really nice office, away from the sun, it's cool, it doesn't smell, there are just two of us in there. The office where the Drupal guys work is a cesspit by comparison; hot, crowded, and almost silent whenever I pop in. We shall have to see how this pans out. - Mark H
Congratulations? - Todd Hoff
Thank you. I think I'm going to have to see what sort of remuneration is being offered for this opportunity to sweat amongst people with all the charisma of corpses before I commit to it. Although a few days in New York, Washington, San Francisco, or Austin learning the one or two things I haven't already worked out from poking around code is appealing. - Mark H
Congrats, I think. Didn't you just get a promotion a few weeks ago? - Anika
Anika: no. But I did post an interminable list of deployment and testing steps that I had to undertake (which showed that I am able to follow simple instructions with no oversight); that's possibly what you're remembering. - Mark H
Congrats! - John (bird whisperer)
Wow,that's fantastic, Mark! Sorry about being stationed in Drupal, though. Hope it leads to even bigger and better opportunities. :) - Kelli H.
Meanwhile, in true me fashion all I got out of this was, "yay! More hanging out time for me!" but, okay. Pushing past that, I hope it works out for you. Being given the chance, even if ultimately you don't take it, is still nice. Go you! You're racking up the gold stars today. <3 - peamageddon from iPhone
Congrats on the recognition, at least :) - Eivind
Good news: It's pornography :D Best wishes Markeh, I can't fuckkn believed I missed Eurovision, Amy tweeted, I just didn't get it in time :( - sofarsoShawn
Thanks everyone. Eivind, always remember: when it comes to promotions there's a fine line between recognition and desperation. - Mark H
