Anya ,'Showtime'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
And yep, Tep, Hec was right--it's a lovely place full of lovely people, but I'm still in the same division with the same title; they played musical chairs with us without giving anyone a boost, and made it clear that no raises would be forthcoming for the next, well, ever.
Well, getting away from Rage Nurse had to be good for your mental health, but getting a higher salary and more edit-y stuff would be good for you and more in line with what you want to do. Good luck!
Fingers crossed for JZ's new venture.
Yay for ita's bonus. May it be enjoyably big.
When I worked for Physicians for Social Responsibility (working to keep us all safe from nuclear dangers), a new accountant came on board wearing really nice suits. A few months later, the FBI showed up. Apparently, this gem had stolen multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Blind Veterans of America. Not just vets who sacrificed for their country, but vets who lost their vision as a result.
Special circle, Dude. Special circle.
Special circle, Dude. Special circle.
Fuck circle, that guy gets the Octagon of Sharp Corners.
Well, I just wrote an embarrassing email to my IT director (thank Dog we have an excellent relationship) explaining that I lied* to him earlier today about my progress. That was fun.
(*I sat here staring at the word "lied" in my composed email for a long time and finally changed it to "misrepresented".)
ETA: "embarrassing" is one of those words that looks incorrectly spelled no matter what I do.
Ugh, javachik. I hope it turns out well
I want a Vlad!
"My" Vlad is pretty nifty--he has a slight accent, and drives a cool old school mustang on rainy days and a cool motorcycle the rest of the time.
I suspect "my" Michael's real first name is not Michael. I wonder if it's cool. Maybe it's Otto. I don't know why I think that. But I would totally take accented surfing Otto if I couldn't get a Vlad.
Timelies all!
For my onerous task, I tackled the pile of stuff on my computer desk. Divided it into stuff to go elsewhere, stuff to be thrown out and stuff to remain on the desk. Much less stuff now in the third group...
(ETA left-out words)
I have no Vlad. Sad now.
Yay bonus, ita!
Yikes, java. But it sounds like you're doing as much as you can.
If you are applying for a job which requires grammar and proofreading skills, why might this NOT help you: "I have always had an extensive vocabulary, and have a natural aptitude of the English language. I am also a very skilled typer and am very advanced with computers." Cover letter FAIL.
