Happy birthday, EpicTangent!!!!
Congrats on your first year together-in-one-place, Daniel and WindSparrow!
But you can't pretend to be a dragon with just vinegar, can you?
Of course not, you also need baking soda.
Or am I confusing volcanos and dragons again?
Hey, if I'm in thrall to June do I get some pink leather pants? Not that I could wear them right now because June is rather warm for leather wearing...maybe I'll arrange to be in thrall to, say, November.
Hope everyone's varying levels of grinding suckage stop sucking so much, or at least do not get worse.
I'm going to pick up my grandmother's vanity today. Yay!
June often is lame.
I say, as one who was born in the month.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY EPIC TANGENT!!
And belateds to Askye and the rest of you who I am spacing on.
And TWO DAYS until STEPHL DAY!
Can someone remove my throat for me? It's being a pain in, well, the neck.
I've hit my first stats snag. I don't understand why the text shows you how to determine class widths but then asks you to do a frequency distribution graph with a pre-determined class width that isn't the same as the class width I got when using the formula that they provided.
Dude, I sound all mathy and shit.
Oh, and happy birthday to the birthday peeps!
Happy Birthday, Epic!
GC, I understood every individual word in your mathy post, but the combination was completely mystifying to me. Much luck in getting the stats to do what you want them to do.
Dude. Let the body cool a bit, would ya?
They've interviewed someone for my position. On Monday. Which, normally, I'd have no problem with, really. Yeah, it hurts, but oh well. I'm leaving, I made that choice, I accept it.
But the person is from the Ops Director old building. And that irritates me. Why? For a number of reasons.
1) The OD has fired 2 people in the engineering department in order to replace them with people from his old building, has fired someone in janitorial to replace them with someone from his old building, replaced the Asst OD with his old assistant from his old building, brought in 3 new engineers from his old building, and had our office change a lot of the procedures to how they were in his old building. Why did he leave? If it was all that, why did he leave? I mean, he brought in this new Ops Assistant and she hasn't even bothered to get to know the rest of us or even to fit in. She doesn't talk to us. At first, we thought, well, maybe she's just quiet. But, nope. She talks like a bandit if A) someone from the old building comes in or B) she's talking to a manager.
All of this crap is a pretty big part of why I'm leaving. The people who were here from the moment the building was purchased are treated like piles of dogshit, while the people that come directly from our main competitor (and our CEO's former partner) are treated with kid gloves and given anything they want.
I'm leaving and I shouldn't care, but I've spent three + years of my life here. I can't help but care that the people I', leaving behind hate it just as much as I do.
Blah.
Ok. It's just the one reason.
Not only is it a number, it's the loneliest.
The loneliest, from what I hear.
