That's a thoughtful policy. But I have no one IRL to gush with!
Good luck with the getting hired business, I hope it doesn't get too ridiculous.

One of the networks in my building is called CaptainReynolds. How do I find out who this person is?
I have no tips, but you definitely need to find them.
I made a friend once because I had iTunes sharing on in my college dormitory. My iTunes network was just my name, and I got a message on Facebook that essentially said "are you the girl with all the showtunes on her iTunes?" and BAM. New friend.

I have taken 2 tests, applied for my job, and provided my current boss as a reference. They can't find my scores, but that's ok, because one of them was the wrong test because after evaluating the position from the description of the job posting my boss pretty much wrote to match my job, they reclassified the position.
However, I will say, I mostly haven't had to navigate this alone. My boss and a couple of my senior coworkers have been amazing advocates.

Name a network Yo-Saff-Bridge and see if s/he finds you?

And now I have to go. Hope to see y'all sooner rather than later.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Yay, Daisy!
I put in a request for quote at the dealership on a camaro, just in case it all goes south.
And you will let me know what number they come back with, correct? I want to make sure they're actually giving you a deal. I will also get you the supplier discount certificate, which can be used with existing consumer rebates, and promotional financing, though I won't be able to get that to you until Monday at the earliest.
I don't have anything for you yet, but I know they're still working on it. If I don't have anything by Monday morning, I'll follow up.
(Good lord, it's been a day.)

I think Maria should start a business as a car ombudsman. I would have paid to sic her on a dealership my mother had trouble with.

Heh, Ginger. It's been part of my job duties for the last 10 years. I have no issues running roughshod over dealers who don't give a rat's ass about customer service.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
So if I am working with a product that gives me a list of 16 patents, but two of the patents on the list are duplicates of two other patents on the list, and then I discover that the list decided not to include the two patents from India on the list, there should still be 16 patents total, right?
