Actually, I ran out.
If you are an entrepreneur, you are laughing on your way to the bank every fucking day.
It’s like fat-free potato chips. It seems like it’ll be awesome... until the anal leakage starts.
(As I go to beg for more seed money...)
That's a selfish outlook.
The only weddings I clearly remember are ones with fights or similar shenanigans.
Wedding gifts are temporary, memories last a lifetime.
So I am being asked in for an in person. I feel really good about this, but I have been very wrong so far, so I am trying to stay realistic.
Meanwhile in my day job, I have almost nothing to do and the folks who should care, don't. This will be a long month...

Checking in. Just got out of a 3.5 hour on-site interview. Man was that exhausting.
Here's to hoping they, or someone else, sends me an offer soon. I'd like to have options.

Some folks remark on my new cube location. I love it.
I tell them I am 2 cubes shy of the Columbia employee store.

I don't have to deal with people... and the work still sucks.
How do you pick your nose in those type of offices? Or surf porn?That looks like a luxury crib. Our office is moving towards the open space / long desks model.
Re: unlimited PTO - Everybody director level and up has "unlimited" PTO at my company, yet they all work too much to actually take any PTO, and senior management is always looking for data to see how much PTO the director and up population is taking so they can watch for abuse. "Unlimited" though. 
Usually your hourly rate is "adjusted" for unpaid benefits and unpaid PTO.
I turned down a job offer because if that work arrangement. They couldn't believe I was serious.That looks like a luxury crib. Our office is moving towards the open space / long desks model.
Been there done that, it sucks a royal arse, especially when you need to join frequent meetings.
Hoping I'll be out of here before the office reorg happens.

Cause of course they are. My wife's boss's company is going after an employee for taking too much PTO, even though they have an unlimited PTO policy.Re: unlimited PTO - Everybody director level and up has "unlimited" PTO at my company, yet they all work too much to actually take any PTO, and senior management is always looking for data to see how much PTO the director and up population is taking so they can watch for abuse.

Methinks it's just an open ended way to make people take less. One of those, when its given you feel entitled to take it all, but when you must ask for it you'll do so less frequently.
how many people in your company?Re: unlimited PTO - Everybody director level and up has "unlimited" PTO at my company, yet they all work too much to actually take any PTO, and senior management is always looking for data to see how much PTO the director and up population is taking so they can watch for abuse.

I have my client's phone numbers sent directly to voicemail. I answer their "call me back" message with an email. After 16 years I can't understand they haven't figured out that I hate talking to them on the phone.
I think as a concept it is a great idea. My job has rarely required 40 hours a week to get what I get done, yet at half effort I look like a rockstar. But if I could do a 3 day weekend every other week, or a 4 day weekend every month to get Frita out and you want me to take PTO so you feel I am actually working less, I am ok with that.
If I don't have to sweat how much PTO I have on hand, that too is a nice perk. But I don't see abusing it if it isn't an issue when asked for it.
and yet they've been been your client for 16 years
I much prefer a terse, competent person to some goofy ass-kisser. I don't care about the fucking weather, let's get this shit done.and yet they've been been your client for 16 years
I must be doing something good.and yet they've been been your client for 16 years
14000. Probably 500 or so director level and up.
I always preferred talking over email.
For those who could not be depended upon, used followup email to review and record what had been discussed.
Maybe Portland is ahead (or behind) the curve. But I worked in a few "open" offices and it sucks. Being able to just holler at someone without getting up is great for only the one hollering. Most if not all offices around here have gone back to even small cubes.That looks like a luxury crib. Our office is moving towards the open space / long desks model.
Mine is mid sized, but I love not having folks around. There are like 5 people on this side of the building and there are about 40 cubes.
domestic or global?
If it was business only I wouldn't mind that much, but when they try to get into my personal life I draw the line. Not like we have 1% affinity.
You should wear green moar often, it looks good on you.
It was enough.
Or cry.
I have been to the dentist so many times for this grafting and implant that I have lost all fear of the dentist office. The nurses know me. There's a comfy chair and a blanket where you can relax. They got a dog. Someone occasionally subjects you to severe pain. It's like home.
Wait. Does she look like Shrek? I have to buy the flowers for that shit.Just sent a set of bands and a happy couple down your way. You're welcome..
Oh, so I got a phone call and voicemail from the place I really want to get an offer from, and the lady said to call her back because she wanted to chat. No indication one way or another whether she wanted to talk about good things, or bad things. I tried calling her back several times over the course of the afternoon with no response.
How annoying.
