Rather than separate them into little threads that are nonsensical, I figured I'd throw my day's thoughts into one big post that is REALLY nonsensical.
File under "What the fu...": A lot of "good" companies do the whole exit interview shindig before you leave. They like to know why you are leaving and what not...and perhaps learn about things they can do better.
So, anyway, with my last day being Thursday, I hadn't yet heard from Human Resources regarding this...and I was pretty sure that my company does the exit interview. So, I e-mailed someone in Human Resources earlier today asking if my company did indeed do this. About 2 hours later, I get an e-mail from someone in the department telling me to set a meeting time with her AND my immediate supervisor. What?! First off, my boss is on vacation until the 26th. Secondly, he's one of the reasons I'm leaving my job. And now, I have to drag in the guy that is looking over our group for the week...and he's a tool!
That will be the first thing I bitch about tomorrow when I go in. I mean, why the hell did
I basically have to set this up? Well, it gets me off the phone for a while at least. Now I just need to get some notes together for it. I like to be prepared.
"I like to go and have fun at someone else's expense.": Gotta love Denis Leary.
Anyway, there is this yahoo on phl.transportaion and misc.transport.road that I would *LOVE* to drag over here into the Cellar. Tony knows very well who this person is. She apparently goes to Penn, and made a name for herself earlier in the year by slagging on the beloved City of Philadelphia. After getting a verbal smackdown, she chilled out. Then, she started posting rather inane things on phl.transportation...it kept things interesting, but it got weird after a while...like the fact that Columbus Blvd. in South Philadelphia does not want to be called Delaware Ave. (its old name)...apparently it speaks.
After a while, it got really weird...and when she was finally called out, she went nuts...expletives and the whole 9. Apparently, a bunch of folks set her to killfile (myself included).
I want to drag her on here...just b/c I want to see Dham rip her a new asshole. Or tw lecture her about extremism. Or Hubris somehow link it to Hello Kitty. Or jag spew out some misspelled charge that would probably fly over her head. BUT...I won't. She would start 90 new threads in a heartbeat.
Christmas: So, what's everyone up to for the holiday? Rho and I are chilling at home, cooking up a ham and the other necessities. Rho has a cousin that holds a brunch just after Xmas, so we'll head down to Baltimore for that.
Suggestions: I run through about a dozen job sites every day, with the main ones being headhunter, monster, jobnet, and hotjobs. Can anyone recommend a few more national sites? I'm trying to spread my resume out as much as possible.
That's it.
