first day of training, apparently much busier than usual. but post-game feedback, was told i'm "so patient, and helpful, a ray of sunshine." so hopefully when i really start fuckin' up, they can look back on it and trust that it's a phase, and i'll get there.
also, i didn't need black anything, just tasteful clothing and non-slip shoes. d'oh!
I applied for a few jobs in the states, but most of them had those auto application forms put together by some third party. How well do you think those dealt with someone educated outside the US. Go on, guess.
I'd be surprised if a real person even saw my résumé on those.

One of our folks attending PAX with us is having some severe gastro intestinal issues and another has some family stuff going on.
If sickie is still down for the count today we may have to pull him. 1) because I don't want him making himself worse and 2) (and more importantly) I don't want him getting us or anyone else sick.
Let us hope that this is a mere 24 hour thing.
In other work related news, I just had an actual conversation about the My Little Pony and Doctor Who mashup and how to write about it properly.
I hope these aren't the interns we're going to haze, because my buddy needs to be serenaded by Pink songs!

I responded to a craigslist ad 40 minutes ago. Amazingly, they wrote me back about 37 minutes ago saying "I'm here till 7, come in for an interview"
It's 6:05! they're at least 20 minutes away I've never driven to that area and I would have no idea where to park. fffffuck
Oh, hi everyone my job up and fired me just last friday. "Restructuring" "Services no longer required" But we were short handed! I did not see this coming. I had only been there for just over a year now.
Now I've got to pull my sad sack lazy ass up and start this job hunt again. Shitty.
My wife is making me regret my choice of careers. She just sent me the 5 course + tapas tasting menu for the acute cardiac syndrome presentation she's at at one of our favorite restaurants. For lunch today the clinic she's doing her clinicals at had food catered, and yesterday they had barbeque.

Only bringing one intern and you don't want to hear Pink...I promise.
Fuck... my old boss screwed me out of vacation this year by sending me home early nearly every damn day.
At this rate, I won't get any vacation until January.
On the plus, my new boss is making sure I have plenty to do so that leaving early is not an option. He's had to get super creative with cleaning projects because if I'm not baking or serving customers, I'm making stuff shiny and clean.

I'm the computer contact for my library branch so I do all the minor tech stuff before elevating it. We just had a meeting with the other contacts and the main tech guy for the library system.
He said he might be able to replace our main printer that is a freaking pile of junk. I then asked if we could go office space on the old one.
He responded by saying he has the baseball bat in his trunk.

This job. Sometimes I really dislike having a small team. The gossip is amazing. So is the downright cattiness.
Just. Ugh. We get it. You're upset that you didn't get the next step of the interview process. This does not mean you get to sit there and bitch about the people who did. Or wonder aloud why they got through and you didn't.
Be upset but don't bring the team idown with your negativity.

So, big mandatory staff meeting tomorrow afternoon/evening. They're taking us all to a restaurant for the meeting and then plying us with food.
Of course that makes people wonder/worry/speculate about what's going on that they need to bribe us with food.
So the first shoe dropped today. CEO sent out an email mid-afternoon about how the company has been looking for ways to save money (ohshit)and how they think that they've come up with the answer (yeeeeup saw that coming), so effective at some point there will likely be at least 14 redundancies created and a hiring freeze.
Nobody in my team has been made redundant, but the hiring freeze is going to hurt us a bit, we're already plenty short-staffed.
I just do not understand the concept of 'growing' a company by cutting jobs.
Ugh the senior process engineer took an unannounced sick day (we assume, no emails have been sent to us and the manager has gone to another site today) and over the course of the morning the work of the rest of us on the project has ground to a halt from him not being around to answer questions (that would take 2 mins to resolve in total). Plus of course he hadn't done any of the documentation he should have so we can't look it up anywhere.
Just got my shot list for the next week and a half.

Hahaha. A student just sent an email saying he's going to the pub after work to the entire company. Well done, Billy. I'm sure that the US office would love to join you and will down tools now and head straight to the airport.

On the topic of catered lunches, they do that a LOT here. Especially if there is an uppery-manager involved.
I've seen them plan a catered morning meeting (with like a breakfast burrito buffet with all the fixins to make them yourself, and THAT meeting was to discuss what they wanted to talk about for the LUNCH meeting that day, and then they discussed who would be catering that one.

Get to work and my laptop blue screens just minutes after first boot of the day. Then, Lotus Notes gives me an error that won't let me into my calendar or folders without freezing up. Then our database throws a weird error at me, but seems to be working anyway (data is moving properly).
It is going to be a fun day today, I can just tell.

I'm going to guess very well indeed.
there never is in the places where I've submitted my resume
at least I'm not using LaTeX for it anymore like a crazy person, so it hasn't been a problem for me personally
I need to work where you work
I think my best chance of respite is the possibility of being sent down to richmond for a job

... what else would you use???
as someone who's been dealing with different unicode sets
there is no plaintext
the most laborious of options
Sure there is, that just means no formatting beyond spaces/tabs, you can can have extended characters if you want
the more strongly the feeling grew that was probably exactly what you used, the more I wanted to make that post
to be fair, I probably spent a lot less time trying to get my old LaTeX formatted resume looking right than when I used word
indesign is not the most laborious of options

And they don't have money for raises.
