Not to rub it in, but have I mentioned how much I like my new situation over the majority (if not the whole) of my old ones? We just received a metric crap-ton of work. For tactical reasons, we could not begin until today with the changes necessary ( Read more... )

Working again has been nice. Strange, huh? I've actually enjoyed it. I don't have the log in stuff or the badge one would normally associate with being useful, and yet, I have been ( Read more... )

I am hired. Full time at an insourcing company. What does that mean? Well, I'm working on a contract, for one company at another. Who what where?

You know, I just don't really understand how it is that I am such a drama generator. I wasn't even there. Ok, so... I have a tendency to have conversations in my head and bring other people into the middle of them. Let's start again ( Read more... )
