people will be quitting in the next few weeks due to anger over the low bonuses.
Boo fucking hoo.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
ugh, megan
I am shocked to learn that not only did I sleep through an earthquake this morning, so did my kids. Shocking!
Oh Kat, thank you! I have emailed you my wants. I may go back and add a good blue, but that's because I am clearly CRAZY.

I'm sorry, megan - I hope that some other opportunity presents itself quickly so you can get out from that toxic environment.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
msbelle, are those people aware of the unemployment rate?

Also, avoid porn at work.
I really can't, although this week has been light on the porn so far. I think it's well established that I'm no prude, but I had to look at waaay too many naked people last week.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
oh, megan. Those people suck and are stupid.
Sophia, fire her ass. Sometimes you shouldn't be avoidant.
Couldn't agree with this more. And, she needs to learn you can't "work" like that and keep a job. Now, while she's a student, will be easier to deal with.
JZ, apply! And, while I know you have the ability to do the porn at work, that may be best to avoid.

Sophia, lots of places I've worked have had a policy that a certain number of no-shows constituted a voluntary quit. Might be worth looking into. Then if she does show up you can just be all "oh, sorry, thought you quit, can't help you."

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Yeah, I think these people know what they can get as consultants right now and it is more and also more flexible than here, at least that is what I am hearing. A couple of people I think are considering going back to school for advanced degrees also.

Ugh. I didn't get the position. I don't even know what to think at this point.
Aww, fuck 'em! What's with all hint dropping and bullshit then.
They better have a better position lined up for you, because they've seriously been stringing you along.
