GRRRRR. I applied for a position at a company an ex-manager works at. It's basically doing what I was doing before I took my current position. He pointed out that it's a hard job, but if I was interested, he totally thought it would work. I sent in my resume, someone emailed me to set up a phone interview...and the woman on the phone interview was basically like "Well, are you currently doing X, Y, and Z (kind of presentations)?" and I was like "Um, no, not in my current job. But in my previous positions, I did X, Y, and although I didn't do Z, I was on the other side of it, and have seen and critiqued a number of them. Note that in the position, I STILL wouldn't be doing Z, but would be present for it. Maybe doing a small portion of it. She was like "Well, I'm sorry, that's not good enough. We only hire people with experience with X, Y, and Z, or internal candidates. You could apply for (my current job) and hope to get the position later". I was like "Do your people in (my current job) do X, Y, and Z??" (NOBODY in my current job does X, Y, and Z), and she was like 'Well, sometimes. Maybe." GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

So I emailed ex manager and was like "Thanks, but no thanks, don't want to take the same job I have and hope for an opening some years in the future, they don't seem to think I"m qualified" (I might as well do that at my CURRENT job, where I already have years in and people who think I'm awesome!). Hrmph.

than complaining about the loss of a tool for legal filesharing

I don't have a legal filesharing tool. At least not at work. If I need to send someone a file larger than 5MB, I have to burn a CD.

I am pretty loyal to Proactive. I've tried other things, but they don't keep the acne at bay like Proactive does. And, yes, I am 44 and still have acne-prone skin. I like to think that means I won't get dry skin and wrinkles.

I have acne and wrinkles, which I consider totally unfair.

That *is* totally unfair.

That sounds stupid, meara. Interviewing is the worst.

For my part, I missed the call I was supposed to have at 4 (was stuck in a meeting until 4:10) and haven't heard back about rescheduling. ARGH. I would be more concerned if she hadn't canceled on me last week for similar reasons....

I promised myself I would focus on work today and get a lot done since last week was so not-work focused, but no one is asking me to do anything interesting, so all I have left is time sheets and evaluations and gross stuff like that, and I DON'T WANNA

Shit. Time sheets. I definitely have to do those today.

Thanks for the reminder, Lee. The popup alerts were totally not doing it.

I didn't do mine last week because I took the day off/worked from home the day they were due because of Perkins, so now they are twice as gross.

I didn't do mine because I'm a slackery slacker. I have no good reasons. I just suck. I'm good with just about every deadline except that one, strangely. Even the other boring ones.
