I would have left too.” 6:08:58 AM 8/25/05 “I would have slept outside. Tarp Rat didn't have a tarp? WTF?!!” 7:48:28 AM 8/25/05 “YOUR A BIG BABY AND SO IS YOUR LITTLE BOYTOY TOO!! now with that being said....... YOUR A SLACKER TOO!!! ok im done :) with a snake in his web, i think he would be pretty full for a while!” 7:56:25 AM 8/25/05 “Big Baby?? Naw!! She's naught butt and skellyton, covered in skin!! If I were Tarpyoid I would have made her look at the snake, just to hear her scream. "Yo, baby.....come look at this cute little..." "EEEEEEKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!"” 8:03:50 AM 8/25/05 “talking about his privates like that marko is not very nice! now say your sorry!!” 8:04:40 AM 8/25/05 “haha, you people are nuts!! :-D yeah it was extremely spiderwebby down the trail, Snowy...good thing Tarpy walked in front the whole time. that was one redeeming quality, even if he didn't bring his trusty tarp, Violin! ;-) okay well i guess after what's already happened to your left foot i can see why you wouldn't mind sleeping outside with nothing between you and the elements (aka spiders and skeeters), haha. Maple and MarkO can eat it!” 10:24:03 AM 8/26/05 “You should try sleeping under the stars sometime lyra. They tell me its nice.” 10:39:10 AM 8/26/05 “Just don't try it here: ”10:39:42 AM 8/26/05 “oh projectile vomit. haha, i tried looking up "projectile vomit" images to post, but it was all way too gross!” 10:45:05 AM 8/26/05 “ ”11:02:44 AM 8/26/05 “IVE GOT MY EYES ON YOU LYRA 11:04:42 AM 8/26/05 “awww, coochie-coochie-coo! :-D” 11:12:52 AM 8/26/05 “A few weeks back I was working and saw a small fly get caught in a spiderweb, not bad, just one foot. I watched the spider cruise down and slowly and methodically wrap the fly up for later, it took ,like 20 minutes but dang it was like wild kingdom in person.” 12:03:25 PM 8/26/05 “I should post pics of all our pet spiders for lyra, we feed some of them mice and they are as big as a dinner plate :)” 1:09:40 PM 8/26/05 “This thread reminds me of my nephew's job. He works for Terminex in southern California. He has to crawl under houses and all that good stuff. No WAY could I do that job.” 2:52:02 AM 8/27/05 “I'm thinking you wouldv'e been ok unless you saw 2 Hobbits traipsing around inside looking for a way out with one of the bigger ones following them.....and then mumbling something about a ring, the end of the world and a BIG EYE.....:-)” 3:17:55 AM 8/27/05 What would you do if...... “you sorta accidentally found out that your job was posted on the internet at monster.com but you boss hadn't mentioned anything at all to you, nor sent any real signals that you were about to get canned?” 9:05:58 PM 9/29/05 “start looking for another job without them knowing” 9:09:22 PM 9/29/05 “Is there a reason why they would fire you? They can't do that without a reason, right?” 9:10:48 PM 9/29/05 “Miss Opie, all they have to say is your not doing your job..bam your gone. It is your word against theirs if you want to challenge them about it. Roam, maybe they are wanting to hire someone for you to train then you get a big promotion and raise last edited: 9/29/05 9:14:46 PM” 9:13:35 PM 9/29/05 “you have paid sick days?? take them!!!” 9:13:57 PM 9/29/05 “What would you do if...... “you sorta accidentally found out that your job was posted on the internet at monster.com but you boss hadn't mentioned anything at all to you, nor sent any real signals that you were about to get canned?” Roam Around 10:05:58 PM 9/29/05 Apply for it. hehe” 9:17:17 PM 9/29/05 “LOL...good one LMG yeah do that and see what she says.” 9:24:16 PM 9/29/05 “that could backfire on you, then they know you are looking and may let you go anyway” 9:28:12 PM 9/29/05 “i thought about applying for it - that would be funny. Knowing what I know about our departmental budget and such, I'm pretty sure they aren't adding a layer.” 9:36:48 PM 9/29/05 “CO is an "employee at will" state. Meaning anyone can quit or be fired at any time - they wouldn't even have to give a reason.” 9:37:41 PM 9/29/05 “best of luck to you. Time to get that resume up to date” 9:39:47 PM 9/29/05 “Sounds more likely somebody put it there as a prank. Maybe your boss (thru spy program) saw YOU scouting for other jobs. You could also be getting promoted.” 9:40:29 PM 9/29/05 “I've not looked on any of the job boards. A friend that works in the industry saw it and thought I was leaving and hadn't told him yet.” 9:42:04 PM 9/29/05 “I think its a vast accounting conspiracy!” 3:28:49 PM 9/30/05 “Maybe they posted it in hopes you would see it and have incentive to work harder.” 3:30:59 PM 9/30/05 “Maybe I'm too bold...but.... I'd go ask my boss about it.” 3:31:07 PM 9/30/05 “... but there's big money to be made in polymeric polygons.” 3:31:29 PM 9/30/05 “I think you should find a TT woman to date for a few days, break up, move someplace great, then come on here and whine about it for the rest of your productive life... Seriously - I have no idea, but good luck!” 3:32:06 PM 9/30/05 “Have your friend apply and list you as a reference.” 3:33:10 PM 9/30/05 “...work number and all.” 3:33:40 PM 9/30/05 “yeah, I'd go ask, I certainly wouldn't be doing anything to help them out if they were looking to do this. Make copies of everything you need first though.” 3:33:58 PM 9/30/05 “yeah what WayToo said......make copies first. Nothing wrong with a health dose of paranoia” 3:35:47 PM 9/30/05 “Maybe they are just adding another position with the same title. Yeah, I would just go ask your boss.” 3:36:43 PM 9/30/05 “Carlette?!? Ok, so that "Ette" Halloween name isn't you? I'm confused now. Yup, gotta ask Roam. Be honest and straightforward. Don't be Beaver Cleaver. LOL!” 3:36:56 PM 9/30/05 “I LOVE HPM's idea!!!!” 3:37:08 PM 9/30/05 “That is pretty good. Whatever you do, don't walk into your boss's office, slam a printout of the job offering on his/her desk, and scream "WTF IS THIS #&%!$!?!?!!!" that would be bad.” 3:39:02 PM 9/30/05 “ooopss..lol ...Pix I can already see this wireless network I set up between the downstairs and upstairs is gonna cause me problems.” 3:45:13 PM 9/30/05 “Yeah, I thought about that approach bit, but decided patience would be better. At least until Monday.” 3:49:42 PM 9/30/05 “Make backups of anything you need, start looking, and don't say a thing to them. Play that hand close to you. They don't need to know that you know. You may even be wrong. I like HPM's idea, though, of having your friend apply!” 3:57:51 PM 9/30/05 “bit - that reminded me of a story I heard last night. A friend of my sisters is a teacher. The princiapl of that school had to fire his daughter who was also a teacher. She told her hs math class to "Shut the Phuck Up!!!!" Pretty funny. Maybe teaching wasn't a good career choice.” 4:39:35 PM 9/30/05 “Yah, teaching's probably not for me, either.” 4:44:24 PM 9/30/05 “makes ya wonder how Gremlin survives don't it...” 5:05:37 PM 9/30/05 “Here we go again. I love my new job. It is the job I have always wanted. I love the animal rescue part! the stories that I have been invloved with are so much fun. I do see some pretty bad things but there is always another animal that needs rescuing right around the next bend. now with that being said, here is the problem. while at work today i was called into the office. I thought oh crap what did i do now? Mellisa told me she was leaving the company to go to another company and she is looking for a replacement. Now her job is a New Hope Coordinator. She finds rescue groups for animals and gets homes for all of the animals that are having a hard time getting adopted. She works with all of NY and NJ and New England rescue groups. She works with the Mayors Allence. She has a great great job. So she wants me to take over her job. Now mind you I have only been at this job for 6 months. with the position comes a HUGE pay raise. It is such an honor to even be thought of. I am so torn right now. I love the rescue part (plus I look hot in my uniform) I love being by myself all day just driving around. But I am 40 and i need to look towards the furtue. This may never come around again. Of couse if I say yes, i have to be accepted from all the big bosses. But to be recommended is a good thing. what the heck to do? HELP!” 5:52:55 PM 2/11/06 “Go for it! Congratulations. :)” 6:40:00 PM 2/11/06
