I think the power of my sneezes should be harnessed as a new energy source. I sneezed so hard yesterday I thought I was going to pee my pants. And I never stop at just one sneeze! They're always in series of 3 or 4!!

Later this afternoon, I will be on the phone discussing my next possible job opportunity. My desired salary range was do-able. Hopefully they meet me at least half way, and then we discuss when I'd start. They said that my start date could possibly be pushed back to May, but I wonder if that is dependent on pay. Otherwise, I may suggest starting April 1?

At first I said mid-March, but with this Vegas thing...I don't want to have my vacation days too close to my last day.

I have a co-worker who's always been very loyal to our company whose gotten extremely bitter and unhappy in a very short period of time. He is planning on leaving, and it could be soon. I hope he leaves first! I can't wait for an exit interview! I wonder if I'd end up burning bridges...not a really good thing to do, but I'm definitely going to let them know how the company did not meet my expectations which were laid out from the beginning. I might mention some of the things that my boss said to me at my 3-month "review" that I was going to talk to HR about anyway.

So I've been working from home the last couple of days, and I've sent my boss updates, etc. Today is our weekly team meeting. I sent him an email telling him I would glad to call in for the meeting, and of course I get no reply to my email. Oh well. 

I also got some Facebook message from someone I didn't know. She asked me if I had been looking at her profile and talking to her sister. I wasn't sure if she was accusing me of anything, but she came across that way. I told her that I hadn't been looking at her profile, and that I didn't even know her sister was on Facebook. (I worked with her sister a while back, and her husband was my manager for a while, too). I tried to end on a bitchy-happy note to tell her sister that I said hi.

I hope all goes well for you.
The Facebook thing -- gee how insecure can a person be? You were right to be friendly on the end note.

I don't know if she had an issue of having her Facebook profile looked at, but if she did, she should have set it to private!

I hope this new opportunity works out better than the last one!

I really hope so, too. Even if they meet me at the low end of salary request, it'd still be more than I've made so far! The work would also be more challenging and fun. And I'd get to work with an old colleague again! Bonus!

That facebook thing is weird. I would have wanted to say "Um, not that I've been looking because I honestly have no interest in what your sister does, but isn't that the POINT of a soical networking site? If you don't like me being able to see your sister's stuff, tell your sister to change her privacy settings." But that's probably why I have less friends than you do! :P

I wonder if the crazy lady will write back? Or maybe I will find out some drama?? Oooh la la. What I don't get is why people de-friend people on Facebook. Just don't accept the friend request in the first place! Geesh!
