I've got tomorrow off, as long as this developer gives me the data load I need in order to implement on this production database before 5pm today. Something tells me expecting a programmer to complete a task on time is a little naive.

^^ I hope you don't lose your job, you seem to really like it.

No no, like.. these guys perk up and go outside the door to make catcalls when they hear stillettos click clacking down the hallway.

^^ I'd be bummed, but it's an opportunity to do something more exciting. It's such a pain to move to a new city. though. Any big plans for your Friday off?

^ LOL. Never been in an office like that. My only prob is with creepy strangers at work sending me disturbing personal emails that have to be forwarded to HR. I'm a weirdo magnet at work.

it's already noon

hurrah?

11/19/2009 11:57:55 AM

Friday will consist of cleaning up the apartment, doing laundry, relaxing, cooking a little, and perhaps poker later with friends off Trailwood (5 dollar buy-in).

11/19/2009 12:00:25 PM

11/19/2009 12:04:05 PM

LUCKY! What are you cooking?

I work all day and then drive to NC. Woo woo.



Uh oh ... I'm getting a roommate! w00t!

11/19/2009 12:05:16 PM

I'm going to send you disturbing personal PMs.

11/19/2009 12:06:52 PM

^ Dude, that p33n pic was NOT necessary.

11/19/2009 12:08:03 PM

really? i actually thought it was kinda cute.

11/19/2009 12:08:46 PM

It did make me giggle.

11/19/2009 12:10:55 PM

quick question TWWers...

isn't the rule of a resume that you only add to a job description new skills learned? so while at my first job I have tasks ABC that I did...while I also did them at my second I don't put ABC, but add new skills DEF?

11/19/2009 12:12:28 PM

that sounds right, but I would probably put a line in there that you continued doing ABC in job #2 just to show that you have lots of experience in it and didnt stop doing it after the first job

unless they arent the most desirable jobs to do or skills to have (making copies, etc.)

you need to generally show a progression of skills and responsibilities, assuming this is a career-track resume that you wish to create. if i'm a hiring manager, i'm going to look to see that a person shows some ambition, and showing a natural progression of responsibilities is a great way to do it.

however, depending on the type of job you're applying for, you should also look at having an alternate resume, which shows years of experience performing some tasks. some jobs require consistency moreso than ambition.

11/19/2009 12:20:58 PM

haha, I'm AWESOME at making copies though


but...another note. WHAT THE FUCK! My separation from employment letter said they would cover my insurance until November 30th, but I find out today they cancelled it on Oct 31st. I had a doctor's appt yesterday! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

this better get fixed...pronto!

11/19/2009 12:29:12 PM

11/19/2009 12:39:39 PM

^^ that would be a good reason to go back to them and yell really loudly. you have that shit on paper.

I already left a message with the woman that handles the benefits. If it can't be resolved with a simple phone call to BCBS on their part, I'm mailing them my doctor bill when it comes in and a copy of this letter.

11/19/2009 12:47:35 PM

word, good luck.

11/19/2009 12:50:56 PM

thanks.

I just made 3 copies of this letter as well

11/19/2009 12:52:53 PM

11/19/2009 1:27:17 PM

why are we not facebook friends

11/19/2009 1:27:33 PM

one of those days where it seems like milliseconds are long

11/19/2009 1:29:58 PM

really want to kill the old engineer who did all of these fucking cost estimates and used macro's that erase half the fucking forms everytime you open them so all of his work more or less is gone and i keep getting tons of macro errors ARGHH

11/19/2009 1:44:26 PM

^^ Yes, you can! http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=781929

Or, perhaps just play it safe and make a roasted red pepper hummus.

My definition of cooking is probably not like yours. I'm going to make sweet and sour chicken on white rice with stir fry vegetables.

11/19/2009 1:59:24 PM

welp.

pushed to production.

in 3 minutes, things'll be a shitstorm

or

ok

11/19/2009 2:07:51 PM

I would not actually do that to other people.

I've eaten too much hummus lately though, so not that either. Maybe mini quiches or something. Or something with avocado, because I want some.
