Cancer Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Gotta finish the write-ups. Then two more next week. Oh, and I am being paid a small amount for these, $50 a pop. After I get the report form in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawnmower Boy Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Every little bit helps. I like this attitude, and will gladly introduce you to recruiters for our "Management Trainee" position, who will gladly explain why* ambition equals a willingness to do unlimited overtime at near-minimum wage at 2 in the morning. *It's because after we let you go for not having enough of the right stuff, you'll be able to get on at the bottom of the "Management Trainee" rung at one of our competitors. Don't worry. Eventually you'll click with someone! Or something else that starts with "c." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 I have worked as a supermakten freshwares manager -- I earned better after I burned out and just worked the register. More uncomfortable hours, but the comp for those were worth more than the responsibility comp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Yes it does, for the people who own the industry. Everyone else seem to be management trainees whose operations manual is The Screwtape Letters. L. Marcus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
procyon Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 It puts food on the table. So does dumpster diving behind fast food joints. Neither one appeals to me greatly. Of course, being hungry will change a persons outlook on that very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 No, that honor goes to Incredibles. Still an awfully good movie though. Bing Bong Bing Bong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
procyon Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Inside Out might just be the best Pixar movie yet. I'm not sure. It was rather uncomfortable sitting beside my spouse as she cried through the last 15 minutes of it. But it was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Haven't seen it. Not sure what was the last Pixar flick I did see in a theatre. Probably the first Kung Fu Panda, but I'm not certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
