Let's talk about jobs; the having of them, the getting of them, and the time Pam microwaved fish and stank up the whole place.

They added some new tech at work.
Also, I got a pay raise!

It didn't come up during the interview but the company they use is going to verify my work history and also asked about my unemployed from leaving discover to now. I put that I was unemployed. Hope this doesn't screw me over.

I never fear death or dyin', I only fear never trying.
Orientation at new job is going pretty well thus far. We got an hour for lunch so I'm munching chips and playing a game. I'm still having trouble believing that this is real and I'm no longer a glorified paper pusher.
So far nothing though. Hope they do though at some point.
Yeah, hopefully I say it won't matter, but for future reference I think you should mention it in response to a direct question like that. Maybe just be prepared for a follow-up inquiry if they find your prior employment and ask why you didn't disclose it. If you flounder about with that answer it'll raise suspicion as opposed to a casual, "Yeah, sorry about that. I worked there for such a short time I didn't think to mention it."
In my old, old office, people were breaking out the torches and pitchforks in preparation to hunt down and bring to justice an individual who was stealing lunches from the fridge.
Pam was the one to defend the person from a position of empathy, stating that maybe the person was "really hungry."
Pam stole those fucking lunches and I hope you crucified her charred remains.
Broccoli can sometimes smell so foul yet taste so good
@Moriveth has perfected roasting broccoli and it stinks so badly when I reheat it, but it’s often my favourite part of the lunch!
I’m glad orientation is going well and I hope you enjoy it!
To expand on my last post in the previous job thread: it wasn’t upsetting that the law worked as intended. It was upsetting that the prosecution couldn’t bring a strong enough case against the defendant who was on domestic violence/stalking charges; the woman the prosecution was working for seemed genuinely afraid for her life, my dad said.

There is a lady in our office who cooks Movie Theater Butter Popcorn in the office once a day and it is insane how completely the stink fills up the entire office

So, err, not to cast aspersions on Pam but maybe it was more than just empathy...
I like that there is an update, but man, would not have seen that ending coming!
It's also made me instantly hungry.
I have arrived at hunger part two for the day. I can tough it out for the next half hour, then I'll go home to watch littlest while my wife is at a doctor appointment, and I'll be able to stuff my face with abundant home food instead of subsisting on my usual, meager office lunch.
I'm ready if they do ask about it but now I'm a little anxious about the whole thing. I'm going in tomorrow to do my badge, drug tests, and finger prints so I might ask then usually how long it takes so I know when I can relax.

The gym doesn't clear out to the point of usability until after 9pm, so I'm definitely going to have to fill in the gap with something. The question is going to be if the cafeteria has anything worth eating in it, or if i will fall back on an outsized chocolate chip cookie once again.
This is why I need to be management, that way I can have my own office to stink up
the only way you get to management level is by farting so bad that they give you your own space out of fear for what smells will come out of you next
fart your way to the top
I'm sure it's for the best that I can't, given my old-man metabolism and prospects for long term health... but I really miss being able to subsist on a giant cookie.
For years we had a Larry's Cookies we'd walk past on our way home from the metro. Not only were those cookies awesome, but they were huge, and heavy. Also extremely expensive but it was a different time then. My wife has more of a sweet tooth than I do and it was usually her that would stop us because, as she said, "The cookies looked at me."
That's what ND did, I hear. That's how you get to be Fart Director.
This shit is just going to self combust, I don't even have to flick the match.
So now i’m back at the clinic to get checked out
These two days I’ve been off have kinda sucked
Give it time bud. These people have other jobs and might have other problems to deal with. If you haven't sent a thank you, tonight might be a good time, so it's in the inbox in the morning.
Phone them back and politely ask where they are in the hiring process/thank them for the interview.
I was waiting for this. Thank you
I don't have their email or I would type something like that.
I'll give them a call to follow up, ask about it and thank them tomorrow since I see my job developer in the morning anyway and she can give me tips and a pep talk about it.
No khaki or brown. Of course. But blue and green are fine!
Fucking.. It's already over $2.60 a gallon and it isn't summer yet...
They are out of their damn minds
I'm glad I have a pretty economical car... Almost worth the 12.99% apr on the loan...

What about Fife? Do they have nothing?
