Brain Fog

Posted on | April 25, 2005 | 1 Comment

I used to work a lot with PERL, I love PERL – but I haven’t used it much lately and I am way rusty.
The company I did my most intensive PERL work for just contacted me today for some help. They had me come in for some contract work about 3 years ago and I was rusty at that point, now I am way under par. They also work in Linux, which I haven’t gotten near since the last time I worked for them – so that is somewhere else my skills are lacking.
I would love to go in and help them out – I liked working for the company and I love the $$$ they would send my way. Unfortunately, having clarified what it is they need to have done, I don’t think I am up to the task. If they were to hire me for a long term project, I would jump at it. What they need is someone who can get in, get it done and get out. I would take far too long to get back up to speed.

    You are WAY too harsh on yourself! You do excellent work and whenever you are faced with a difficult problem, you always find the answer. So it takes a little while, that happens to the best of them at times. But you are like a bulldog when you get your mind set, and until you come up with a solution. You have your books…GO FOR IT!! Just don’t be away TOO long!!
