Nessman's reply to DaKing on Groucho re: same subject... wrote:
Now maybe if Wegmans didn't hire it's IT people from "within", you and I could have been office buddies by now!

I've had 4 interviews so far... one of which I was turned down for, two I never heard back from and the last one was 2 weeks ago and I'm still waiting (they said I'd hear back in 2-3 weeks). That doesn't include the several face-to-face meetings with various recruiters... a few hundred resumes out the door, etc...

This job market really really sucks.

Pussy.

If I can play golf in 50mph gusts, you can ride a damn bike. Did it come with training wheels?

WHERE'S THIS FUCKING BEEN, GODDAMMIT?!!!!

We've been running the new iteration of a JC for almost a year now. A YEAR. And I can finally say that my man -- the best goddamn co-sysop on the face of the planet... IS FUCKING BACK.

Yeah, and he PLAYS GOLF. Next thing you know, he'll be having "business meetings" on the links and using the word "synergy" in daily conversation.

I should also state that King's advice for you (Ness) to go start moving shopping carts and work your way up was PRETTY GODDAMN COLD.

He should have told you to work at the helpdesk hung over like he did every day if he was going to tell you to get at the bottom of the Wegmans ladder, at least.

I expected as much. From this point forward, I hereby boycott Wegmans and Chase-Pitkin. We got a Tops here in Hamlin and they just opened a Lowes in Greece.

Tops sucks. Their decorum brings to mind veterinary hospitals.

I know the gas station/front where 'the lines' are moved through. Details to follow.

Hey, AArdvark, how does it feel, now that the pressure is on? The pressure to deliver? "TEH," as they say, "FUNNEY?"

And if I'm getting paid for all that... DAMNED STRAIGHT I AM.

I can be corporate. I have NO problem with "the man" paying me my salary while I play golf. Its a beautiful thing.

I had to toil almost 3 years in the stores before they tossed me a bone and offered that job in the helpdesk.

Again, they hire from within. When you have a company of 28,000 (or so) employees, there's a pretty good chance that one of them will be qualified for a promotion, rather than hiring some shlub from the outside.

I just writes what comes to mind. Actually, it makes me feel all warm and cozy, like I just watched 10 hours of Mr. Rogers while downing a 6 pack of something from Canada.
