You may want to consider some consulting/contract work while you look for work, and if it works out well, you may find you can work for yourself instead of being on someone else's timeclock.
Companies who have had to reduce headcount often still need services, and have contract dollars they can pay for them.
And check around before you set your hourly rate, if you decide to hang out your shingle. You can probably command a nice hourly rate, which is necessary partly due to paying all of your social security tax (instead of half) and because you will need to maintain your own equipment, systems, etc.
Anyway, just thought I'd throw that out there in case you hadn't thought about it, but it is a third option to the two people have mentioned here previously.
No more proxy!!!
 :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :ooh: :ooh: :ooh: :ooh:
I'm afraid I don't. Care to enlighten me?
And to answer another question, yes, the entire company was laid off (it sounds more impressive than it is, two people in total).
Thanks for the insight on the job market Ares. Hopefully I can get something better than I had. I might try the contract route, my old contract firm tried calling me a few months back, perhaps they're still looking for people.
And I was feeling on top of the world earlier.
:frown: :confused:
You are right in that we're our own worst enemy when it comes to criticizing ourselves. I think it's because you know that you can do better and that you shouldn't have made the mistake to begin with. Where others can forgive you, you have a hard time forgiving yourself.
It's 7/7 time now anyway. Maybe it'll help.

Another irritates - Having this feeling that I'm not going to make it to the end of this year.
Who know's WTF is going on today with my head. Must be that damn swine flu acting up again. :eyeroll:
it's all in your head.
:frown: :neutral:
and a bff and gf.
just sayin'
for research purposes.
they are now giving out rain checks
Only one fast food experience topped that though. A Wendy's drive thru where I had a missed item on an order, and I wasn't given a receipt. I went in to tell the two employees running the place that they missed an item on my order. The drive thru employee shrugged his shoulders, and the apparent manager accused me of making it up, like I was trying to get a freebie. I'd never been so insulted, and have never been back to that location. No amount of apologies would cover that one.
I learned a while ago complaining to management doesn't seem to resolve problems either. All they do is try and toss a coupon/freebie at you to appease your frustration, instead of correcting their processes, or reprimanding their employees. This happened at an Arby's. I gave them two chances to correct their problems. After my third bad experience in a row there (due to incompetent employees), I gave up on that location too.
Anyways, to sum up my experiences, in fast food, I have learned I have to have low expectations of service. I've had far too many problems in the past, and nowadays I just consider myself lucky if my order isn't screwed up :smile:
I should be more thankful about that though. The more inconvenient it is for me to put up with fast food shenanigans, the easier it seems to make my own meals at home :smile:
I left and haven't gone back. But I did print out four coupons. :smile: I doubt I'll go through the trouble to get the rain check, however.
the sea-gulls had a fun day :smile:
was worth the $5 for 10 mins. of excitement.
but when I turned the dome light on I saw that there was BLOOD all over the side of the bag and inside the bag and wrapers went back and asked for the manger and he came to the window and he had a rag like a bar rag around his hand he was the one packing food and handing it to the kid at the window to hand to me!! it looked like I asked for the gm's number and info also asked for corp. info he said he didnt know it the guy was 20 at most!!! and he said I would have to look it up since he didnt have it! so I said I would call in the next day to get it and he seemed to come up with it really Quick at that point!
then I told the GM and the guy I talked to at Corp. that he was trying to cover for himself and they where shocked YA RIGHT!!! they sent me out a free meal deal and it could only be used at that one it said on it!!!!! so I still have the ticket for it if anyone wants it!! lol I wont eat there!!!
We knew of hiring freeze, no wage increase this year, no gain share and no 403b match, but yesterday they dropped the bomb of there will be layoffs....
At noon today they laid off our entire maintenance/grounds crew staff.... :frown: :sad:
On another note - they found a confirmed case of swine flu in one of our buildings today. I don't see anything in the media just yet but I'm sure they'll be all over it since it's now in the cities. :eyeroll:
to NOT go inside.
Oh yeah, one other thing...........They all call themselves Restaurants. Huh? They are factories with productivity timers and beepers everywhere.
A few times I've parked and gone inside so I could study the menu, but then what's the point if I'm going there for something to eat because I'm in a hurry?
As I mentioned at ThursdayÂ’s All-Personnel meeting, our current financial challenges require us to take a much sharper look at all aspects of how we operate this institution and manage our resources. One area where we found we can make significant cost savings without jeopardizing our mission is by contracting with an outside service to clean and maintain our campus.
Beginning Monday, May 11, campus cleaning, maintenance and custodial services will be performed by representatives of SDQ, one of the regionÂ’s leading and most experienced providers of these services. SDQ currently cleans more than 35 million square feet of office, warehouse, medical, industrial and educational space in Minnesota and has been a leader in recycling and use of green cleaning products and technology. The grounds and parking lot will be maintained by another, equally reliable, service provider, Cutting Edge Property Maintenance.
Uh Oh...look what company recomends them....
“Janitorial services have been a headache for me for many years. Repeated complaints and poor quality work made building cleaning services one of my biggest headaches.
Since SDQ has been providing custodial services to my properties, complaints have been substantially reduced and quality has improved. They provide excellent service with competitive pricing.
Thanks to the people at SDQ I spend less time dealing with cleaning issues.“

All I want is the $1 double cheeseburger. If they ask if I want fries or a drink that I didn't order.......I just proceed to the cashier without answering. That really messes up their mechanized rhythm.
Yeah.......and now to get a $1 double cheeseburger, they force you to use their advertising by asking for a McDouble.
