Are you willing to move to DC or Chicago?

If you want out of your current position, see how long the first firm will give you to make a decision. Let them know you have a couple more interviews, but don't delay too long. If other things don't work out by your deadline and you are sure the potential new position is an improvement from your current one, take it. If you later get an offer from someone else (like your preferred Vendor gig), apologize to new firm and take Vendor job. You are a free agent. Look out for yourself.

Reputation is that corporate gigs move slower than law firms in deciding who to hire, so realize that you might be waiting some time to find out on the in house position. Of course, if you have an offer in hand, that may speed along their decision-making process. If all potential positions are through the same headhunter, you should have the headhunter let Vendor know when you receive an offer from one of the firms. Added bonus: makes you look like a hot commodity.

They're all different head hunters. I definitely want out of my current position, but the timing will be tricky. I called the in-house contact today (only one that is not a head hunter) and they are still in the 'collect and review' resume part of the process so I may not even make it to the interview phase. They are well-known, so they are sure to attract non-Beantown candidates. That position is a month or so away from the offer phase, it's also a new position. The other two positions are plodding along and are also new positions so they are in no hurry to fill them. I find out tomorrow or Monday if I have an offer from the other firm. They are on the fast track. The position has been vacant for a month.

Having just bought a place, I'm hesitant to move. I've also managed to eke out a nice spinster-friendly existence in The Hub. I've always liked DC (but not sure If I can handle the humidity). I haven't been to Chicago excpet for a long ago trip to visit friends in Lake Forest. Attn: mmmmmm123456789 could you hook me up with a soccer team?. Maybe I should go to Chicago on vacation to check the place out...

(that last sentence is soooo wrong)

We'll see what happens tomorrow. Cart, horse and all that.

Clearly, Mr. Man has been kissing and telling. You should sue him.

We obviously don't have the same reading list. Phillistines. Yeah, I'm talking to you as well, MR.

This'll teach me to take a board moratorium. I can't wait to find out what else I missed. Better break it to me gently if something more shocking happened....like Sebby procreating, Lester taking vows of celibacy, or Slave joining the Democratic party.

So sorry, but current frontrunner for Biggest Pussy in the World is Waddah Mustapha, one of yours.

Its a good schtick I think the board enjoys it. However as inky as my pigtails are, I am still not going to band either of you. Though if I had to choose, I woudl go with you bc at least I know my ass would experience some serious skillz.

I have a "no analingus on the first date" rule and, from what I've heard about you, it's very unlikely there would be a second date.

Sorry.

Don Henley must die. Don't let him get back together with Glenn Fry. I do find Joe Walsh mildly amusing, though. The James Gang kinda rawked.

I can't figure out which I loathe more, the E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES!!!! Chant, or the Eagles' Album Catalogue (oh, there are no exceptions - its awful, from the first note picked to the last... Joe Walsh was like Neil Young in CSNY - soooooo much better than all the rest put together... you can tell that he just joined the Eagles for the $$$$).

I used to wear Armani Acqua di Gio, but I haven't worn cologne in years.

Dude. Once you're there maybe we can share clothes! I'm a warm spring, no plaids, navy blue=black, kind of guy.

He's from Windsor. It's probably Hank sneaking across the border again.

Airline employees are among the rudest people on Earth.

They are only one step above cabbies (who should be rounded up and slapped, then shot).

Not sure I completely agree with you. I travel a LOT (gold status, baby) and have generally found that airline employees treat you how you treat them. If you smile and say hello, etc., they will usually bend over backwards for you. Yes, occassionally one of them is having a bad day and you need to slap them around a bit, but that has been the exception to the rule, in my experience.

This actually might be a good poll: what's the rudest thing you've ever seen done or done yourself to an airline employee or, conversely, the rudest thing you've seen an airline employee do to a customer.

I'll start.

So, I get done with a mediation early and I head to the airport in an attempt to get on an earlier flight. In front of me there was a woman who was trying to get on the same flight I wanted to get on, but it was very full. The ticketing agent told her that should could, indeed, get on the flight, but she would have to be ticketed for coach and be on standby for first class.

From the woman's reaction, you'd think the agent just told her she was fat, ugly AND stupid (Hi ltl!). Apparently, this women paid for a first class ticket and, to quote, "would NEVER sit in coach." It was "completely unacceptable." And this was not a rude fat, either. She was actually pretty hot, until you uncovered the very ugly sense of entitlement.

After much screaming (seriously, she was yelling so loud the entire airport had to hear it) about how she paid for a first class fare and deserved to sit in first class and there was no way she could bear sitting in coach (with all the proles, I guess), the agent finally got her to calm down. He carefully explained to her that first class was full, that everyone who had a booked ticket in first class had also paid for their seats, that many of them paid more than she did, and that when you switch flights, you are not guaranteed the same class/fare code as the seat you originally booked. He told her that if she really felt that strongly about it, she could just wait three hours and use her original ticket and fly first class.

She finally relented and took the coach ticket after he said they would give her the first class meal and drink service. Funny thing is, the agent didn't even put her in an exit row, though I know some were available. Probably b/c he was so fed up with her.

When I got to the counter I laughed and made a comment along the lines of "some people." We chuckled. I then asked to be put on the exact same flight as the woman in front of me and asked him if it wouldn't be too much trouble, I'd also like to be put on the standby list for first class. He said: "No problem. You've been such a good customer for us, MR, that I'll put you at the top of the list." He asked me if I wanted an exit row aisle and I accepted.

When I got to the gate, they gave me my boarding pass for first class, while the bitch sat toward the back of the plane in coach.

I hope she enjoyed her chicken breast and pinot gris while slumming with all the proles. I'm sure the smell from the bathroom complimented the whine's bouquet quite nicely.

ok, I'm going to put spoiler space, in case I fuck up the spoiler text, so if you haven't seen the movie, scroll over this fast, but I have a burning question:


































When Obi-wan alters the coded signal to warn the other Jedi to stay away, who is he referring to? I thought that Yoda and Obi-wan are the only two remaining Jedi at that point. Who am I missing?
