On second thought, having monster for a boss... week after week the staff shaves seconds off their personal best job performance... with the slowest sent to the meat department. Fair but deadly comes to mind.

so funny.

Monster, that is really great news! And I am sure they *didn't* see all of what they're getting. I think they probably said "Huh, no red flags here, let's hire this one for the office staff, and keep on moving down the list." Any generic application you filled out is solidly in the under-promise/over-deliver zone. You know. They'll see.

Congratulations!!!!

it was the number nerd thing they liked -my job to make sure all the products scan correctly, UPCs etc are correct, and shelf labels are correct and sales labels are timely etc. not necessary my job to do all of those things personally, but I won't really be the boss of anyone, I'll just have shitty jobs for them when they're sent over (because they've been bad somewhere else ). Detention Mistress if you like

But knowing my luck I'll arrive on Weds and it will be nothing like that..... but at least there can't possibly be any predecessor's shit to sort out.... can there?

Right, you'll be setting precedents daily, or do it Wednesday then say just do it like we always have.

Congrats Monster! Welcome to the workforce.

Was to have lunch with my granddaughter tomorrow and she put it off till Thursday. Best laid plains are WTF. But it saved me from looking for my cleanest dirty shirt and shaving in morning.
