yes puni, see post before, it was actually quite comical because it was a reference to needing to be more of a face in the community, (been here 5 months at the time), beforehand I had asked CEO's son what would be a good organization to join to get this done, he said don't join the young pros or rotary, join the country club and go to men's night.  so during my yearly (5 month) review I brought it up and that is when he said that "some people have things that others don't" line.



ps, I know the real world is not fair, etc.  but I will never forget that line...

Yeah, your boss is a knob.  He should have said "that kid got it because his dad is the CEO"

to further assure fellow ge elite's of boss' knob status, and because I like to type on here, 3 months later I informed him of Angel leaving, "good, he mumped up our tournament run anyways"

When managers are rough ridin' each other when married.

it took me quite a while to decide that fanning probably means that they are married to other people.  i'm not completely sure though.

Been on the acquiring side a few times.  Agree it's a good time to look around.  In my experience and generally speaking administrative services (accounting/finance, payroll, IT) eventually get wiped out and consolidated for sure.

How is that balance in the rap game?  Do you find it eating into your home life often?  Like your rap boss is constantly asking you to stay after hours or work weekends to finish up the big new rap the company is hanging all of its hopes on, but you damn well know that if it succeeds that sonofabitch is going to take all the credit to his bosses and you'll still be stuck at entry level cubicle rapping while he gets the bonuses and the sweet rough ridin' office.

I think most of his time is spent enforcing unwritten laws. Like killing the cats of people who have shot your dog.

Those are really good points by Bread regarding the rap game and the working conditions.  Rap bosses are probably horrible.


Somewhat unrelated, but still on the topic of bosses (which really are one the biggest reasons to look or not look for a new job), I saw a bumper sticker on a car the other day that said "My Boss is a Jewish Carpenter."  I was like "Wow, you do not run into many Jews in the industrial trade jobs."  But, then I was like "Wow, the Jews have so much money they are now buying bricks and mortar businesses, Glen Beck is onto something."  Lately, I have have had a ton of work done on my house, and most of the guys were Mexican.  There was one white guy, but he did not look Jewish. But, who am I kidding?  He could have totally been Jewish and I didn't even know.

I will be working for an agricultural financial institution, but it isn't a bank. They just opened an office in the new development two blocks south of The Chef   :thumbs: in April.  I will be selling money.
