The more I know...

The less confident I am in that I will be able to get my work done on time. On my first day my co-worker, the only other Java developer, quit. Her last day was today. It was for personal family problems, and I wish her all the best, but I am getting more and more scared. I have never built a J2EE app before, in an IDE that I have not used, working on a project where nothing has been done. One of the good things about this is that I will be free to do test driven development. *sigh* And nothing is set up yet, not source control, not build / test envs, nothing. Anybody know someone that has tons of J2EE dev experience that is looking for a job?

On another note, Laura and I are planning to go see some naked ladies soon in a show. I think that it will be great. ;-) I love concert adventures. Anyone else want to go? Let me know asap, 'cause I will most likely be buying tickets next monday when they go on sale. I just hope that it is not blocked at work, or that the ticket thingy isn't using some weird port (like when we tried to order Pizza Pizza from school). [aside: Ahhgggh! I hate flash!]

I had better get to bed... I have to set an earlier bed time for myself... this just isn't working anymore.

  3. How did you get a job that requires knowledge in J2EE, and you have not developed in J2EE before?
    Seems like they should have hired the other people who knew their stuff.

  4. Ah, but MY position did not require knowledge of J2EE, but the willingness to learn quickly. I have a fair experience in java and I was also hired by how much I would "work with others". I am in a junior role. The person with more experience just quit...
    It's not like I lied about my experience. And their reasons for hiring me are their own.

  5. Ryan: btw, I did pass along your and Peter's resume (the only ones that I had at the time).
    We'll see what happens.
