that’s the look of love
ummmm…no…not exactly.
You see — I told my boss today that I was updating my resume.
The look of SHEER PANIC on his face was indescribable.
Well.. maybe not.. it was something like this:
I actually had a moment to worry about the guys ticker. I mean, he *did* have a heart attack just over a year ago and he’s only 46!
He looked at me…
I looked at him….
I said “Look Boss, you HAD to know this was coming. I mean, we haven’t closed a SINGLE LOAN this month!”
His response — “But I’ve been making my sales calls and we are working on it.”
You know what people?
My company is at least 90 days in arrears on MOST of it’s bills and they just asked Grandma to take a week off WITHOUT pay… WHY is it so shocking to The Boss that I’m looking for a new job.
Rapper and multi-millionaire Jermaine Dupri just closed his restaraunt “Cafe Dupri” here in Atlanta with NO NOTICE. Workers showed up and the place had been shut down! Paychecks were bouncing, utilities were shut off….
If HE can’t keep his place open, why the HELL would I believe that my boss is going to honor his “word” that my job is “safe”. Uhhhhh-huh.. pull the other one.
And, the funniest thing The Boss said when I dropped this little golden nugget on him today?
“Well, as long as you aren’t sending your resume OUT.”
Yeah, you keep thinking that boss, and get back to me later okay?
+++++++++++++++++
Radio people called me last night.
They want to set up a face to face interview with SEVERAL of their head honchos next week.
Hmmmm…..I think they really like me. 
I have doubts, but it can’t hurt to go to the interview, right?
I told an employer once that I was thinking of joining the RCMP, and not long after I was called in her office to be told they were letting me go because they would rather let me go then be left hanging when I’d leave… I never joined the RCMP and never said anything to any other employers after that!
Good luck with the interview, I’m sure it will go well, they are intersted, obviously!
Paying bills is for suckers. That’s why I keep changing my name and moving to new cities.
Well…you were nicer than I was. I walked in one day with a box, cleaned out my desk, dropped my letter of resignation on the Presidents desk, sent an email to corporate telling them that I had fallen out of love… and was out of there in time for lunch!!
Do what’cha gotta baby! Take care of you first. ~~Dee
Good luck with the looking part. My least favorite is all the stupid interviews. How many times can you answer the same questions over and over again. But so cool with radio.
Good luck with the interview! (people are morons LOL)
stinkypaw — see, this is what I don’t understand. I’m trying not to burn bridges, trying to do the right thing — hell, I’d LIKE to get a good reference, you know? But I came into work this morning and got: THE COLD SHOULDER from both The Boss and The Bosses wife. WTF?
pistols — ahhh… Big Brother is onto you and they are closing in. Quick.. you better move again!
sexywhispers — well, I actually did something similar at my LAST job, so I know that feeling.
Heidi – yeah, “selling myself” is just silly and you can never truly know someone until you either work with them or live with them. ha..ha.ha.
Randi – thanks! trying to set it up for next Tues/Wed… but now, asking for time off at work is going to be a bigger pain than it was before!
Hey you’re not suppose to leave before he dumps you.
Good job.
Mike — OMG..that’s totally how it feels! As a business owner yourself, what would be YOUR take on the situation?
Good luck! but I’m sure you don’t need it.
I’m super green with envy. I need a new job with the quickness.
Go to the interview and see if you get a good vibe. Good luck!
I am sorry things have gotten so slow…definitely go on the interview…good luck!
What a dumb ass thinking you aren’t looking for a stable job. Good luck with the other I hope it is a great opportunity for you.

.nicotine.queen. — super green? ha.ha.ha. sorry. I just had a flash back to Chris Rock in The Fifth Element.
Finn— I’m going next week. Got it all arranged.
Princess E — it’s only going to get worse too! The govt is doing away with the Down Payment Assistance program in Oct – which is the only thing that has been fueling the poor mortgage industry for the last year. Soon, EVERYONE will have to cough up 10-20% down payments, just like in the 50’s and 60’s. I don’t know about you, but *I* don’t have that kind of money!
Queen — Yeah, that’s kind of what I thought. Thanks! I’ll go check it out, you evil tagger you!
i love the mentality that bosses have where they think you are so loyal you will go broke working for them when in actuality if they were going broke they would dump you like yesterday’s news
go shine at the radio station!!
thatgirl– and THAT is *exactly* the mentality they have. Actually, I think it’s worse than that… they would use me for as long as possible and then dump me SANS paycheck because there is no money in the bank!
You realize if you leave, bigmanoncampus and wifeypoo are going to have to purchase their own dirty books. No more stealing yours from the crapper.
And to ignore you….HA
Did you sing all day? I would have done stuff to piss them off. In a nice way of course.
peace
