Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 81: Trickle-Down Lodganomics

Taking lunch for the first time since last Monday. Heard a rumor that I might be getting a call from BU today, which would certainly make life a smidgen better. *fingers, toes, eyes, legs crossed*

Did your boss talk to you yet??

So the FAA has narrowed it to 2 states to apply to. After discussing this with a friend and finding out Centers are hurting (and I don't want to go to a Center)I need to come up with a state other then North Dakota (Minnesota, Illinois, Colorado, and Texas are all off)....sadly, Wisconsin is looking like a decent candidate (I've heard Milwaukee is hiring quite a few new controllers), as is Kentucky (Cincinnatti Tower is hiring 10 from what I've heard)...

Nope and now everyone is avoiding me.


Moderately related: What's the rule on two weeks' notice if you're not planning to ever mention to anyone, ever, that you worked at the place you're leaving?

Tell the boss to stick it up his *** and leave. That's my rule.

I'm volunteering with meals on wheels today, for the first time. I'm looking forward to it, since I've heard many good things about the program from people in the lodge and from others.

Well done! I do it at least once a month and really enjoy it.

I just got back and I enjoyed it. I am planning on volunteering more with meals on wheels, hopefully once a month.

Great to hear. I'm looking to get back into volunteering with them, though I haven't heard anything since I filed my application more than a month ago.

Off to some interviews....

Good luck, both of you!

Off to search for a better job...

Why? If it's beautiful and/or meaningful, who cares where it came from?

If it was sold in the State Fair grandstand, it's almost certainly not going to fall into the "beautiful" category.

Good luck to all the job seekers, except if you're applying to something I've also applied for

Agreed - they're treating you like *, may as well return the favor. Especially if you can cripple their company for a few days.

I always figured that had more to do with the last paycheck... but I'm not going to act like I know for sure.

Yeah, that was kinda what I was implying

Though, I would call the Justin Morneau signed baseball that was winning run from his HR derby win over Hamilton quite beautiful, and that was for sale within the grandstand...

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 81: Trickle-Down Lodganomics

Sorry for the late response, but this idea just came to me when I was standing at the urinal.

Are you referencing your dick here or biddco's?

Someone should ask MEg!

I'm sure she's biased by now...
...before I started going out with my gf, she asked MEg about this, and apparently MEg's response was "you won't be disappointed"
I want to officially thank MEg for the props

Act with class, even if the other side does not. Agree with MNS. You could however use this as a practice session and ask when the boss intends to tell you what is going on (in an innocent sort of way) because you have been hearing things you sure are not true of her

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 81: Trickle-Down Lodganomics

What type of history are you teaching in particular, or don't you know yet?

What are you teaching?

I'll probably start with either the freshman "World History" course (which, believe it or not, covers everything in one semester - Cave Men to the Cold War), or the freshman Military History course (which probably has a Western focus: Greece/Rome/European/American). After the first year I'll be given additional courses.

History...same thing Ben Affleck studied at Harvard

Ben Affleck went to Harvard? That school just sunk even lower in my book!

Put my 6 year old Scottish terrier down yesterday morning. He had been suffering from liver and intestinal cancer. It finally got to the point yesterday when his quality of life was no longer acceptable. Hardest thing I've ever done.

It's amazing how close one can get to a pet, and how hard it is to focus only on the good memories and not the current pain. Good luck.

Oh, mine are, too. It's been 24 years of it. The latest round goes as follows...my mother's reaction? "Seriously? Have you sent out any resumes yet? You know you still owe me money."

I have sympathy for you here. I remember the very moment most of my troubles with my parents ended: when I told them (politely, at first) to stop offering unsolicited advice. They ask first now, and it's much better.

So the FAA has narrowed it to 2 states to apply to. After discussing this with a friend and finding out Centers are hurting (and I don't want to go to a Center)I need to come up with a state other then North Dakota (Minnesota, Illinois, Colorado, and Texas are all off)....sadly, Wisconsin is looking like a decent candidate (I've heard Milwaukee is hiring quite a few new controllers), as is Kentucky (Cincinnatti Tower is hiring 10 from what I've heard)...

Why is a Center a bad deal? Is the work a lot different? With a Center, maybe you could get Minneapolis, or better yet: Denver! Fort Worth would also be a good one.

I'm with Hammer and BPH. Or you could do something like they did Office Space. If the computer virus is beyond your capability, at least steal the printer (the one that keeps giving the "PC Loadletter" error message) and bash it apart.

There is no depth in that World History course I take it? Wow. The Military History course sounds interesting.

Totally random here, but:

I ended up only taking one History course in college. History of Science. It stands today as the most interesting class I've ever taken.

No call today, but the contact says that the call is coming tomorrow (they didn't call anyone today). Also, they're definitely looking for a woman for this position.

Yeah, uh-huh, sure......

Hey, now! I can behave...sometimes...

He didn't, he went to UVM for a year. Or a semester. Or something. Matt Damon went to Harvard.
