outsourcing is soooo overrated the time you have to spend (maybe waste is a better word) to get something done, not to mention frustration...

The CEO's don't think it's overrated. (Gotta get the money for those 7 figure bonuses somewhere)

Yikes... on a brighter note (for me, anyway), I didn't have to go to work today! I mean, I went for two hours anyways because I had to calculate final marks, but that's it. _________________ Wanna trade? My Drama List (UPDATED: July, 2013)

yeah, all they care is about earning bigger bonus while skimping on manpower. The less people they have on the payroll the better, while they hire $200/hour consultants because those are booked on another budget (typically projects) IMO it's just a waste, those overpaid consultants earn my monthly paycheck in like 2 days U Suck

Yep, until recently I actually enjoyed working with consultants, fresh input and truly added value - but nowadays they come in as quick fixes Shake Head

LOL! I'm not actually on "holiday". We get a day off for every class we have to mark exams for, which is an afaik deal because I had to mark two exams per class. Anyways, I only took two days off, even tho I have three classes. I marked all one day, decided to enjoy the other. Big Grin

I STILL hate my immediate coworkers. Except the pre-merger ones, they're still cool. Fortunately, i've finally been invited to the monday pizza luncheon. It only took me 6 years to get in on the weekly invite list.

I don't usually swear (unless in context Naughty

) so it's fun using replacement terms. Afaik is more satisfying than saying "crap". hehe

And besides, only some people get it, and that's fun too.

Is that why he got his bonus taken away?

Tomorrow is the first day of the New Semester and I have NOTHING ready for the first day of classes... hence why I'm hoping for a snow day. >>fingers crossed<<
