Good luck Muddy.

Dude you are already playing with house money.

Awesome to hear, good luck.

And now I got a first interview set up with Uline - Friday morning - and it gets even better: before the interview they require I take two tests involving math and numerical recognition.

In other words, I am moving straight to the front of the line.

[reno cool]

Does this mean you quit the job you just got?

 

[Mudcat]

No, I haven't got the job with Uline yet - I have only set up a first interview and testing.

If I actually got hired, then yep, it would be adios to the job that I am scheduled to start next Wednesday.

Sorry all y'all - you've been great to me - but I gotta do what I gotta do.

I think you should full time both for a year to show company A what a good guy you are

 

[reno cool]

yeah I meant that. I guess there's no way to tell if my sentence implies will quit or did quit. Anyway, where's your loyalty Buttcat

 

[Mudcat]

Oh yeah, your verb tense can actually be taken either way. I took it the one way at first but I'm sure you meant the other.

Verb tenses ----> they'll git ya sometimes.



Loyalty though. I am hoping to find a place I can be loyal to. Unfortunately circumstances have put me in this temporary position of being a loose cannon. Possibly. I haven't even started the selection process at Uline and that may go nowhere. But they are so good I gotta take the shot.

Either of these jobs I feel I can be loyal to. I hope and believe my next job can be my last job.

Because I'm old and the night is full of terrors.

Okay, interview with mega-bux warehouse operation in 2.5 hours.

bidding war for muddy's ass

 

[Mudcat]

Whoa.

 

[eggs]

Yeah he's basically the Durantula of the warehouse industry.

 

[Mudcat]

4 separate interviews at the one joint today. And then they asked me to sit and wait for a 5th guy - but it turned out he had gone into a meeting - so we will talk on the phone later.

Kinda feeling pretty good about the whole deal right now. I'm sure I aced their numerical agility tests - so I don't know if they already had those results and that's why they kept me around longer than everyone - or maybe I'm just that damn good at interviewing???

I don't know.

Even better, it seems like day shift is a real possibility - even probablility. I'm pretty sure the posting I responded to was for 2nd shift - and I was ready to pay some dues doing shiftwork - but based on the conversations today - day shift sounds likely.



Don't want to get ahead of myself but it was all like whoa.

 

[eggs]

So we're on pace for roughly 20 interviews then.

 

[Mudcat]

Pray for me. I know it doesn't make any difference but I just find it really cute when people pray for things.

 

[Mudcat]

So I'm done at that joint. We had a pizza lunch in my honor yesterday and today was my last day and I did all the goodbyes.

I'm outta there.

Pretty glad. As nice as most of the people are it really was a pathetic warehouse operation which I did not enjoy being a part of.

New chapter begins tomorrow.

Gonna find out in about 30 minutes if I am on strike or not.

Gonna find out in about 30 minutes if I am on strike or not.

From the money you make, WTF you going on strike for? Better benefits maybe? No wonder Illinois resembles a bankrupt corporation! Lol!
