Start of the third week of the new job
not once has the boss called me into his office to see "this YouTube chick with the big knockers"

not once have I heard the Fword

not once have I been asked to sign someone else's name on a document (asked daily at the old company, refused every time) :eyes:

I'm LEARNING new technologies and business strategeries ;)

people are INTELLIGENT :applause:

oh and the best part? our HUGH kitchen is fully stocked. Food. stuff for sammies, candy, snacks, fresh fruit, coffee/soda/milk/OJ/lemonade, bagles, even *sniff* - beef jerky! :wow:

free.

life is pretty good.

:hi:

4. The best part is the free food.
That would ROCK if we got free food. Not like our multi-billion dollar company can't afford it, but... :eyes:

9. No need to worry - I bet your old boss would hire you back in a New York minute.
Sometimes job transitions are difficult.

19. I sign for my Grandfather's credit card purchases
He's arthritic and has a hard time swiping his card and then signing for it. I am always so worried that I am going to get busted. But my Brother (the attorney) says that the only time it would matter is if my Grandfather challenged the signature. So I buy gas, groceries, booze, all using my Grandfathers credit card. And he is very thankful that he doesn't have to use his arthritic hands to do so.
