Post #410,185 by drook 5/18/16 2:44:20 PM 5/18/16 2:44:20 PM Reply	And the beat goes on 5/6 I get the offer for job 1, expecting to start on 5/16. 5/9 I take the interview for job 2. 5/11 I take the second interview for job 3. 5/13 I get a call from job 1 saying they didn't have the laptop and desk ready for me, so I'll be starting 5/23 ... probably. An hour later I get the offer for job 2. (Better offer.) Projected start date 5/23 - as long as the background check comes back before then. 5/18 I get an email asking to call 5/19 to discuss the offer for job 3. Don't get me wrong, it's a good problem to have. But damn, people, you've got to get me in the door if you want me to stop talking to other people. -- Drew

The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov

Post #410,207 by drook 5/19/16 10:20:59 AM 5/19/16 10:20:59 AM Reply	Not cynical enough Ohio is a "right to work" state. If you're not up to date with the Orwellian/American translator, that means employers can terminate employees at any time for any reason, or no reason. And that's after you're working for them. As far as I'm concerned, "in the door" means in the door. -- Drew
