Good luck Theresa - it's not fun but you also have nothing to worry about. It's done! Woohoo!

haha it's true! yay :D
now i just have to find a new job...

I was so scared to tell my boss. He took it very well though. I'm a wuss.

hah you missed me attempting to quit for like 3 weeks. i am also a quitting wuss.

You are both such girls. Oh wait.

hey peeps

hay beyonce! what's crackin?

my aging and arthritic joints

I kind of don't know what to do now that I'm back at my desk. :-0

oh hay my knuckles me crackly goodness!

xpost

dan, the answer is obviously to entertain me via witty posts.

DAN HUG THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU

Dan, are you going to take John's advice? Please advise.

tehresa - so sorry about the insomnia! Of course I do blame myself.

Not much going on here today. I will eat many cookies.

MAKE WITH THE UNCOMFORTABLE HUGGING

uhhhh so boss and i are emailing in real time. waiting for inevitability of him reading my resignation email and flipping out.

Awwwwwkard...

he seems rather irked. hmm.

2 more weeks, 2 more weeks...

Hopefully it will fly by for you. It's not your problem if he's irked.

i know, but god is he gonna be miserable to be around...

I suppose it would be rude to say, "yeah, this crazy behavior of yours is why I can't stay..."

haha might be just a tad bit too much!

hey he may come back with a bunch of flowers and a payrise.

not likely. i wouldn't take it anyway!

so not hugging anyone as it will be a one-way ticket to Sexualharrassmentville

I hear it's nice there this time of year.

xp That's right, you have to hold out for "sane boss," plus chocolates.

My boss has chilled quite a bit in the past few months. But his past insanity helped lead to my departure. Whatevs, so long suckahs, etc.

Do you have something else lined up, tehresa?

not quite. 2 very strong leads. one of them will result in a phone call at 5pm today that, if all goes well, could put me on a very slow (i.e. starting at the very, very bottom of the totem poll, but a very worthy totem poll) path to greatness. i am going to jinx it!

Sounds like you have some good possibilities... no jinxing allowed.

want to buy a guitar store?

I can paid you in promo CDs for it.

zzzzz can not stay awake!

I am eating yogurt to ward off a nap myself.

You've handled the nap but what are you going to do about the ZOMBIES

What kind of self-respecting zombie would eat a yogurt-eating hippy like me? They'd have to be pretty desperate.

but you are made of cookies!!!

Good point. I'd better hide.

I'm taking a package of Twizzlers with me, but leaving a trail of cookie crumbs going the other directions. I WILL FOOL THE MONSTERS

only the cookie monsters

Cookie cookie cookie starts with C

ack phone call delayed bc they are having some sort of craziness going on. now i have to wait for call back in 30 min or so... eeeek!

I love that Cookie Monster song.

Also "If Moon Were Cookie."

I have a whole Cookie Monster cd on my iPod.

I never pegged you as a metal fan!

I hide it well.

so my boss informally presented me with a job opportunity i was not expecting, but that (a) involves a pay raise and (b) involves benefits. i would like to take it, but a coworker of mine has been doing work in the department where the promotion is presented and is (probably) better suited and will be crushed when he does not receive it. i am not /dependent/ on the job, though it would be nice to receive the promotion. i am unsure whether to pursue it. can i do it in good conscience?

Oh I have no idea. Has the coworker been there longer than you?

Guess what? My Internets are slowly starting to work again. So exciting!!!! Except I don't want to get too excited; my ISP may just be having an accidental evening of mostly working.

coworker has been around for two years longer than me.

Hmmmmm. Any chance this person has declined being promoted for some reason? (maybe?)

yeah if they deserve it so much why is it being offered to you?
clearly either your boss is awful or they aren't promotable.
if you take it, you may be being a dick to them, if you don't take it, you're definitely being a dick to your boss.

I mean if you're in a position to question the management's decision-making ability in this matter then you owe it to the organization to get on the fast track to management so you can make better decisions.
