...Ops
...Customer Manufacturing (R&D)
...Merchandise ...Business Dev and Strategic Planning (her..no staff though)
There are another two, but it's more title based.
On the C-level there is a CEO, CFO, and CMO.
Crazy VP once reported to CMO and then he went bonkers and booted her to under the CEO. He was warned by the entirety of his senior staff (myself included) that that is a piss poor idea because you can't contain what you can't control. He has since stated he made a tragic mistake.
See, my jargon to English translation puts that as "Sales" or failing that "Person we want to give a salary to but is otherwise Useless".
I buy more from thinkgeek than I should, but I can't say I've ever actually seen an interview with someone from the company.
Maybe I'm just a bad PR recipient.
I do see you posting here and that usually gets me going to see what's new though.
The best part of her last email was the "well, Steve doesn't like working with <Other VP> and media, so I should do it." Which is just...I...yea. Other VP and I do interviews together all the damned time.

I have an interview today with a gubmint job. Last time I interviewed with these folks was for a tier 1 tech specialist job. They emailed me and told me that I didn't get that one, but they highly recommended that I apply for the tier 2/3 jobs they were posting soon. So I did that and now I have an interview in... 3 1/2 hours? This is one of the few interviews in... ever that I'm not super freaked out about. Not sure if that's a good sign or what, but I really want to get out of this current place. Fingers crossed good things happen!
Can anyone tell me how to pronounce Perpignan? The place in France. I did not study French in school so have no idea. Thanks!

Several days this week our school is going through its accreditation. Today my library is being used during lunch for the accreditation team to interview students. Boxed lunches for the students was provided. There were extras for the school administrators having to work with the accreditation team. The principal also gave me one.
I am now in possession of a large hoagie sandwich, and multiple cookies and bags of chips from the admin who didn't want theirs. They kept giving them to me.
Also I showed the principal my couch and he's going to get the library a new one and maybe get the old arm chairs reupholstered.
My luck is like a piece of art. An Ancient Greek tragedy, a slapstick comedy, a Shakespearean drama.
Driving home the day before heading out to Seattle, we hit probably a piece of tire. My car now has some trouble accelerating like the engine strains just to keep at speed.
Check engine light came on. Managed to make it home at least.
Neato
Are there any liquids leaking out of it?
Does the engine sound weird?
Nothing leaking luckily. Engine strains to accelerate. I think something got knocked and it's not getting enough gas. Startup and acceleration are when it's bad.
The exhaust pipe could also have been crushed by the object you ran over, which would literally be choking the motor. If a fuel line was dented/crushed, it's likely the car would misfire, get hot, and exhaust black smoke under heavy load (like driving up a steep hill), because rail pressure would drop and there would be insufficient fuel coming out of the injectors, and also because of the lowered pressure it would not atomise out of the nozzle correctly and would not burn properly.
Luckily there's a saab mechanic nearby. it wasn't running hot and there were no misfires or smoke, so the exhaust being messed up sounds likely.
@DaMoonRulz it was good! we hung out inside and played Baldur's Gate 2 multiplayer. We had been working on it for a few weekends and finally beat it this weekend. Got my old desktop running again too, with a new video card.
Today I have a record in a weekly batch of records from someone, based on the content of their allegation in the record and their given name, that has a non-English first language.
In this case, their linguistic background has led to them replacing the word "guy" with "gay." I have somewhere around a dozen references to a "service gay" in this report. Now I'm left wondering if we have some sort of special service plan that I didn't know about.

but they're listening to every word I say
Can anyone tell me how to pronounce Perpignan? The place in France. I did not study French in school so have no idea. Thanks!
If I had to guess at it (and if I could write it out) I'm guessing it would be like pear-pee-nyan?
Ahh thank you so much!! Will hopefully make me sound less daft now in this presentation I have on Thursday.
edit: ooh even better!
I do kinda want to hear your manc accent having a go at it though
(Is your accent manchester based? I thought that was where you lived but don't remember if that's where your accent is derived from)

Sheffield, so just across the hills, I've been told its faded a lot though and just sounds neutral.

That's a nice perk at least.
See, my jargon to English translation puts that as "Sales" or failing that "Person we want to give a salary to but is otherwise Useless".
It may be failing though.

Woah, let's not say anything we can't take back.

Rational like Bill O'Reilly.

We did, actually.
I spoke with him on the phone for an hour or so about all kinds of things. And then I transcribed all of it.
...now ask me why it hasn't been posted on the site yet. Because I have nooooo idea.
I'm sure I could cut and paste excerpts though. Dude is a good time to talk to.
Yes please.
Oh cool! That would be a good read (also it would give me closure as to wether or not I won a signed copy of a book)

I'm so tired of interviews.

They didn't really give a reason. Just locked the dude in the laundry room.
A+
Sounds like a good time to flip out and break everything in that laundry room with me.
Let me out or I'll break more things!
Leaving work now to go and change clothes for INTERVIEW TIME.
Gonna play this on repeat for an hour.
IT PUTS THE LOTION ON!!!
Two tacos short of a combo platter!
He could threaten to put the lotion on the clothes. Maybe it won't come out.
