Well, here I am at my new job!
Yeah, gotta take a break from all this "new hire" and HR stuff. My mind is blasted right now and it doesn't help that I'm not feeling so hot either.
Sucks, for the first time in my life I am without health insurance and of couse I get sick. How lame.
Anyhoo, that's the update I got. They gave me a new laptop AND a BlackBerry too! Awesomesauce!Expert Moron Extraordinaire

Danger: Anyone who gives you a Blackberry will want you to use it 24/7.

Well, considering I work in IT and I've been "on-call" at one job or another for the past 12 years, I would expect that. Especially since the job I do supports a company with offices, literally, around the world.Expert Moron Extraordinaire

Sweet John, had a similar thing happened to me: I was rating a top 1% employee on fast track to senior management then my boss' boss changed, next review I was bottom 10% and that was because I had 2 typos on one BS powerpoint that I had to put together in 5 minutes for a presentation that the jackass had known about for a month. Then when I threw the BS flag on that, my boss said that his boss thought I was "intellectually intimidating" to him... Eff that, if your stupid, that's your own damn fault, not mine. When voluntary RIF's came up 4 weeks later, I took 6 months pay and walked out the door without a warning and started my new job a week later with a 30% raise, shorter hours, and less BS. Best thing I ever did other than marrying my wife.
I'm sure you'll find the same thing at your new job!There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin
