you should celebrate with a new bikeBtw I accepted the new job offer. Now I have to pass a background check and pee test. Hopefully with the latter they do not screen for sugar intake.New job told me not to quit my old job until I get the "all clear" which should take a couple of days.
hey! i like gin AND whiskey! but also beer.
hey man how you doin
This is going to be weird because there is a good chance I'll start this job working remote having never met a coworker in person. I don't know how that's all going to work, but we'll figure it out.
Same, except replace "good chance" with "utmost certainty". That said, my last job was 100% remote and I only met my boss and co-workers a handful of times. And for this job, the team is already geographically distributed with a couple people in the Denver area, one person in STL, the director in Chicago, and another designer in Minneapolis. It'll be fine, I'm sure.

I've never met a single one of my direct bosses. First one worked remotely from... CT, maybe? The next two have been in Omaha.
It took mine to clear weeks after I had already started the new gig.Btw I accepted the new job offer. Now I have to pass a background check and pee test. Hopefully with the latter they do not screen for sugar intake.
Huh. I wonder why they want me to pee in a cup also? Off to submit some urine for a drug screen. Joy!
There's talks of partial furlough, which they did back in '08. Not gonna lie, it's not terrible having every Friday off for a slight paycut. 4 day work week FTW.
Was really hoping to have my furlough approved by the time I left today. Fuckers will probably drag it out long enough for me to have to go in Sunday.
Afternoon Monkeys.
So the wife kept seeing articles about meat plants shutting down and possible shortages, so I figured a run to Cash and Carry was in order. Wow, there was a 2 item meat limit and it was blown out of almost everything. No ribs of any kind, no brisket, no ribeye, I got 2 of the last slabs of NY Strip and got out of there. There were a few tri tip left, but that was it.
While there I got onion rings, battered mushrooms, and mozz sticks to air fry. Great success on the crap. Got 16 1.5" steaks, a few thinner ones to play with and 6 left as big roast size for other stuffs.

Diabetes, kidneys on overdrive to remove sugar? Cars are carnivores but cat food has grains and carbs.
Also check to see what confidentiality or non compete shit they may want prior to quitting. A friend recently got surprised after moving cross country then being asked to sign an oppressive non compete statement.Btw I accepted the new job offer. Now I have to pass a background check and pee test. Hopefully with the latter they do not screen for sugar intake.
And cats are desert animals prone to not drinking enough water.
CHEAP cat food has grains and carbs.
@I Are Baboon just landed a cush new executive gig. those cats are gonna be rolling in BLUEFIN before you know it.
you watch.
you watch.
Spoke to my VP of 18 years this morning. He's the guy who originally hired me and retired to per diem status a few months ago. He told me to expect my current boss to counteroffer, so it'll be interesting to see what that might look like. They've been dangling a position upgrade in front of my face for several years now, so fuck them if they do it now because I am resigning. I essentially told that to VP, and he is pissed that never got done. It might be some good leverage though to squeeze a few more bucks out of the new place.
We have a stand up single door freezer in the garage, but we have a tiny ghetto fridge in the house that we have talked about replacing for a half decade now. I cleaned out the garage freezer and organized it. With the NY I got yesterday, we are now set on meat for a while.
Fresh produce and junk food is what we go through pretty quick with this WFH business. We were going to do pork chops tonight and the wife decided pot pies were less work.
So takeout once or twice a week to support locals and crazy 3 meal a day planning.
FTS
If they actually cared and appreciated what you were doing, they would have made it so you didn't entertain the thoughts of going somewhere else in the first place. Tell them to pack sand.
I hate when they do that. "Oh, you want to leave? How about a slightly better offer so we feel better about it?'
NO.
Scotch?
I don't. that's the wifes stash. I did do a taste at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Kentucky when we bought the bottle. Did it like mouth wash swish and spit don't swallow. good stuff
Decided to go the self haircut route, went with the largest two guards I have to maintain the ability to repair any disasters. Not great, but better than the before picture.
I was never into the secondary bargaining shit. By the time I told them the deal was done.
