Re: Tuesday Randoms
I'm skipping this year.
Juli, they're eliminating all jobs in our department and replacing them with new ones, so everyone who still wants to work here *cough cough* has to reapply. I don't.
I need to stick it out for a little less than 4 weeks to get my full severance. Of course, if I find another job in that time I'll say sayonara severance, but in the mean time I am making my required appearances. Also, I just got the ok to work from home 3 days/week. I'm not supposed to tell anyone about it. But... um... yeah. I don't care.
It's already been an interesting two weeks. No one is even attempting to hide the recruiter calls, interviews, or anything.
I so wish I could! I loved going.
What line of work are you in?
Wow JGE- that sounds interesting. Will the new jobs have the same functions as the old ones?
Which days are you going to pick to work from home?
Well that sounds . . . interesting. Seriously, that stinks though. For everyone, it sounds like. I'm glad you still have a job and can get severance if you stick it out, but here's hoping you find a better place soon.
Marketing, Communications, writing, eCommerce, web stuff
Most of the descriptions are changing. I'm going to try working from home Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I'm sure I'll be in the office more than that though. (well, maybe not, we'll see.)
It sucks for a lot of people. I'm in a pretty good spot. If I don't find full time employment fairly quickly, I'm going to try school full time
nope I dont do lent. LOL
It's ok buck wheat
I love that character from lil rascals 
(not meaning to offend you at all)
I'm running in to say hi. "HI!!!!".
Been busy today. Helping my parents, running out to Hastings and Invoicing and now getting ready for a meeting. Miss ya'll today.
Lent: I don't participate in that really but I know that fish will be in high demand and that make DH hubby because he will get more of it.
JGE: Bummer about the job situation. I'm glad to hear you have a couple different plans to go with. This now makes more sense from what I'm getting off your twitter feed.
I bought raspberry Paczki's for SS and he took 4 to school and ate 3 and gave one to a friend. Sugar high anyone???
None taken!
I just had another one and it's filled with sugar. Wow sugar buzz here I come!
]Offense taken...
Agreed.
When touring schools for Allison I saw a poster at one of the locations and it stated "If you have to add just kidding, then you shouldn't say it in the first place." I think that goes along with saying "no offense".
Yeah ok...I've never seen the Lil Rascals. I've seen the character. I thought- I hoped maybe he says that thoughout the movie or show.
But if not, then what???
Catching up because I wasn't here yesterday...
Charity, your comment was completely out of line.
GRSP, Paczki's are delicious and I used to consider them a requirement. But after years of searching, I still haven't found any place locally that makes real, Polish paczkis. The Dutch can make great banket, but I find their paczkis to be lacking.
I want a paczki.
Mike had two yesterday and said they are overrated! Ummm then don't eat them both! I would have liked one! Haha.
B&G, my dad grew up loving the Lil Rascals, and he made sure that his kids have seen at least a few episodes. It's not a show that aged well (but none of them from that era did). Buckwheat was, I think, the only black kid in the group of kids. One of the kids' trademark line was "otay Buckwheat." I can't speak for everyone else, but Charity's comment ruffled my feathers because you, our lovely B&G, happen to be (as far as I know*) the only regular poster who is black.
Charity, I don't know what your intentions were there, but dude... Like gvsu says if you have to say "no offense" you probably shouldn't hit post.
* I dunno, maybe you're really an old Indian guy.
Just going by your photo. Also, I haven't met all of the ladies here, so I don't know...
