It was a hit. Well, so too is Yahtzee, you jerk.

Brian,

Good luck.

Perhaps you could use your Operations expertise to suggest a model for reducing the amount of time members of this forum waste by scrolling through ignorant remarks. Perhaps by suggesting a more conservative use of the "Enter" key and "spacebar" by certain posters.... or incorporating a democratic "polling" feature to vote on the removal of mean-spirited, childlike forum members. Just in your free time...

Hey, FP is kickin' down here!! You're missing an awful lot of live 5.5 furlong dashes run by some of the finest of horse flesh.

Well some would, I'm sure, contend that by ceasing to post I would create a good opportunity for efficient forum management time. I'm too busy focusing on process improvements that directly relate to moving up the ladder here.

Oh, good old FP -- can't wait to get down there sometime!

If you get a chance this summer, take a ride west to Jackson Raceway. Get off I-94 at the first Jackson exit, go south and turn right at the old prison.

A sure sign of ineptitude is one who copies someone elses work.

I mean I would not have chosen PP.....



....but mediocrity from the mediocre is predictable.

Hey man,
Even if you think you tanked the interview, don't sweat it compeletly. I'm happy to announce that I finally f'n landed a new job that starts at the end of this month, with a subsidiary of Dow Chemical called FilmTec. And as far as I know, we won't be manufacturing Napalm lol.

But! It was a long hiring/interview process. I had to take a standardized test, wiat a week, take a phone interview, wait two weeks, get a face-to-face interview, wait another week, and finally get an offer, and then wait 4 days to go in to meet with a guy for the formalized offer. And now that I accepted the formalized offer, I need to wait a month to start.

Oh ****... I keep getting off-point. Back to the phone interview part. It was with an out-sourced hiring group out of Ohio. They weren't a part of Dow at all. They guy who interviewed me, sounded so extremely disinterested in what I had to say. He didn't even wanna list all of my prior job experience and qualifications, because the way the "computer system" was set up for him. I remained calm, and didn't ge5t too pissy with him, because this guy could shut the door on me getting a face-to-face interview. Well, I thought it went so bad, because of his disinterest, that i wasn't even expecting a call-back.

It seemed like this out-sourced company had agents running phone interviews all day, and it was like I was just another person in line of about a million interviews that person had to do all day. I must've caught him on a bad day, or he just doesn't give a ****. But I thought I was screwed, but I thought at least I was polite. So maybe I made more of an impression that I thought, or maybe as long as I didn't sound "retarded" they gimme the face-to-face. I'm not sure which reason got me to the next step.

The long and the short of is, no matter how bad you think it went, you never really know... So I hope you think it went well, and good luck with the process all together. Have a good weekend
-Pete
