Morning, Gents, and Happy Friday! Not sure what's on the agenda for the weekend, but I know it'll be better than spending it here at work. I got home last night and found out that the DD wants a pizza party for the end of school tonight. Ok, we'll order pizza and pop in a movie....sounds good to me. Been working with a friend of mine, who's a member of my VFW post and is also the town service officer. He's been having me re-do my resume so I can apply to federal jobs. Man, I didn't know resumes for federal jobs are so different from private sector resumes. I'm having to think of think of things about jobs I haven't had to think about in years, and put things on my resume I haven't had to do before. Anyone else work for the federal government here? I'm hoping this will get me an interview at least. Maybe it'll get me something close to home. Interviewer: "So, Mr. Tenor, tell me about yourself." Me: "I'd rather not, I want the job."
We'll see. Well, gents, have a good day.
TTFN
Sorry to hear, hopefully they keep you on past June to give you more time to find something else.
Thank, man, appreciate it. The way things have been going there's a good chance they will, however, the new guys starts on Monday and I don't think they'll have a need for me past June...unless something major comes up.
Morning, gents.
Bit sore this morning, but taking a lazy day for the most part.
Continued good luck with your hunt!
Yeah, that would've been a bit of a slap in the face.
You want to be sore, too?
I quote this
all. the. time.
And
no one gets it.

That's such a great movie!
I've got to ask, who is Bubble?
That's not what I what came to my mind when I read "Who is Bubble?"
I'd like to say that kind of thing speaks poorly of management...
But I've come to believe that disrespect, indifference and even contempt are pretty much the requirements for even gaining access to a managerial position.
Because of the management here they've lost a lot of good people.
Cleaned out the office, which is further evidence that we are on lockdown indefinitely. I guess the University will feature all online classes? Hopefully, we can get some money selling those empty buildings. September seems a million years away at Ground Hog day speed.
Any chances of you working from home? The lock down won't last forever, I'm sure the university will open back up in the future.
Sorry to hear about the job. I guess we will both be looking at the same time. As for my back, it comes and goes. The dr said lose weight and exercise would help. Craziness! I was hoping for a steady supply of vicodin.
Let's hope they let you work from home, my friend. I've racheted up my job hunting something fierce, so I'm hoping something will come from it. And I hope they let you keep your job, or able to find something quickly. The dr. wants you to lose weight? That's crazy!
I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up. Stringing people along for years in just another sign of good management.
Like you, I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up, but being strung along, I guess, is part of the plan. And if stringing people along for years means good management, then I guess I'd be a bad manager.
Sorry for the bad news but as I heard my son and the recruiter discussing lately, "No" just stands for New Opportunities.
Good way to think of the word "No." I'm going to have to remember this. Thanks
Hey guys. I went AWOL for a little while again.
I missed a bunch of pages that I may not get through. I hope you’re all doing well.
I’m on week three of furlough. Spoke to my supervisor Wednesday and there may be some work coming up in a few weeks. Assuming my employment lasts that long. Cuts are ongoing throughout June. Depends a lot on how the oil price goes.
I’ve just been keeping busy with odd jobs around the house and spending time with family. And trying not to spend too much money in the process.
You know one sad fact is that I now have plenty of time for drinking but at a time when I can least afford it. It hasn’t stopped my rum intake yet though.
Anyway, sorry for bringing down the mood. It’s just kind of where I am these days.
Welcome back, and I'll be saying a prayer for you.
