g'morns and stuff.
Trying to really concentrate on my posture at work and am feeling the effects of sitting in a chair for 5 days a week for the past 6 months. Need to ask my ortho for a dr's note for a standing desk & may sit on a stability ball throughout the day.
Streamed a bit of the Dead last nite. good tunes & B's were a great way to wrap up a monday.

Morning Monkeys.

Still looking, lots of companies still in the mix, but this is getting old (as am I). More than a little annoyed since I thought I had at least done well in my last interview, but got no word back. Was told I would hear either way, heard nothing. Decided to reach out, was told I would grt a call back that never came. It just seems really rude since I was told I would hear. Since I was lining up other interviews, I figured I would check the status of this, guess not.

And no word from Costco, WTF?

You're old and over-qualified. Have you considered straight-line contract/consulting? Go short term and fucking SQUEEZE the contract company to pay you a shitload of money.

Only reason I'm in the elevator at all, I'd take the stairs if I wasn't on crutches.

I will be complaining a great deal if I ever get out of here.

This is what I will be looking at tomorrow. Not too short term with extensions. 6 months, then negotiate, wash, rinse, repeat. A friend talked about starting my own consultancy, I looked into that after the .com debacle but ended up in the Army. :rofl:

Yes, still in the elevator. Service has been called but it's not yet clear when they'll show up.

I'd love to take a dump in here, except for the part where I'd be stuck sitting next to it. I think the move is to wait until they get the door open so that I can look them in the eyes while I do it, then slowly crutch away without saying anything.

I work on the 3rd floor, but the first is high bay shop space, so it's more like 4 flights of stairs to get up there.

The good news is that I have one leftover taco with me for a snack. The bad news is that I already had a couple cups of coffee and am starting to need to poop.

Bet that elevator malfunction would be addressed properly after that.

Elevator here got jammed as I was going to take a rather urgent dump. There were a few other people in the elevator with me. Luckily we were able to pry the fucking door open.

Given that these fucking morons haven't been able to make a goddamn elevator work right in 9 months, I think assuming that them being here means that I'll get out soon is foolish.
