Cordelia ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Wow. I just got a call from a place where I'd sent in a job application. It was the perkiest rejection ever! "I just wanted to call and personally thank you for applying! Keep an eye out here for other opportunities!" Really? I just wanted to personally spit in your face, random HR person! Keep an eye out for contagion vectors!
Do HR people really think that sounding like not hiring me makes this the best day ever is helpful? It's not helpful.
They just want to avoid having you come after them with weaponry. Perkiness is probably not the route to take, in that case.
Calli--speaking as an HR person, we don't ask people to keep an eye out for opening at out company unless they were impressive and we are actually interested.
You all know my drama with estates after Rob's death. I had a will that was good in MD, but now that I'm in PA, I have to redo it. I should get on that....
Omg why do I have to be at work!
Why do I have to take a training class in Human Trafficking? I did this a year ago and was not yet over the trauma. For once my employer designed a training well enough to engage you and it's the really, truly upsetting one.
Being executor sucks but that's because I find so much of it is beyond my skill set. Like taking care of corporate taxes? Not something I'm good at. Oh well.
One of the things we established yesterday is that while I am the named primary executor, if I decline my sister will be assigned, and if she declines there's a professional fiduciary who will step in. Which is a relief. I think things will actually be pretty simple but I am glad there are plans b and c in place.

Yeah, I really hope my super sincere rejection emails along those lines (always emails!) are actually read and received. I really think you could work here! Not in this position!

Yeah, I'm fine with those comments in email. But the sound of high cheer in her voice grated like hell on my 4 months of unemployment. Don't phone me and make me be civil about my rejection. Send an email so I can weep in private.
ETA: It is nice to know they're not just blowing smoke about checking back, though. Thanks!
