Still angry, can't get to sleep.
Thanks for validation. I think I'm going to start my own documentation and communicate with my boss proactively. I'm going to ask E first thing what she wants to have achieved by the end of the day and if we have a timeline for finishing the job. Trying to model how I'd like things to be, communication-wise.
Connie, I'm so glad they took his concerns seriously.
Connie, that might be the sort of thing the state's AG might want to know about. That could lead to a delightfully public thrashing of the greedy bastards who sell that kind of information.
smonster, that sounds like an excellent approach. If E is in charge of things, that is the sort of information she should be providing without prompting. Not doing so is shitty management on her part.
A delightful public thrashing of greedy bastards
is
invigorating!
Oh Connie, that's so terrible.
I actually just read an article about this in the New Yorker. There's something called life stage marketing where they use data mining to identify when people are going through major life changes and market directly to them. It came to light because a man received a flyer in the mail from Office Max addressed to his name/daughter died in car accident/or occupant. It's horrible.

Just got asked for another interview. I seem to be popular with the Catholic universities this year.
the Catholic universities or The Catholic University?
A little stent-ma for my father would be appreciated, as he is in hospital for that surgery today.
the Catholic universities or The Catholic University?
The first one. CUA hasn't posted any ads for math people this year, that I've seen. But I've gotten two interviews from Jesuit universities, and now one from a Catholic one that's not Jesuit.
Jesuits can be cool. Very respectful of learning and science. If I recall correctly, it was actually a Jesuit priest who first postulated the Big Bang.
They also tend to have good booze.
Yeah, the Jesuits of my acquaintance have been scary smart and love their booze.
Continued job~ma, Hil. I really hope you find something you love in an area that has more amenities than your current location has.
Grr. My medical equipment supplier is saying they haven't been reimbursed by my insurance company in nearly 2 years. My insurance company is saying that is not true. And meanwhile I just need my medical supplies and soon.
