So I'm doing the workshop. I turned the lady down and the next thing I know the Principal is talking to me about how he's behind me 100% and how I should just "go for it". :doh:

Yeah, Sensei, "Go for it!" I don't know if you've ever done one before, but you'll probably have to sooner or later, so use this one to make all the mistakes you won't make the next time. :victory: [/list:u]

As it turns out, they already found a replacement, so I won't have to do it until next year. :victory:

That's the one :)

As it turns out, the boss was as p'd off about it as I was. Anyway, the rest of the day was better :)

So we had a SLEW of great news from our division COO today... well some of it was yesterday, but i wasn't at work yesterday.

Firstly.. we JUST missed the Forbes 500 list this year, we were short by $87 Million. "Please adjust your email signatures accordingly." Yeah, like i EVER put that on my email signature.

Secondly, one of our customers got busted by the SEC, and we'll be losing another $21 Million in revenue fiscal 2007.

Thirdly, because of said customer meltdown, our quarterly incentives will be cut to 4%.

Fourthly, again because of said customer meltdown, they're letting people go. One of which is our former VP MILF, now Executive Manager MILF who is now Unemployed MILF. She was the only person that kept a few of our customers from jumping ship when we were bought, and she actually knows people in our industry and how the industry is run. I forsee another $100 Million in revenue leaving this year solely because of that. Our manager (also a EVP) is taking her spot, and he barely even knows what his department is doing let alone the industry.


Im updating my resume again this weekend.

*sigh*

Yikes. I've heard there were lots of good financial news today. Maybe it'll go better in the next few weeks, but it's never really good news when great people leaves. =T

I tried to search what MILF was. I don't know if you made a typo, but according to wikipedia it seems it means either Mother I'd like to f... or Moro Islamic Liberation Front. :hehe:

Flip a coin, I'll call heads. :hehe:

Considering Krim posted this, I'm sure he means that one.

I work for AT&T and the CEO of the company, Ed Whitacre announced he's retiring on June 3rd. I was reading the press release and my head almost exploded when I got to this part:

He'll collect more than $161.6 million, including $73.8 million in deferred compensation and the $84.7 million in his pension fund in his retirement package. He'll also make more than $1 million per year for three years as a consultant for the company, according to AT&T's proxy statement. During that time, his benefits will continue and he'll get some tax help, including the payment of about $15,600 in taxes per year.

:angry: [/list:u]

More good news related to last week.. the account manager that got laid off last week has been rehired in a different position, account supervisor, w/ a pay cut and he's now hourly instead of salary. But with 2 hrs of OT every week, he'll make the same as before.

WAY TO SAVE MONEY, you bastard liars.


yeah, tabana, the wiki was correct. :mrgreen:

Nice retirement package!


On topic: Work is boring today :(

I wish I had that kind of retirement plan. I hope the company is not loosing money. =T

Porn magazines have text? :beaten:

According to the old joke, yes. People buy them for the articles.

Nice. Since she lost her job, does it means she's now a desperate housewife too? :P Although she's a decade too old for me. The only older woman I'd date might be Matsushima Nanako.

Maybe she has a daughter. You should check that out too. :mrgreen:
