    I think if I said that parents might get upset.

    I saw a great t shirt the other day. It said: I'll try to be nicer if you'll try to be smarter.

    Sadly, I don't think I can wear that to work either. Although it is true. I have lots of patience for kids who really are giving me 80 - 100% day in and day out.

    I get to escape the current batch of idiots!!!!

    Sorry, had to gloat a bit.

    OK, back down to earth. I'm trading this batch for a different batch, in a different geographical area. But maybe, just maybe, during the "honeymoon" phase, I won't know they're idiots. Maybe?

    Moving sounds wonderful! Will there be a glass ceiling? Can the smirking, do-nothing/credit-taking boss sit under it this time and get a concussion trying to get through it? I'd drink to that!

    When I read this thread, I'm glad I still don't have a job except I'm busier than ever and really haven't had the time to be biking full time.

    Life is pretty good without the aggravation of work.

    Trade you? But I'm afraid if I really vented here I would be I love my job

    But seriously, I don't expect privacy online nor should anyone. Most of you could just show up at my door "Trek420, I presume?" So especially while looking for a new job I'm just not criticizing. I love it here.

    There's some funny stuff I could post but even that I'll probably leave for the cartoons I'll do when I leave. I only work for the comic inspirations our managers provide, that and the free post-its and pens.

    I'm sure I'll remember those days soon! For right now, I'm excited to be starting work (at home) again tomorrow, since I can't drive for a few weeks and I'm bored out of my mind at the moment. I'm starting to wish I'd moved into a more walk-friendly neighborhood.

    Sometimes it's hard to soar with the eagles when you're surrounded by turkeys.

    Of course, the inspiration posters happen to show bald eagles with this little caption, and being a biologist, I know that bald eagles are more likely to be carrion eaters than golden eagles. That and I know that wild turkeys are actually pretty smart birds (farm-yard turkeys, not so much). So I get confused by the whole inspirational phrase

    I think NY Biker was having a rough day at the office and just wanted to scream like a banshee. For those of you that are currently underemployed, unemployed, or work out of your homes (compensated or not) - you can still have days that just make you want to SCREAM!!

    Off I go to work where I'll face yet another in a parade of webtools to "make my job easier". If you're a consultant, c'mon down. But why don't you try to use what you've built for us while doing my job? Betcha can't.

    In this economy there are plenty out there who would buy tickets people who count these things say approx 6 applicants for every job opening. That does not include the 10 or so applicants who've given up looking.
