Go to Dept.B will give me more motivation, because that girl I like is in Dept.B. But, I have a little worried about, the love between us may affect our work. :( Thanks for your reply. :rose:

Thats silly, Im talking about motivation for the work. If you go to Dept B and she is not interested in you what are you going to do then?

Yes. I had that happen to me a couple of times -- requests for fixing computers so that they can play computer game comes up at odd hours :). The odd hour requests were never about the work though. Thomas

Ditch department B. If you were married to her they wouldn't allow it and since you aren't don't make a dumb decision. Besides if you both work in different areas you will have more to talk about than if you worked in the same place. I don't know about anyone else but when I first met my wife all I could think about was her and if I had needed to write software (during that time) while in her proximity I would have gotten nothing done. I'd probably have installed about 500 web cams:-O and that would have been right before they fired me.

Choice A: 1, Learn a new program language - Java, I am familiar with MS languages, like C++, C#, VB, ASP.NET, but know little about Java. 2, If I want to stay in department A, I have to learn Java. Choice B: 1, Go to department B, because the languages department B used are MS languages. 2, But the manager of department B is a narrow guy, so you know... Which one will you choose if you were me?:)
I'd go for A based upon what you've said. Java isn't going anywhere any time soon. It's a popular language especially for middleware and it should pan out for you. If your .Net skills are good I'd really recommend A. Nothing like strengthening a strong skill with another unrelated skill.

Now I like in Kunming China. So I like the verse "天气常如二三月，花技不断四时春。". And I'm so sorry to use the word "amour". My English is to poor. "love in office" is a great hundred cute than "amour".

It's my quote but I don't know if it's ever been used by others. I coined it off a "eat to live" bumper-sticker and all I could think of was the quote you are asking about. My clients call me on Sunday afternoons at 10:00PM at night. They call all the time and want the dumbest things off-hours. It would be one thing if a critical system was down but that never has happened yet. So that's my quote and my life at times.:sigh:

I think the problem is that I'm way to relaxed with my current customers and they just *feel* like it's fine to do. I've really modified my candor with all new business and while I'm still myself I'm not nearly as open about things. I arrive, I meet, we talk, we plan and then I leave. I don't stay to chat under any context. I get the scope and I boogie out. That seems to be the difference maker.

At the end of the day what matters more than language, managers, co workers, etc etc is your interest in the project. Managers come and go, most OO languages are really just an abstraction of the same old ideas. Pick the one that you think will give you the motivation to get out of bed on friday mornings.

I work with my girlfriend and there are a bunch of other married and co-habiting partners at work. Work doesn't actively encourage it but so long as we don't make it an issue they don't make it an issue. They wouldn't make decisions based on it for one.

What kind of Java development? Seriously, it makes a difference. Java is a fine language but there is a lot more to Java development than just the language. If you get stuck in an EJB, J2EE situation then you might regret it. At work I face a similar situation (no narrow bosses though) and I have had to fight to make sure that we use Java smartly. In this case GRails and Groovy for web-dev.

I think you should go to department B. As I think you might be good enough MS languages so you can proove your self better in that field. As well as impress her ;). And that manager why you taking him much seriously. Just ignor him through ur heart and you be the happy. And ya learning java is also a good thing but for that you need some time.

If you know C# you will pick up Java very quickly (as they are not too far from identical). As others have said and will say it will take time to get to expert standard. I'm no Java programmer, but armed with a solid handle on C# and my trusty "Java 2 Complete", I have taken on and completed Java projects to a standard where I have got return work. If you like manager A then I'd say your not in for that much of a learning curve. HTH

Well break it down: Choice A: Learn a new language that is not in your comfort zone Choice B: Emotional intrigue from above and inside the department.
I would look at it as a chance to learn a new language that will give me insight to my favorite subject, programming. When you learn a new language, it gives you insights to the underlining ideas that govern all coding languages. The interaction between your code to the hardware and/or OS becomes clearer and clearer the more that you use other languages as well as your own preferred platform. Each language has standard techniques which can usually be applied to another language, giving you more tools to solve unique problems. As for the girl, just start a conversation with her, get to know her and start meeting her for lunch.
