My wife once was offered $30K to stay at a job she'd given notice to... she turned it down.
Yeah, FTS. It's too late.
yeah it's not that bad though. I've worked in terrible places...this isn't one of them...it's just chaotic. There's a lack of leadership for sure, but I enjoy nobody watching over my shoulder, reasonable pay, interesting work, challenging work, and vertical advancement....but I don't get feedback on performance, competitive bonuses, stock options that have value....I shouldn't describe it as toxic as much as "stupid". Not sure if that's better, I guess....hmmm...
everyone's got a price on how much stupid they're willing to tolerate
You've given your notice, even if you stay your management chain has that knowledge about you which will just hurt in the long run.
Besides, you said the new job is better for bike commuting.

This... and you can bet that when it comes time to save some money, you'll likely be a prime candidate for the axe.
I think he has a couple little kids, doesn't he? Funemployment tends to be not so fun when in that position. Don't ask me how I know.
That said, he could always sell the Alpha.
aren't you supposed to be napping?!
Just ate shit on my 5th ride after breaking my index finger 5 weeks ago. Reason - some dumbass placing a big branch in a blind spot turn after a step up and I was following my buddy really close and didn't see it in time. Front wheel washed out, tried to get it back but hit the deck with my whole right body side. Nice abrasions on forearm, elbow, hip and ankle. Nothing seriously swollen so far. 
Children's. It provides me the needed time to take to finally figure out her cough. Tomorrow for boot fitting now.
me: "hey person, please approve this form" <attaches form>
person: "i haven't seen it yet. have you seen it other approvers?
me: "I attached it to the last email" <<attaches prior email that includes form>>
person: "we can't mix electronic and wet signatures"
me: "there are no electronic signatures on the form"
the stupid. it burns.

At urgent care for X-rays. Fell out of a hammock and landed on my head. Neck is pretty tweaked. Hoping I don’t have anything broken.
Received an email. The two other people cc’d on the email also forwarded it to me.
Yeah this whole counter offer thing sounds like as much of a cluster as the rest of the company is. Colleagues spent lunch talking about how terrible our operations group is. I think I needed that
Urgent care doc says looks okay. Probably whiplash type thing. Got a shot. Getting a prescription. Need to schedule an MRI.
Again, if I was worth that all along...
This was installed today. The Polish factory decided to make a different design choice and make the top green instead of just green on the inside which they then decided should only be partially green. Going to sand and hand paint it myself.
So my start date is Monday. I did the assessment for this other gig. Am I applying for a job, or taking the SAT? First was an untimed 1-5 Always true vs Always false series of questions like:
Do you procrastinate?
Or
Do you feel you have reached a level of success as your peers?
I mean, there are very few times where I will say a situation is ALWAYS TRUE/FALSE.
This was followed by 50 questions in 15 minutes, no calculators.
If Sally has 3 apples and Billy has 2 pears, how much change is in Jack's front pocket?
$.63
Or
FAT is to OBESE as...
SHIT is to SHARTED.
I didn't get my score but answered 44/50. It was quite the experience.

The fun part is, top execs typically never have to go through this bullshit, and even if they do, their results are largely ignored.
Present. Good day yesterday. Got up early to do a pre dawn lap and test the lights out before some night rides. Then did another ride lap with some buddies and a few new guys. There was some puking and walking and swearing. No particular order. Signed my oldest up with me for a 5k charity bike ride this weekend. It’s a closed course right by our house and for our school district. I usually try to avoid it since it’s just insanity, but he asked to do it and is really excited. We are close enough we can just ride over there and not have to deal with parking and all that so it shouldn’t be too bad. On a positive fitness goal, dropped below 230lbs for the first time in a long time and weighed in at 228 after the ride. Feelin’ pretty spry lately.

Once you make the decision to go, go. If they give you the promo, they'll hold a grudge.
It really looks like shed is going to be finished and Conex emptied this week. I am in shock.
