Popular Post LoneWolf Posted June 6, 2014 Popular Post Share #651 Posted June 6, 2014 It looks like I may get an interview for a position which has the potential to be less stressful, allow me to do what I enjoy, and not pay a whole lot less. I am grateful for the possibility. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted June 11, 2014 Share #656 Posted June 11, 2014 Performance bike...since they seem to be the only shop in town with PB ATB Fenders in stock. This weekend (Fri-Sun), Performance is having a big sale (as usual) but they are also giving triple points for team members. This means a 30% reduction, even on sale items. I have a couple items I plan to order. Check it out if you are a Performance Team member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted June 11, 2014 Share #658 Posted June 11, 2014 I won't be able to shop this weekend. You can order online. That's what I do. Driving 25 miles to the nearest store isn't worth it considering the cost of shipping versus 3 gallons of gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf Posted June 14, 2014 Share #662 Posted June 14, 2014 I am grateful that my interview went very well, though it may be 1-2 weeks before I know more. I am grateful to realize the strength of friendships that are stronger than I knew.

Square Wheels Posted June 17, 2014 Share #667 Posted June 17, 2014 For living to see my 50th birthday. As many of us have, I've done a lot of stupid things that should have prevented me from getting this far. I've been through a lot and have endured. I am looking forward to spending many more years with my wife, children, family and friends. I am also grateful for this site, this is a fantastic bunch of people. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf Posted June 22, 2014 Share #679 Posted June 22, 2014 For my ten-year anniversary this week, and for WoLW, the most supportive best friend I've ever had. For another interview that went very well. That KT has a new four-footed friend. That I have friends that truly care about me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingtermite Posted June 23, 2014 Share #680 Posted June 23, 2014 When do you think you'll hear back about the interviews this week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf Posted June 23, 2014 Share #681 Posted June 23, 2014 KT, All of them have a little delay; everyone has been honest that they have a few more interviews to do, and that it may take 1-2 weeks to hear back, so that I don't feel like I'm being ignored. I have a chance to hear back from my first one (a week ago) this week. I will probably hear about this one from Friday within the next 1-1.5 weeks. I'm actually glad for the spacing, it's likely to avoid one place offering me a job when I'm unsure, as I haven't heard back from another. My priority (in addition to praying) is looking to leave where I'm at before a couple of big projects that have a potential are at a point where (even if I've done everything in my power to make them go) if they go sideways, that's pinned on me. The workload isn't understood because my field isn't understood enough. They're starting to try and give me more help in certain ways, but I don't know that it will be enough, and friends I know in the field are astonished they'd put this much on one person. I've outlined the reasons why we could use additional help in a constructive manner, but I doubt I'll get as much as is truly needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingtermite Posted June 23, 2014 Share #682 Posted June 23, 2014 I hope things work out for you. I do understand the situation you describe. I'm in a similar field...just kind of the other end (software engineering). I change employers a few years ago and was having a lot of the same issues you describe. My manager, for a while, there did not understand software AT ALL (he was a hardware guy) and had unrealistic goals, work load expectations and set goals that were not only unrealistic, but made no sense for the work I did (he refused to admit he didn't understand what I did).

Square Wheels Posted June 23, 2014 Share #686 Posted June 23, 2014 Is that available for streaming on Netflix? "I went to the video store and asked if they had the movie with Nicolas Cage and Hayley Mills. It was shot in black and white on color film. It was the one where they lost the war because they made all of the submarines out of styrofoam. Then I realized that wasn't a movie, it was a dream I had. Then I thought how cool it would be to rent your dreams. The guy says, "that's not a movie, that was a dream you had." I said, "how did you know that?" He said, "you tried to rent it last week.
