Now that I’ve re-arrived in Singapore, I’m back to work at the Atrium@Orchard office – 60B Orchard Rd.
Thankfully, 10 August was the national observance of National Day (9 August), so I had a spare day to recover before needing my brain to be in gear

on the prowl for employment
Wednesday, March 25, 2009
I found out a little over a month ago I was going to be laid-off from Hewlett Packard as part of their “Workforce Reduction”. Thankfully, HP gives folks who have been elected for WFR both some warning and some assistance in finding a new position within the company if there’re any available.
Through the last few [...]
on the bench
Tuesday, January 13, 2009
Typically I travel ~80% of the time. That normally means I’m out of the house Mo-Th or sometimes Mo-Fr.
Due to traveling so much, I am frequently not in the state, because I go places on the weekends.
However, with the start of the year being a typically slow time, I get to work from home for [...]
i’m a s.w.a.t. member
Thursday, October 9, 2008
I thought I was a helicopter parent, but I’m not.
What I do for a living, currently, is like being a SWAT team member – except instead of it being a team, it tends towards the commando.
I provide onsite installation, support, and extension of the server management suite my company offers. That means that I spend [...]
retirement party
Wednesday, September 3, 2008
My goal is to retire by the end of the year. To make sure I reach that goal, I’m requesting donations from friends, family, coworkers, acquaintances, and outright strangers.
If you’d like to contribute to my retirement fund, please send me an email: retire@warrenmyers.com. Donations of any size are accepted, but I don’t give tax receipts.
My [...]

I’ve been assigned to one customer in Atlanta for 6 straight weeks.
I spent the first couple weeks awaiting servers and other items on their side.
Then I spent some time doing installs… while still waiting for more hardware to be readied.
I’m looking forward to going to a different customer next week, and a different one the [...]
i love traveling

I hate not being home.
I travel for a living now, performing site installations, upgrades, customizations, and on-site support for our customers. The travel’s a blast – see new places, try new food, drive different car. But not being home except weekends does kinda cut into one’s social activities.
At this point, I wouldn’t trade the type [...]
queuing the next generation
Thursday, May 8, 2008
Like many people, I work for an under-staffed segment of a remarkably under-staffed company.
Before transitioning to professional services, I worked for support, and they are even more under-staffed.
I see a simple solution to this problem, but the company is too short-sighted to implement anything like this, sadly.
Problem: We need new people. Desperately. Especially in support, [...]
jersey city
This week I have the pleasure of working in Jersey City.
No, that’s not sarcasm. Getting the PATH from my hotel in Manhattan to work is a cinch, and cheaper than taking the subway anywhere (fares on the subway are $2.25; the PATH is $1.75).
It would’ve been nice to be at the hotel across from work [...]
