Yes, I hated it there but it was in a different department under different managers. I had a pretty good discussion about that issue with my new boss. He assures me that this group is nothing like the one I was in.

We will see about, that but I can put up with a whole lot for that kind of money.

Good deal HPM! That's got to be some sort of record!

very very cool

I just got my details firmed up today, moving allowance and what not. Now to get the formal offer letter, in writing - then I'll give notice! This is good!

All these new jobs and we're supposed to have such a bad economy. What gives?


chili - I knew you'd love that quote. You can actually order post-it-notes from despair.com with that caption on it. We have some here.

I dunno. I assume next week as they are arranging desk space for me now. The boss was pretty hot to trot.

Only bummer is I have to work on a Mac and there will be a delay getting my first check due to the glacial pace of Citi's billing dept.

Ah well, it's better than the alternative and it is still a big step up.

Oh please, I was just tinkering around with OS X. It pretty much works just like Windows XP (Are we surprised?) I'm sure you'll get used to it...

Me too.

No big news, I've been "interim" since November, but starting Sunday I'm official.

Try networking the two together. It's a nightmare. My office is half Mac and half PC.

Oh please yourself. I know much more about this particular environment than you do having worked in it before. Utilizing a mac is an unnecessary complication in an already convoluted system.

So, I guess I'm giving notice on Monday.

I'll holler before I go into the bosses office - if I don' post agin in at least an hour it'll be cause he threw me out the window.
