Dual citizenship?And... doubt I ever will... move south, I mean. I don't want to give up my Canadian citizenship, so can only stay south for a limited time.
Sorry Norm, but at least you know ...I've had interviews before and not heard a peep. Had a couple I thought went real well and crickets.And just like that, my parole was denied.
I got my rejection phone call less than 23 hours after the interview.
So no alcohol and no coffee? Thought we had some requirements to get into this clubSince I think all coffee is vile, none at all is better.
DD definitely lost most of her yap / attitude at about 20 so maybe it's just girls? DS was never a PITA like that so we were lucky on that one.Really?
You certain about that one?
slight breech of etiquette..........Bumpus! Come get your mutts!
Sorry to hear Norm, don't let it get to ya especially at this time of year.And just like that, my parole was denied.
I got my rejection phone call less than 23 hours after the interview. Then, you add 16 hours of being off work. So yeah, they carefully considered the candidates for maybe 6 hours. Good to know I had a real chance of getting the job. I'm leaving to play tennis. See how much I can do between now and next year when I retire.
I bet you do!Come on down...I know a.good real estate agent
From what I've heard, becoming a US citizen is extraordinarily difficult.Dual citizenship?
Wow, that's pretty cool...off from work until new year. (Yes, I already know that's not the case)I'll take that bet.
I've maxed out the number of hours you're legally allowed to work in this country for the year.
After Jan 1 is a different story.
Yes, we do.So no alcohol and no coffee? Thought we had some requirements to get into this club
We should talk.From what I've heard, becoming a US citizen is extraordinarily difficult.
Wow! Did anyone else just watch survivor?
Won't say because I don't want to spoil for anyone, but
Getting allowed in up that way ain't no walk in the park either.From what I've heard, becoming a US citizen is extraordinarily difficult.
I guess you knew it was coming, but... sorry, man.
Sorry bud.
Sorry, Norm. Been there, got the t-shirt. Wish I could tell you it gets better.
Hopefully you've already started tunneling out of the place by now.
Sorry Norm.
There is always the Pro Pickleball Tour.

So my team had a white elephant gift exchange today. The most traded item was fantastic--they downloaded my picture from my official bio and put in on a shot glass. Now that's a morale booster!
Well the overlords have finally made a decision.
For some strange reason, they've decided to let me live.
So I will still be employed for the foreseeable future. Of course they can always change their mind, but for the first time in in a year I actually know what their plan is. I'm supposed to be officially hired on Jan 1st, but now they just have to actually follow through on it. I do need to give credit to the folks that I have been doing work for as they saw my value and went to bat to keep me on.
One great sigh of relief...
However...
There is just one teensy-weensy, but ever so crucial little, tiny detail.
They own me...
Yes! And DW Googled to see if there was any more info, but couldn't find anything out there.Wow! Did anyone else just watch survivor?
Won't say because I don't want to spoil for anyone, but
They need plausible deniability.Yeah. It's the lack of integrity. I would have appreciated a call not to bother to show up to interview.
One way or another, they own all of us buddy. All you can do is make sure your price ain't too cheap.They own me...
Good news my friend. Pop in when you can.Well the overlords have finally made a decision.

Good for you. Fight the power.Yes, I literally left and went to play tennis. What are they going to do? Not promote me?
Maybe ask for the specific feedback? Make them squirm a bit? Make a bit of noise. I got 2 pay rises out of not getting jobs.I nailed the interview. The fix was in, so never actually had a chance.
Isn't that what you said two days ago?Morning, gents.
Just over an hour to go until I'm free for three days. Ahhhh… soon... sooon...
Hmmm... Possibly on Monday I said something about not long to go before being off... but that was only being off for 8 hours.Isn't that what you said two days ago?

That they do.One way or another, they own all of us buddy.
It’s a good thing in that I’m not going to be tossed out in the near term. I still don’t trust them, but at least I can make general plans for the future (which is good as I need about another decade or more of employment).Congratulation Rob! (I think)

"Hey, Bumpus. Get over here and get your stinking dogs!"

Errrr... I mean, they're paying more attention to me, or at least it would appear.
They've suddenly thrown up a pile of restrictions on internet access and our little clubhouse here is one of the sites that I can no longer access during the day. That's going to put a sizable crimp on my Dis time, but beggars can't be choosers in this instance.

They need plausible deniability.
There's a guy I know who went for an interview. He just moved back home after being away for a few years. He interviewed for the job he previously had. He didn't get it. But the manager's kid, with zero experience, got it.
I'm in a pretty dark mood today, woe betide anyone in LEGO towers who rattles my cage. Ever have those days when it all feels a bit pointless?
This is a test of the Employer DisBoard Blocking system.
Let's see if I can get away with this...

I wish. That is a thing here though.
Morning boys from a grey and gloomy London, which is a perfect political metaphor. I'm in a pretty dark mood today, woe betide anyone in LEGO towers who rattles my cage. Ever have those days when it all feels a bit pointless?
