Job hunting in the new old world

[Miss Kitty]

Me neither. I broke out in a full body rash just "thinking" about putting them on. Although I do get "dressed" to come to my office, pantyhose don't go well with my fluffy bathrobe from Nordstrom's.

FYI- they called me in for a second interview and to see their corporate psychologist.
Apparently that is the new thing too. Was thinking of going for the fun of it, but then I would have had to wash the bathrobe

....I would be so screwed if I had to see the corporate psychologist. They would probably just let me borrow a "jacket" and whisk me away!

Peter Gibbons: You see Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.
Bob Porter: Don't... don't care?
Peter Gibbons: It's a problem of motivation, all right? Now if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don't see another dime, so where's the motivation? And here's another thing, I have eight different bosses right now.
Bob Porter: Eight?
Peter Gibbons: Eight, Bob. So that means when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That's my only real motivation is not to be hassled, that, and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired.

lovelovelove this movie !!! if i could watch it this weekend - that would be great !

Peter Gibbons: I uh, I don't like my job, and, uh, I don't think I'm gonna go anymore.
Joanna: You're just not gonna go?
Peter Gibbons: Yeah.
Joanna: Won't you get fired?
Peter Gibbons: I don't know, but I really don't like it, and, uh, I'm not gonna go.
Joanna: So you're gonna quit?
Peter Gibbons: Nuh-uh. Not really. Uh... I'm just gonna stop going.
Joanna: When did you decide all that?
Peter Gibbons: About an hour ago.
Joanna: An hour ago... so you're gonna get another job?
Peter Gibbons: I don't think I'd like another job.
Joanna: Well, what are you going to do about money and bills and...
Peter Gibbons: You know, I've never really liked paying bills. I don't think I'm gonna do that, either.
Joanna: So what do you wanna do?
Peter Gibbons: First I'm gonna take you out to dinner, and then I'm gonna go back to my apartment and watch kung fu. Do you ever watch kung fu?
Joanna: I love kung fu.

Panty hose will never, ever touch these legs again. Somewhere buried deep in the throws of this message board is a story about me and panty hose. They are not my friend.

KB, I hope you find something that fit's your needs and somewhere outside of Corporate suits. It is hard working for the man. I don't have a choice in the matter, but I do have choice whether or not I am going to wear panty hose or not!!!! And I am not!!!!

Thanks for the encouragement, y'all. They really want me back for the next round of interviews, as does a certain airline that would offer free flight benefits, but I'm trying not to jump the gun just yet.

Experience has shown me that if you hold a vision clearly enough, it comes to you eventually--you just have to be pretty clear about what it is you want. I *will* find a situation that gives me some creative leeway, sans hosiery, that allows just enough flexibility that I won't have to give up the music sideline that's so important to me and Mr. Blue. (His job as a software engineer allows for that, so I know it's out there somewhere.)

And in the meantime... ...if anyone's company needs someone to design graphics or maintain their internal or external sites, you know where to PM me... (how's that for leveraging pro-activity into business synergy?)

It would be funn to see what the psycholgist wrote about the blue hair, and green glasses. They would call you an "innovative thinker"
"A leader with vision", and say you were purrfect for the job!
