More of this. Or…less, as the case may be.

I’ve been laid off from my job, so I no longer have my phone or my laptop. If you have a hard time reaching me, that’s why. Call the home number if you need me.
I had the follow up interview today. Met the team, the hiring manager (again), and the VP. The team is young and really want to know why I’d take a “step down” to do the work. The VP was slightly intense, but in a friendly way. The hiring manager told me afterwards that there were […]
…but just barely.
Working 3 full time jobs for half the salary of one. Relief coming, but not for another couple of weeks.
Are you guilty?
How much trouble would you get into if you …. adjusted your boss’s computer? Even just a little bit? An itsy bitsy teeny weeny bit. What about changing the sound for received mail to something like this?
Yeah, I thought it was pretty funny, too. So did the other fellows who have to share the […]

is watching. I’m all about documentation, but this seems excessive.
U.S. companies will need to keep track of all the e-mails, instant messages and other electronic documents generated by their employees thanks to new federal rules that go into effect Friday, legal experts say.
The rules, approved by the Supreme Court in April, require companies and other […]
Okay, okay, I’m getting to it!
The same day that the girls returned from England I started a new job. Same company, same department, but now I run the eBusiness team. Sweet. Damn sweet. I absolutely love it. I work harder than I have in recent memory but have enjoyed every minute of it so […]
I’m the only one in my position (out of 6) that is a father, but I have to work on Father’s Day. Even after someone else volunteered to work for me today.
I notified my boss that I won’t be able to work July 4th. The symphony is playing the fireworks concert that evening and […]
You may have noticed a slight hint of desperation in Monday’s post. Only slight panic. I posted that convinced beyond a doubt (yes, I know that’s what convinced means) that there was no possible way I would make it through the week, and it was only a matter of days, weeks, hours even before the […]
I need a job. They’re throwing me under the bus here….

I’ve been meaning to tell you about the new gig, but I’ve been ridiculously busy this week. I’m working at a Real Estate Investment Trust, helping them ramp up a call center. It’s essentially property (apartment) management, but the call center is responsible for setting appointments for customers to view the properties, and answering questions […]

starts today. And to think I was only out of work for six and a half months. Really, I was just getting the hang of it.
Bugger, I’ve come down with something over the weekend. I feel miserable. What a great way to start, huh? I’ll let you know more…
this isn’t exactly what I expected to see in my Monster Agent daily update. It is kid friendly, though.
are either “surging” or “we’re still losing jobs,” depending on how you read Kristi Arellano’s latest column in the Denver Post (sorry, the column isn’t available on the website). No, wait, it doesn’t depend on how you read it, it depends on what part of the article you read. The headline:
Metro-area jobs surge in 3-month […]
At my terminal I sat typing,
Trying hard to fight off napping.
When there came a slight, soft rapping,
Rapping on my office door,
Only that and nothing more.
Then I sat up, startled, freaking
Just to hear a voice a-speaking
“Your presence now I am a-seeking,
Seeking on the lobby floor,
Bring your badge and nothing more”
What is this I’m a-hearing?
Is it the […]
