OK Guys and Gals, today is the day.

I go up to Albany after work today for an interview with the Department of State Codes Division for a field trainers position.

Wish me luck (or something like it :cool:).
 
Good luck

Good bunch of field trainers up there.. what's left of them.

I figured for sure they wouldn't be replacing anybody with the current budget.

As was said in a recent DOS in-service program, "the law requires you to have 24 hours of in-service training-- it does not say we have to give it to you"

It'd be great to have another person such as yourself breath life into the program. If I have to take high-piled combustible storage one more time (I don't even have hpcs in my jurisdiction), i think i will go crazy!

Good luck!!!
 
I think it went pretty well. Didn't get too nervous, or say anything too stupid. 'Name dropping' was only done in context of the conversation - not too blatantly. ;) Didn't expect a 'hypothetical', but gave them a good answer to it. Now it's just 'wait and see'.

Mac - Delete some of your 'in' messages, I tried to PM you and got an error message cause your box is full... :(
 
way to go, you did mention you are a password carrying memeber of the Building Code Message Board.

That should have impressed them....

I wish you luck John, but why the change?

Just curious.
 
@ Bootleg - Publically? Ready for a change; have thought for a while I'd be good at teaching this stuff; opportunity arose; to get out of the grind of dealing with lying contractors, cheating/clueless homeowners, Property Maintenance/Zoning complaints. Privately? I'll have to PM you... ;-)
 
John,

I HEAR YOU!!!

Best of luck to you and I know you will be good at anything you chose to do.

Rick

Significant Changes to the 2009 Code and Soo Bahk Do.
 
cda - Plenty to teach about, just tired of dealing with it. 17 years is a long time (for me anyway), I need a fresh perspective. Who knows, maybe I'll be back in the trenches sometime, for now i'd like to try something a little different while still in 'codes'.

Bootleg - Teaching Soo Bahk Do would be rewarding spiritually, but right now I need a job that pays...
 
Well... just got a call from Albany.

I start on May 13th!

Let's hope it's not a 'be careful what you wish for' moment. Looks like I'll be changing my profile location in a few weeks...
