Don't bother, I already told them

10/6/2008 11:59:02 AM

haha jk. i don't even know you (not that i would if i did know you).

10/6/2008 12:00:22 PM

Jeez, I hope I have this problem next year. I'm super worried, with the economy and the field I am in, that I am going to have to take a job that I'm way overqualified for (and pays shit) until something that I am qualified/interested for opens up...

Damn financial industry...

10/6/2008 12:52:50 PM

I've gotta say though....I'm totally gonna miss looking at the receptionist's amazing rack every day. She's worn nothing but skin tight shirts since I started last month.

10/6/2008 1:20:40 PM

you single? if so drop her a line, can't really hurt now can it?

10/6/2008 1:53:01 PM

busted grill piece

So I probably have a shot

"People saying "bad form" are fucking stupid"

yeah, agreeing to work somewhere and then saying "LOL JUST KIDDING!" really benefits what people think about you



I even said he should go with B, but having a policy of committing to an original job offer doesn't make me "fucking stupid"

WHAT ABOUT 90 DAY PROBATIONARY PERIOD (ABLE TO CANCEL AT A DAY'S NOTICE ON EITHER SIDE) DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH?

10/6/2008 2:08:08 PM

HEY, AT LEAST YOU DIDN'T SAY "EXCEPT ANOTHER JOB OFFER?" THAT PRETTY MUCH PUTS YOU IN THE TOP 2 PERCENTILE FOR TWW SPELLING.

I never said I had a problem with it, I even told you to go with B.

But I'm not "fucking stupid" for saying I probably wouldn'tve done that.

10/6/2008 2:12:04 PM

agreed, you are not.

10/6/2008 2:12:59 PM

Oh, and receptionist has a kid

10/6/2008 3:55:41 PM

your odds are going way up.

10/6/2008 4:08:57 PM

especially if you tell her you're leaving for more money, b. i bet you can hit it, just make sure to wrap it up and keep it jungle.

10/6/2008 4:58:09 PM

I'm late to the party...

But I hope you've already chosen B.

10/6/2008 7:03:29 PM

going to get drug tested today, wahooo.

10/7/2008 12:28:30 PM

hope you studied

10/7/2008 12:29:27 PM

well shit I just realized I've been drinking too much water this morning and my pee's pretty clear. are they not gonna accept that at Lab Corp?

10/7/2008 12:32:46 PM

doesn't matter what it looks like

10/7/2008 12:33:31 PM

passed the drug test (as expected, I'm clean) and I'm all set to start.

now how do I gracefully quit today? I was going to start with going out to lunch with the person thats been training me since I started here and tell her first. But she just told me she can't afford to go out to lunch so thats out the window. Ack.

10/10/2008 8:27:34 AM

jump up on the desks and kick the monitors off of them, tell everyone to fuck off, then play babaloo on on the receptionists titties before strutting out

i think that's classy

10/10/2008 8:38:50 AM

^^offer to buy her lunch if you still want to do that plan?

10/10/2008 8:40:20 AM

^^LMAO

^no can do, I'm pretty broke myself and shouldn't have been going out for lunch either

10/10/2008 8:42:34 AM

ah, gotcha

i know the feelin

10/10/2008 8:45:51 AM

I'm about to go look for the company owner.


...a little nervous about this.

10/10/2008 12:34:01 PM

Go Office Space style and cut open a raw fish on your desk and play some Tetris... then tell your boss to fuck off and go have lunch with the Bob's.

Or just take a leak on your boss' door.

10/10/2008 12:37:08 PM

LOL

well I've been on Gchat and Facebook all morning long, and listening to streaming internet radio. Both things specifically listed as against company policy.

Yes, I know I'm a rebel. Just gonna wait till 1pm to go approach the owner.

10/10/2008 12:39:54 PM

my piece of advice would be to be as nice and cordial as possible. Explain the situation to them somewhat. There is no reason to burn bridges... maybe they will have a higher position one day that you could come back to if you have the connections

10/10/2008 12:48:51 PM

my suggestion is to drink some beers tonight to celebrate

10/10/2008 1:07:53 PM

And its done. Owner was really nice about it and regretful that I'm leaving.

10/10/2008 1:09:03 PM

I can't go on TWW at my new job

10/13/2008 6:43:01 PM

you'll soon learn to do it on your phone

10/13/2008 6:43:45 PM

B

you havent been there 90 days, so fuck it

never even have to mention working there

10/13/2008 6:49:17 PM

^Thanks. Yeah I quit Friday and started new job today.

10/13/2008 6:50:22 PM

Go with B, but make sure you can get TWW first.

10/13/2008 6:51:44 PM

cool, i quit reading after like 25 posts

10/13/2008 6:52:49 PM

So plz2update in like 2 weeks when you hate your new job way worse than the old one and realize that money and benefits aren't nearly as awesome as a quality enjoyable job...

I kid mostly... but I would like to hear if company B was truly better

10/13/2008 7:00:29 PM

bow chicka wow wow

10/13/2008 7:09:22 PM

brown chicken brown cowwwww

Congrats first of all, Pat.

The way I see it: The company you're with now would drop your ass in a heartbeat if it served their purposes. Drop them when it serves yours.

Hilarious upshot from this: a certain materialistic bitch is probably fretting over that Pat-bankroll she missin' out on now

10/13/2008 7:16:06 PM

Thanks man, I appreciate that! I hope things are going well for you up in the Rust Belt. And yes, there's probably an upshot. This company's going nowhere but up. 20% increase in profit last year. Energy management FTW.

I'll be sure to do that. The interest to me is pretty equal between companies, so its really all about how enjoyable they make it and how good the earning potential is.
