You guys, Pumpkin just stalked a sand cat stalking bugs on tv.

I'm sorry about all the job woes. I'm really working on getting out of the really negative headspace the past couple of years under CompletelySuckingCompany and work crisis mode since spring, but it is hard. I've always been the dept eyeore, but I got seriously dark and I need to check that.

Apparently when you do something and nothing goes wrong, nobody notices. Blah blah branding and visibility blah blah.

It sounds like they're encouraging you to make mistakes and be loud.

Uhg. TFW a really good friend has applied for jobs you are on the interview crew for and you know she didn't make the shortlist because she's not in your schedule. And you wonder if HR has blacklisted her despite being really accommodating in the layoff.

aurelia makes a good point.

Mmm, pork shoulder. Oh, hey, I impulse bought a spiral-sliced ham yesterday, so I have that nom to look forward to.

I seem to have talked myself out of going to class tonight. I just don't want to make the drive. If the start the Tiger tonight I will be bummed, because the beginning is the part I don't know. Or the Deer, which I don't know at all. But I'm still at work because if I stop what I'm doing now I will never figure out what I was thinking tomorrow.

Oh, ugh, sarameg. What a terrible position to be in!

Yeah. There are several position with the same description, and some haven't opened interviews yet, but if all candidates are equally good, the pretty much line up for top pick for the next spot in the queue. And on paper, these folks are impressive. I'm a little intimidated and they'd be paralleling my position but junior grades. I'd be training some of them.

I'm hoping she shortlisted later postings, and they didn't include me at all because our friendship is well known (I saw her give birth, fergawdsake.) But I don't know.

I have the baseball game paused because DH is on a work break. This calls for more wine, which may not be that great an idea since I have been brainless all day.

Ugh sarameg, not fun.

FYI, I am posting a lot because I am working on designing a report, and every time I make a change I have to wait a couple minutes for the system to show me the new screen.

Ugh, that does suck, sara. Let's hope they kept you off the list with her on it.

Hey -t, when do you have sales at your job? Although I think the thing I wanted was $10, so I should probably just buy it.
