The Job Hunt_How's It Going

[Jon Miller]

I know people who have had money problems.

I was covered for 3 months by the lab, and honestly my current money isn't coming from the grant that was suppose to pay for me (which ran out in Mayish).

What the hell are you doing going to Sweden if you aren't going to try to poke any of the fauna?

[KrazyHorse]

When it rains, it pours. Another recruiter called me today, and I just got an email from Morgan Stanley inviting me to interview on-site.

[-Jrabbit]

They snooze, they lose.

[KrazyHorse]

Yeah, that's basically what I said to the guy. They had promised to get back to me well within a week, and it was 8-9 days. I had told the first woman I talked to that they were under time pressure due to scheduling of onsite interviews with Goldman.

I honestly didn't get the impression that Morgan takes its commitment to getting the best possible people as seriously as Goldman does. For example, my initial screen was with a HR type who had no idea what she was asking me. She had a fixed set of questions to ask me, and a fixed set of correct answers. It was ridiculous.

[KrazyHorse]

That reminds me. I should take down my CV from the 2 sites I put it up on.

i seem to have won the publisher's clearing house unemployment sweepstakes: "you may already be laid off..."

[KrazyHorse]

Sorry to hear that, dude. Next time you want to hang out in NYC you can crash at my place (whenever I get one).

If you lock me out of my own house, however, I will get quite angry.

:laughs: i'm thinking this is a blessing in disguise. i've wanted out of this particular **** hole for a few weeks. i've a handful of promising leads, and i can always go back on unemployment. my wife is stressed out though. i woke her up when i got home. she's worried that we're going to get screwed over by my boss, but he's got his fingers in too many dirty pies to afford making enemies, and besides that, he's genuinely a decent guy, so i don't anticipate a problem with him.

and it was oerdin that locked the door, not me. i've also apologized to you for accidentally kicking you in the head. we should be square.

[KrazyHorse]

NEVAH!

[self biased]

how many other people have you witnessed urinating on a convent, eh?

[KrazyHorse]

You pissed on a convent?



I was too drunk to remember that.

[self biased]

it was either just after or just before we lost you for the second or third time.

[KrazyHorse]

I have no idea how I got back to Jersey that night.

[self biased]

you too? i vaguely recall john and i paying a cabbie nearly a bill to take us where we wanted to go.
