The Cheesecake is Rich

I had a plan, back in June 2010. I was going to take a picture and post it on my blog on my last day at the old job, when I no longer had to call my old boss Gwen and my beloved friend The Almighty D. Anyway…back in those crazy days, D (she has [...]

WTF…!!! I am so fuckkkkkkking pissed off. So I finally called Former Boss Gwen. We had a loooovely chat about my new job and how things are going at my former employer. Last payroll, the new payroll clerk had a hard time of it because of technical issues with the files. It wasn’t anything I [...]

So, today was my first day at the new job. I think it’s going to be great. (Or maybe it’s just going to be OK). (But  I think it’ll be good). Good things about new employer/new job: 1) Employer has not filed for Chapter ANYTHING. In fact, if anything they have too much work! (Supposedly, [...]

or at least temporary unemployment. So, Wednesday was it. I got to work a little early and worked my ass off (seriously, I was in the middle of writing an insurance procedure at zero hour – never finished, btw) until Boss Gwen announced that lunch was ready. She had ordered a huge range of Chinese [...]

So tomorrow’s my last day at my current employer’s. Nearly 10 years, all finished. I cleaned out my personal stuff last week and brought it home yesterday (OK, it’s still in the back of the car but the car’s in the garage which is part of the house). I never thought I’d retire from my [...]

So, today was a very tough day. First, I had to Google “how to write a resignation letter” (and yes, I wrote it at work because I am classy that way). Then I had to write a resignation letter. Then I had to accept the job offer from yesterday – via voicemail – and then [...]

I was offered a job today. I have to answer them tomorrow. And I have no idea how I’m going to answer. Pros: 1) Company is in better financial shape than my current employer 2) Medical benefits are pretty much better (it’s high deductible, but the premium is entirely employer paid) 3) Commute is shorter [...]

I had an email from the company I interviewed with yesterday and Thursday. They wanted me to take some online personality tests as “the final portion of the interview process.” Hmm. What? I have no idea what to think, so I’m just going to hang out and wait to see what happens. Did I mention [...]

aaaaaaaargh. I’m not going to say the interview went poorly today but I will say that I am drinking a *VERY* large Cherry Pepsi Icee and this fact is the best thing that happened to me today. Other things that went better today than the interview: 1) Received 3 books from Bookmooch. (total # of [...]

Hear ye, hear ye: I think I might actually like my job. Who knew? Mahjobisnotsobaddis. So, I’m still in the endless pursuit of obtaining employment with a company not in the throes of a New Chapter (11). Today I had a job interview at a payroll outsourcer. I think it went well. I interviewed with [...]
