nfreeman Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Really? I never would have considered this a determining factor at all for a position I was hiring for. Is the standard different between industries? I think it's more a situation where if there are multiple good candidates, people can remove themselves from the list of finalists by blowing this off. Thank you for this, gentlemen... I just heard back from the HR person (I'd emailed he and the two managers with whom I met last week) and he said I am still very much under consideration and they are working on the next steps so I should hear from them next week. I hate waiting even longer, but so relieved to hear I didn't bungle that opportunity! Boom! Congrats. Of lesser importance, but still worth mentioning, is that this is another big victory for me over Whiskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattPie Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 I'm going to a brewery, Liger out. When do you figure you'll get back to the board tongiht?

shrader Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Home inspections are a crazy process, even on new construction. We had ours today and its amazing what they can find. Still, to me it counts as fantastic not only because we close next week, but also it was a very interesting process to be a part of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 A large group of projects I am involved with all seem to be coming to fruition. Hopefully by the Beginning of August they will all be done. I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biodork Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Had to wait for the ice to melt at my family's favorite lake in the Adirondacks, if you know what I mean. :) Ah, I gotcha. We had to wait between March and Sept. to do the burial for my grandfather for some reason, but they had the service in March. Sorry for your loss. :( In happier news: I've made a decision in my job search, and while this summer will be a little challenging commuting to Baltimore, in the fall I will be moving to Denver, CO! I'm SO excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I'll be going home in a week to spend some time with my dogs and family. Really looking forward to it. Life has beaten the hell out of me lately. This morning was no exception. Woke up with Hell's Itch on my arms this morning (look it up, it's agonizing and nearly untreatable). Haven't seen my family aside from a day and a half in late December. Will be nice to just relax and ignore everything for a few days. Will be going off the grid on draft night into Sunday morning which will be killer but worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it to calm but every now in then it just SUDDENLY comes back and causes a bit of a scream and a jump in panic for me. I have to leave for work in a few minutes. I'm honestly a bit nervous not only about making myself look like a fool... But about driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That article mentioned very hot water helps trick your nerves into forgetting the itch temporarily... maybe soak some washclothes in very hot water and drape on your arm? Might not work if it's upper arm, though. Good luck, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not work if it's upper arm, though. Good luck, man. Thanks. The idea behind the scorching hot water, as I've read it other places, is essentially to cause minor pain from the water which will kind of turn off "itch receptors." It's a good form of temporary relief, but I can't do it at work. I saw a couple people say you shouldn't shower for a few days. I'll likely just take a scorching hot one tomorrow to get clean then skip a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 'Tis a good day. Finally reasonably caught up on work and a couple of relatively important life milestones being passed today. Now, if my client reviews what I sent and we get it out the door, 'tis a very good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
