Hi Lpherr

 

[Lpherr]

Howdy Lpherr. I'm gonna make it tomorrow morning. I'll take pics to show how it's supposed to be. I promise there will be sausage visible in the gravy.

Hello Doggy!
It's not polite to show off.

 

[ancjr]

He charges you to eat at his house?

Sorry... can't get purple on this tablet.

No, he is surrounded by terrible restaurants and insists on eating at them.

Hello Greg!

 

[Lpherr]

No, he is surrounded by terrible restaurants and insists on eating at them.

Invite him to your house and show him some good food.

Howdy Mr Lpherr

Hello Doggy!
It's not polite to show off.

No brag, just fact...

 

[Lpherr]

Things at work are getting really lean. We only have about 40% of our dept. left and there's talk of 4 plants shutting down. I hope ours isn't one of them. I honestly can't believe I still have my job at this point, but am glad I do. Even though it's completely miserable. Our pay is down about 30% and the work load has doubled. FJB!!!

 

[Lpherr]

Hello ancjr!
I wish I could step out the back door and shoot off some .308.

 

[Lpherr]

No brag, just fact...

I believe you.
I would like to try your cooking.
I'm sure it's much better than mine.

If you do it often enough, everyone leaves you alone.

 

[Lpherr]

Well fellas, I have to get my shower and head for the sheets. That alarm starts screaming way too early.
I wish you all a wonderful evening.

Have you started looking yet? Before I got my current job, my previous employer was decent enough to give us all about a year's notice. It was a phased termination though. I was lucky enough to be one of the later ones.

I started applying with my current employer as soon as I heard that and it took me nearly a year of sending, revising and resending resumes. No human actually viewed them, so I had to get creative with their resume-scanning algorithm.

I started using all kinds of "key words" (COBOL and JCL being two of them) to the point that the final version was darn near unreadable to me. But I got picked. Got hired, twice! First offer was for a lower salary grade than the second offer. I had to call the HR department to see what I was supposed to do. They said, "Turn down the lower grade offer and take the higher grade!" So that's what I did.

Anyhow, that long ramble was just to say, get your resume' in order and keep it updated. Maybe even get a LinkedIn account (as much as I loathe that, because it's not what it was back in 2009 when I first got on there).

Sleep well. I'm not far behind myself. But I don't have to get up in the morning for work since I'm not working.

Nite Lpherr

Yeah, I've had a belly full of it. Can't WAIT to get back to work.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I'm just taking tomorrow off. Friday is my regular day off this pay period. 4 day weekend!

 

[ancjr]

I'm working for Miss Daisy tomorrow.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Bedtime for me. G'night all!

 

[ancjr]

Goodnight Mr DD
