Popular Post Dottleshead ★ Posted May 15, 2019 Popular Post Share #10 Posted May 15, 2019 I'm really happy for RG if he found employment. Being unemployed for long lengths of time can be very demoralizing. I think he's had a good attitude. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First day they took me to lunch where I dined on a $19 burger that was good. I was given a fancy water bottle made of metal, and a similar coffee cup that I will use for tea to confuse everybody. Then I was given a polo shirt and a jacket, both monogrammed with company name, and today two more navy polos were given to me. I can only assume there is a surplus of polo shirts, but I am appreciative nonetheless. Everybody seems nice and very smart. Since clients could conceivably visit at any time, I must dress well. This will prove a hardship because my 3 positions in the last 11 years have been hypercasual unless I was meeting with clients. Since much had been done on the phone, my business clothing was a minimalist’s minimal. I must find things to wear, even pants. I will be bargain hunting Saturday for sure. Today there were the previously mentioned donuts of malevolence, then at five they had chips and beer in the conference room, where a couple of guys let everyone know what happened at a TechData sponsored conferencey shindig in San Diego that they went to. I have much to learn before I am functional. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the Chinese have adopted the Ohio diet vices, I will have to learn to just say no. Curious fact: there was plenty of coffee in the office, but only Lipton tea. Normally this wouldn’t be so curious, because ‘murica and all that, but the Chinese generally have an appreciation for tea. I will get to the bottom of this for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
