I emailed my boss asking if they were looking to save a specific amount over the next 17 weeks since I can run #s on various things and project ways to reach that. It seems to be just generalized pressure to get out more product and people at risk would not be me. Still.
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Maybe the specificity was to see if you'd made up information for jobs you didn't have. I personally find it more likely that you wouldn't remember specifics from a job 20 years ago than if you could say "Oh, yes, on Project XYZ I was able to get a 10% improvement on the performance of Sprocket Q in the Doomsday Process."
I swear he was surprised when I was just like, "I don't remember the details, but here is the gist...." Recruiters, man.

What a great idea!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's a good idea, msbelle!
Oh, right, recruiter. That changes my mental picture of the interview.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Sounds like he read an article on interview questions.

Punishingly Intricate
Yeah, sounds like he's maybe not a great recruiter.

It sounded a lot like that.
I'm sorry to go into excruciating detail here, but I was about to post on the Ask A Manager open thread but then got paranoid. So I was all revved up to talk about it, and you get the benefit(?)!

Office move scheduled for Oct 14! Only 3 more weeks and 28 extra miles of the stupid commute!

I feel like I have a better understanding of the world around me now, Jesse.
So I was whining to the air that I guessed I wouldn't do the National Cooking Day thing when the deadline hit and I hadn't settled on anything, and my cube-neighbor asked if that meant no more candied bacon, so I went ahead and put in my commitment to make the deviled eggs with candied bacon that I had made for the wedding shower. If my entry was too late, I'm sure my coworkers will eat them up for me.
IOmeN: I think I have decided not to go to Tai Chi practice tomorrow even though I have only been to one this month because I just do not want to leave the house all weekend.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I am reading and giving everyone my love and support but I have no spoons right now. I'm out of utensils.
I just do not want to leave the house all weekend.
Oh, I feel ya. I have to put on pants and a bra long enough to hit the pack-n-mail place, but otherwise I'm not going past my mailbox this weekend.

Nah, that definitely sounds more like trying to answer questions to verify your identity after your bank detects fraud.
It's only 2pm, and I don't feel like doing more work today. Of course, if I'm not working, then I probably should go through another module in my online class at Stanford, but it's dryyyy. This professional certification needs more dinosaurs or volcanoes.
