New Start

     Im not sure if anyone is still on xanga, but i decided to start writing again. It's been a while since my last post. I guess everyone migrated over to Facebook, but I feel xanga/blogging is different. Facebook is more of a show-off type of deal, it's about how much friends you know, how many places you been too, how many photos of your self you have, how many likes/comments you have per post ... etc.  The new era of social media is pushing toward small comments/status/tweeets typically less than two sentense, but how can you expess a thought/ a feeling in just two sentenses. People are getting Lazy cause of this! Coming back to Xanga, I realized how i missed the good old times, where you sit down for hours thinking about whats important to you, not whats important to others; what you want to write, not what others want to read. Blogging for me is a bridge between my conscious mind and the bottom half of the iceberg and then presenting it in words that make sense. It is also a form of cognitive mediation. Believe or not, we act and make decisions thru our unconscious mind most of the time. The faces you make when you are disguised/happy/disatisfied/pissed/angry, you make not even realize it especially the microexpressions. Even the choice of tone or words we use to people we like and dislike differs greatly. A good example of this is how i communication to my manager (CIO)  and the other grays (CEO and CFO). With my manager i can let loose and say whatever is in my mind, except cruel comments about him, but other than that, it's pretty much open. Maybe because we became more than just co-workers, but a friend. For some reason, i get very anxious when i talk to the CEO. Maybe i dont know what you wants me to do. Or i know we dont have any topic to discuss besides work. Or maybe i've seen his nasty side, Kicking and swearing when his printer did not work. When im around him, i shut off my humor side and everything that comes out of my mouth are short answers. And what is going thru my mind is to end the conversation as soon as possible. You might think it might be his authority like a sergeant in the military and is disliked by everyone. Wells in that case, i would have the same tension with the CFO. But i dont. The more i think about it, the clearer i gets. It all leads to Respect.

     It's getting late, so i'll end this post with the importants of Respect and will also start my next thread with Respect.

     Good night all... if anyone is still in the xanga universe.

     Yesterday i finished my last test final. I messed up on a question that he said it is worth a lot of points. Damn, he said i might get an A-. I was literally begging him to give me an A. Fuck all those CUNY professors. They cant do shit right. In my other class, last Tuesday he decided to give a fucking project that he made up on top of this fucking head. He said it is due at the end of the class. Even though we work in a group of 5, none of my teammate know anything about creating a database. I took lead and directed the whole project. At the end of class, that fucker decided to postpone it to Thursday (2 days from Tuesday) and we will have a presentation in PowerPoint. So i splited the work and it was just completed 5 mins before Thursday's class started. When we arrive on Thursday, that fucker asked us if we want a final today - open book, or on Tuesday (as planned) - no open book. Seriously, what kind of fucker he is. If it is open book, he should of told us to bring our books. Luckily i learn from my mistakes since this is not the first time that fucker said open book out of the blue. Most people didnt have their book, since he said we were going to present. So, there you have it, thats my point: CUNY Professors Suck ASS.

     I'm not sure if the Networking professor is going to give it to me. I'm pretty sure most people messed up on that question on the test. I guess there nothing i can do now. Anyways one more final (project) - VB.NET. I wondering if i should study for the CCNA this winter session. If not, i'll just be working at Lehman and not be productive. Actually there are tons of things i want to learn but thats not how things work. I kept loosing focus on one thing and turning to something else when i'm bored. For example, i'm watching a trainning video on VBscript - WSH and then after a few clips, i read about a new worm on the internet. I get fully distracted and can't find the motivation to continue watching the trainning videos.

     Finally!! Today will be my last day of finals. Sigh, i've been really busy with work and school. I feel i dont have time for anything, especially for certifications. I'm jealous when i see my fellow classmates working toward their CCNA cert, while i'm at Lehman wasting my time. I dont want to be reminded of this terrifying semester - working 40+ hrs at lehman and then managing 6 classes from Monday to Saturday, and worse of all, trying to pull another "4.0". Damn, i dont even know what i want to do yet. Should i be a Developer? Or maybe a Security analyst? Or maybe conform and work toward being a network engineer. What i really wanted at first was to go for my masters in forensics in computing, but it is a whole different field.

     I feel confident with being a developer because i know exactly what i want to do if i'm choose to be a developer. I would be developing ASP.NET pages with VB or C# language. I also have experience in the field since i worked 4 month at HRA developing their intranet page. At HRA, i learned C# all on my own and i also worked on some AJAX enhancement. It was nice working there because i was trusted. I was trusted with the production SQL server 2005 database. The project manager let me edit the production database which is critical it i fucked up. On top of that, i was a Teacher assistant for 2 sessions at CUNY graduate center in ASP.NET using VB language. The session lasted for a week each but it was intensive. I also went to a training session for ASP.NET using C# hosted by HRA. There we learned how to develop e-commerce pages. Yeah, so if i choose to become a developer i would know exactly what i will be doing. Then again, I would have to be competing with computer science majors employees, which have more programming background with C, C++, and java. On the other hand, they dont have shit experience in Visual Studio, which i have plenty of. But as they pick up on the IDE, i would be knocked out.

     For security, I have a lot of interest in it. I love reading articles on how hackers were able to penetrate security and how corporations are trying to prevent intrusions. This field is big, there are many titles for security and it is not narrow like developing. (at least for what i want and capable of doing). I work as a security analyst at Lehman. I cant really discuss what my job is like because it is confidential. LOL. I'm serious! Yea, so i dont really like it because i have to support end users. We have to basically tell end users that "No, you can not access this site because it poses a security risk" and stuff like that. We monitor both N-IDS (network based - Intrusion Detection Systems) and H-IDS (Host based - Intrusion Detection Systems). Working at Lehman is cool, because you'll get to work on state-of-the-art Technology. Yea, i love security, but not working to support end users. I can also work toward becoming a Security engineer. But i feel too much pressure. You'll be on call 24/7 and also, you'll be working with some "big" people in the firm. You basically need a lot of networking skills, programming skills, almost everything. Yeah, it requires the CISSP cert and that is not easy to get.

     Ha, time for lunch so no time to discuss my other choices. Yeah, have to go to school on saturday to do my networking final. I havent even study. I would say, i only study for 1 final out of 6. Yep, and i took it yesterday. Aite peace out... i'm hungary.
