chum1's dumb job stories

[stevedaveKSU]

I’m good with just one job. I wouldn’t be able to travel like I have been if I attempted 2. I had over 30 flights last year that weren’t work related. I’m already on pace to do the same this year. With that travel schedule and flexibility there’s no reason for me to even think about 2.

Holy crap. D2 just called me out of the blue and told me that his new company might have a remote opening for me. Lmao

He's still bffs with D1, who still does contract work for our former employer. So, he'd heard I was laid off.

I didn't gain any additional insight about what happened when he was fired. Still don't know what to believe about any of it. I did enjoy that he started out by saying, "I wish those people the best and don't have any ill will toward any of them," and then finished with a 15 minute rant about what awful people they are and that the owner needs to get some white paint to cover up the scripture on his office walls because he's rough ridin' evil.

You must make this happen

D2 also mentioned that his new company is the type to acquire other companies. Which seems true because they have all of these random ass locations on their website. So, another funny part of the call was him mentioning the possibility of the new company acquiring the old company. He said, "and if that happens, it's like, 'COO, you're gone. CFO, gone. Don't need you any more.'" I was thinking to myself, "oh, you've been thinking about this for a while." 100% chance that he suggests this idea to the new company.

for this to come full circle, i hope you work for him and his new company acquires one of the other companies that employ you.  everyone will be asking you if you’ve met the other chum1 yet.   you’ll have to join team meetings with two different laptops and only be able to turn on one camera.  this will turn into a movie.

Incredible! In the eye of your mind, who do you see playing the role of chum1? Feel free to cast the other principle characters, as well. I don't want to steal your chum1 thunder, but I'm thinking Matthew Lillard as D2.

I live in Eastern Time.
One of my jobs is in Central Time.
The other job is in Pacific Time.
Both of my bosses live in Mountain Time.

Trying to coordinate meetings and calendars is a pretty big headache. But the craziest thing about it is that I never know what rough ridin' time of day it is ever. Just absolutely no clue. Not even a guess.

Wild to me, we are wired differently. I had to deal with knowing Mountain, Central, Eastern, Korea, and Germany time during the last project, and while annoying I guess I innately knew when I could ask something and knew when I could get a response. If it was Thursday afternoon, I knew I am not getting an answer from Germany til tomorrow, and Korea was just getting into work and they would answer almost ASAP, but if it was Thursday night they ain't answering til Monday morning. It just came natural to understand where everyone was at.

I think 6-12 hour differences are easier to keep straight than 1-2 hour. I loved west coast projects because when I was working I would keep somewhat west coast hours. Sucks so bad getting a call at 6am from some idiot in Boston.

Based on this thread activity both of these jobs seem incredibly boring. Apply back at the old place in office.

I got an email from a guy in a local company that D2 used to work for. He told me who he was and asked if I was looking for work. Since I currently have two jobs that are keeping me kinda busy, I wasn't sure how I wanted to respond. I decided to tell him that I am currently working for a company on Pacific time (true) and that my mornings are wide open (not true). I said that if someone working part time remote could meet their needs, I'd be happy to come in and meet them. I didn't think I'd hear back. About a week later he replied saying that their original intention was for someone full time in office, but that they might be able to make my situation work. Yikes. I might be biting off more than I can chew.

This is not an opportunity to be taken lightly, you realize.
