I Called In Sick Today

[Napa Lite 3,278]

I do a lot of traveling in my shoes and a lot of walking in shitty snow and mud. If I'm outside a lot I wear my workboots.

my employer has insane turnover. it is sort of built into their business model. but in general I would pretty much disregard what HR thinks about how long people should stay in a job. at least for entry level stuff, I think staying where you are for two years is a horrible waste of time. my company's policy is a year, which is really stretching it.

 

I hear about people staying here 15 years and only becoming a manager recently and just want to throw up.

[Napa Lite 3,278]

Who are you talking to?

[InternetExplorer 2,609]

shake and the HR people telling him to stop thinking he needs to switch jobs and get paid a fair wage

[Essay21 2,385]

You can tell he genuinely cares about others, and I love that.

 

I think Essay has a little of that in him as well, actually.

 

no i don't.

for, um, shake

Dammit, why does brvy have to be so damn sweet?

 

The only way to get a real raise is to leave your current job. That s the way it is in banking. Hires from within have a built In salary structure based on where you started. So, if you didnt negotiate up from the beginning, you'll always be underpaid.

 

I don't know about all fields, but that's a fact in banking, and if I had to guess, most large companies.

 

 

Edit: also, Titly is right again. He's money on the business stuff, and telling people to be confident. Funny? Meh, but otherwise, spot on.

[iZuma 764]

hey I'd love to be able to disregard hr people's advice but considering they're the ones that actually decide whether the hiring manager even sees your resume or not, it kind of makes them hard to ignore.

 

but ron is definitely right that the only way to get a real raise is to change companies. of course you can't admit that when applying, idiotically enough.

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

I finally had to nut up and buy new tires for my car. Over $900 later. Ughh. Getting em put on Sunday. Looking forward to it. I've been overdue. Now I can go back to stepping on the gas when it's raining and not worrying about spinning em. And I can corner like a badass again. I hope

 

[InternetExplorer 2,609]

my résumé is hoppier than any lagunitas brew and neither the advising shop nor the current employer blinked an eye at it. so, your mileage may vary, I guess.

[Napa Lite 3,278]

Nobody has work for me to do. Good thing we had mandatory Saturday work hours.

[Napa Lite 3,278]

On the plus side...can't wait to go to the gym and shred some free weights. Been having to settle for my bands and occasionally a weight machine at the hotel the past few weeks.

 

Tomorrow the two Mario Kart-less girls are saying they're going to make us dinner.

 

Thursday our girl friend from college is saying she's going to make us dinner.

 

Friday two friends from college are coming down and then were all going out to a piano bar for dinner/drinks to celebrate college girl friends birthday.

[iZuma 764]

none of which will actually happen

[The Ocho 970]

A piano bar, in Iowa?

[JubilantLankyLad 1,957]

Hahahahaha

 

A piano. In Iowa.

It's a shame that when that kid inevitably falls to his death, everyone will instantly just shrug and be like "told ya so". It's obvious he has some real talent for something, and it's just sad that it's going to end tragecally. The worst will be if it's someone else's fault somehow, and how everyone will just assume it was him being stupid.

[brvheart 1,752]

A piano bar, in Iowa?

 

There's actually a really good one in Des Moines, which I'm assuming Napa is talking about. I doubt there are two really good ones.

 

Anyway, several nights a week they have a dueling piano thing that's really cool.

[brvheart 1,752]

Also, I'm not making a sickie list, because I would happily hang out with everyone.

 

However, if you forced my hand it would look something like this:

 

1) Everyone in the whole world.

2) Satan

3) Tilt

 

(just kidding, Tilt. You would edge out Satan.)

[Napa Lite 3,278]

LET ME DREAM SHAKE

[InternetExplorer 2,609]

I'm pretty sure satan makes my hangout list. would like to try my hand at outwitting him.

Dueling pianos, now that sounds like Iowa. I assume they have to borrow a Piano from Illinois though.

You should add the qualifier, "if it's convenient"

[Essay21 2,385]

Napa let the haters hate and watch the money pile up. I got plans with the lady tomorrow too and that's for sure gonna happen. So you can take that to the bank.

I'm sure you could confuse him.
