TAN#155: TANkful Yanti's still alive (Page 31)

Exactly. Actually, I'm dealing with that right now. My grandpa is getting frustrated in his old age, and has decided that no one is doing anything right, so he constantly is telling everyone what they are doing wrong. We have all gotten much better with dealing with rude/negative people through this.

But if that is how they want to waste their energy, that's up to them. I'm not gonna get dragged down with them.

Take the high road and kill 'em with kindness.
Especially if it's over email and other people are Cc'd. It will quickly become apparent who the a-hole is.

Sure am. Just got given my 2 weeks. It's amazing here... we are behind schedule, which means we're losing money... so they are laying 15 people off. Like that's going to help them get on schedule.

*hug*

- any kind of severance package? I hope?

Time to move to the states?

That's exactly it. This is the second time. First time was a HUGE blessing. This time, I think it will be, too

I can sympathise.  I'm 9 months looking...

Lisa, after 3 years of working here, I get the privilege of working for the next 2 weeks and being paid for it. Awesome package, right? 

Cord... It's a thought, but a batch to get a job/visa, and I am just now eligible for my professional license, so I'll probably stick around.

I laugh at them.  Seriously, they say something rude and you just laugh in their face.  They just don't understand and it confuses them.

IE, the sandle incident earlier.  He says that and you just laugh at him and walk away.  It probably pizzes them off that you are not taking them seriously.  I love getting under someones skin if they are jerks.

Financially, it's a good move.  They don't have to pay 15 people all the holiday time.  That's why I have no hopes for getting anything untill 2012.  No one will hire me on, just to pay for the holidays two weeks later.  But it does feel a bit "Scroog-ish"

Thanks, man. I appreciate it.

I just read an article saying that Miami, LV, and LA are 3 of the worst job markets right now.

I don't mind not working, but the wallet and savings are not a big fan!  There is just no market for civil engineers on the west coast (I include Vegas and Pheonix, etc).  Mostly east coast and I heard up north.

Yep, no joy.

Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.  I just know how scary and awfull it feels and I get anxious for you...  What do you do?  I can check out the story here.  I know people from all walks of life here.

Oh, no no... I appreciate the sympathy. I know what you've been going through, so I know that you can really sympathise. 

I'm not sure you'll be a lot of help... I am a civil engineer Though I don't want to do that, I am not a designer at heart. I have a couple leads on project management jobs up here that I am goign to be following up on, but my real passion would be to work in sports in some, any aspect.
