I suppose the day has improved slightly. SO far, there have been no complaints
back from my email list on my severe posting this morning. I must confess I ran it
by the other moderators first only partly to get opinions as to whether it was too
sever; the other motivation was making sure we had a united front, in case anybody
started complaining to them about me.
On a more depressing note, I
heard of two more people leaving my company today -- one voluntarily, one not. The
one "not" is a friend of mine. I just don't really know what to do. I got a call
from a recruiter yesterday, about what is essentially my last job -- scads of
money, possibly no overtime, and dead boring. I like it here better, except for
the ever-present fear of layoff. I've chosen my current job over one offering less
interest and more money twice now: once when I took it and once after getting
another offer. So I suppose my values are clear....but the money is still
tempting. Rudder, of course, keeps telling me if I take it I should buy him a
plane. At least he's not pressuring me to take it for that reason. If I did, I
could afford one, even though I'm not nearly as good with money as he is. But it
would still be MY airplane.
Which reminds me, one of these
days I really need to go flying again. I'm extremely rusty. One of these days, I
also need to write about flying here.
