Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

They have 30 odd buildings on it, with thousands and thousands of employees.

Yowza. That's so far beyond anything I've ever experienced, I can't even tell you. I've never worked anywhere with more than a few hundred employees, and that was spread over the city. My current place has like 65, nationwide.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Please someone get that....

Sorry, I don't. Maybe only people who suck do.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I suck, I don't get it.

eta: Heh, sucky xpostage.

t edit In fact, I think that calls for a new tag....

t edit again I think Boo Creepy Foot Doctor ranks right up there with the Nextel Dancing Guys commercial in my category of Always Funny To Teppy.

Oh that is just wrong, wrong, wrong and a side of wrong. Thanks for the link! (I think)

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

I worked for a private-sector company that had 200K+ employees (3M). Great(-ish) campus. Freedom to spend 20% of your time 'exploring' -- as long as it didn't impact your deadlines, or muck with the anyone's Gantt chart. Which is to say: No 'exploring'.

The money and hours sucked, but the admins seemed to be happy(-ish). They didn't seem to care if a product shipped or not.

I'm just not sure I could live that way.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Secretarial work makes me miserable, but I am not my job. It's hella secure, pays well enough that if I wasn't such a financial moron I'd have a way better savings account and nicer clothes, and the benefits are pretty generous.

I think an administrative job at a university would be great, msbelle. Plus, free college for mac down the line. Plus, once you're in, you can apply for all sorts of other jobs, take classes, all sorts of good stuff. The TIAA CREF retirement package is pretty nice, too. Plus, summers off.

Education discounts on computers and software is pretty good, too.
