So what fun things are there to do in Baltimore on a Tues/Wed night? Not really sure I want to drag my boss to the Inner Harbor but if there's a particularly good restaurant I could probably be convinced

For reals though, go to the little Italy area near the inner harbor. Or if you have a car, go to paper moon cafe, awesome diner type foods and the place has awesome tchotchkes on the walls
Evidently, one month is the time it takes for my female co-workers to become comfortable with flirting with me at work. The downside is that it is annoying and they take pleasure in bossing me around.
How do you solve the bossy female co-worker problem?
I'm guessing "behave professionally" isn't an option for you.

you'd be amazed at how much easier workplaces become if you treat women as people instead of things you have at least a puncher's chance at seeing naked

How do you solve the bossy female co-worker problem?
you ask "Are we fuckin'?"
and when they respond in the negative, tell them that is the only leverage they would have for telling you what to do.
What if the response was "not yet" or "maybe"?
Then you have to go through a decision process of risk vs reward based on type of work, her level of bossy, the rudeness of titties, and how hittable that ass is.
Yeah being a doormat is totally gonna increase your chances of sleeping with them while not ruining your job success at all. Great strategy.
Hence decision tree. For a meh to average looking female co-worker, it's not worth the hassle. For say Kate Upton or Mila Kunis...I'd be at least willing to entertain strategies.
It's not a doormat, it's a battle plan.
Yeah but what I'm saying is for even the latter cases your strategies should not include 'doing whatever they say at work'. Doing a few favors, sure, but letting them boss you around should never be part of the plan.
If there's a PA job board, I'll repost it there, but my company is looking for experienced Cisco UC engineers for contract in the Atlanta metro area on a 1099 basis. It's not permanent (right now), but it's better than nothing.

That's a good tactic for pretty much all of life.
My wife knows my list of women I would have to leave her for if they ever came to my front door begging for my dick. Jessica Alba. That was a few years ago, I may need to update.

I don't know about that. Sometimes being bossed around is pretty hot. Maybe some light BDSM. Nothing to far, like Sasha Grey asking to be punched in the stomach or anything.
All well and good in private but you don't get there by doing all their work for them, is what I'm saying. I am of course basing this on little to no personal experience so feel free to ignore me.

I have two Cisco 2500s with out-dated IOS in my closet that I've never even logged into, because I don't have a USB to serial connector, and a couple of books on CCNE or CCNA or whatever that I've barely read any of. Good enough, right?

Well, since UC is Unified Communications and you can't run any of those apps on ancient 2500-series routers, absolutely!

Not murdering most of the management chain? Oh wait, that isn't a solution, it is just a compromise.
Actually if you can think of an example that would tie in to the position you are interviewing for it should help. Mention weighing different options and the reason your solution was good or bad. Plus mention short, middle and long term consequences of what you came up with. That should tell them you are able to think and put business interests into your decisions. Mention enough specifics so they understand. Ask if they want more details because you want to convey the information necessary for the decision without belaboring the point.

Go through your email and find any that were sent at 2 a.m., and start with that project.

Our recently fired sales manager used to send email at 2am all the time. Presumably just to give the illusion that he was working hard and late into the night.

My previous boss used to say that if you have to work until the wee hours of the morning all the time, you're either bad at what you do or you should walk out and let the place fall apart without you to facilitate a promotion/raise.
I miss working for him. He was a real 'no bullshit' kind of guy and if you gave a real answer to why something isn't done or can't be done in the insane time constraints given to us by someone else, he had your back. If you tried to make dumb excuses, he called you out in front of the group.
Man I would really like a job again, glad I have some retail experience to put on my CV at least.
Just wanna save up and move out.

Clearly you didn't read that one Valentine's Day thread he made.
And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn
So I submitted my paperwork today so the feds can start the background investigation on me and I just got a call that they're putting a hold on it because I'm outside the drug policy
You have to have no marijuana use at all in the last 3 years, which I knew about and thought I was in the clear, but when I got to this paperwork I remembered one instance and was like, better be honest and put it down because if I omit it here I'll have to lie during the polygraph and getting a bad result on a poly is waaaaay worse than the drug use
And it was just barely less than 3 years ago by like, 2 months, but they absolutely don't let that slide
So they're gonna delay this for 2 or 3 months until the 3 year limit is up and then reactivate me, and hopefully I'll still get into training in the fall, but if not then they may have to give me a slightly later start date
I was just really ready for this whole thing to move along and now I'm just so mad
Mostly at myself
This is a man who mocked a coworker after she complained about one of our teenagers threatening to beat her to death with a steel bat in his hand.
This is a man without rules.
It seems like this is something the state agency that is funding you would probably want to know about.
This is what I was thinking. This isn't typical "not good at being a manager" stuff you're describing, it's abuse.
Yeah, things are pretty bad. And I wish there was someone higher than him but there isn't which means if any action is done I will likely be immediately out of a job.
But good news! I may be able to relocate to New Mexico to pursue pure, professional improv' comedy in a month or so. Hopefully that pulls through because if it does I am out of this job/work relationship.

Oh, but here is a nice story. Last week my friend worked with me at the camp and his main duty was driving one of the vans to the different field trip locations. He consistently got slack from my boss because he wouldn't be able to stay up with him on the freeway and such. It should be noted that each vehicle is full of special needs children, my boss is flooring it in his vehicle, he isn't using any turn signals and is breaking a whole slew of other traffic laws (like running through red lights.) But the biggest thing is that he wouldn't tell my friend where the field trip was located, so he'd force him to try to follow him.
Eventually this conversation took place over cellphones on the freeway.
Boss: Hey, where are you?
Friend: Where am I? Where are you!?!
Boss: Going to the field trip.
Friend: Where?!? Where is that?
Boss: That's on a need to know basis. Why can't you just keep up?
Friend: Because if I do I'll be breaking the law.
Boss: Don't worry, you get permission.
Friend: What?
Boss: You get permission to speed.
Friend: WHAT!?! You can't give that.
Boss: Don't worry, I used to be a cop. You have permission, now catch up.
Please research the company you're interviewing with before the interview. Or at least read the goddamn job description so you know which city we're hiring in.

The only way you're going to "get there" is if she's already decided you're going there and that has not much to do with kissing up to her.
Actually, one of the guys I work with is a former Taney CO

Actually, you might wanna pm Stale. I think he's more likely to know folks in that industry here in Atlanta.

Thats the closest I get to being hit on at work!
In 9 hours.
I am so bored. Having nothing to do is a billion times worse than being really really busy.
I wouldn't assume you weren't being hit on, there are some pretty freaky old ladies out there.
Huh, you know she had been telling me a tragic story about her dead husband!
