job searching is a biatch!

They are closing the call center at this location down, and work today is nauseating.

They let a bunch of my favorite sups go yesterday. Good people that taught me what I know. Bryan, our program manager, says they are cutting costs by reducing management overhead. Now all that remains of my once proud team of mentors are the obsequious sycophants, meandering the isles for another ass to kiss…anything that may help them stay one more week. And they are all the ones that suck IMHO.

Unisys had a job fair that I COMPLETELY missed due to the fact Sid didn’t know about it until right before I had to go to work. I am not sure I would have passed all of the PC questions anyway. Should I actually get an interview and should he actually read this:

Joe!! Care to give me the inside scoop?!

I spoke on winmess for a long time to John Chung, the big bad boss man in Australia, Singapore and New Zealand, for a long time yesterday. He said he was very surprised Microsoft would not have the “privilege” of working with me anymore, and that I have excelled rapidly and quickly since I was promoted to this position. Customer Satisfaction is up, error reports are down and things are flowing much more efficiently than prior to my arrival. He also said that what is happening is in no way a result of Microsoft’s satisfaction with the job APOC is doing. Trivial as the conversation may have been to him, I was relieved to feel a small amount of comfort in it. Better than the imperceptible appreciation an associate receives around here.

To anyone who has some ideas for where they may be hiring for a decent wage, I am all ears. These torturous seconds could not tick by any slower.

Ay me! Sad hours seem long
