Yeah, it seems to me that if they gave you a three-week trial period, they should at least give you a week or two to learn what they want you to do. I'm sorry to hear it. I hope the next opportunity is better for you.  :(

Sorry to hear that Fuzzy, but it could be for the best. It is possible that they thought you wouldn't fit in with the people already there. Quite possibly because they are all a bunch of jerks.

Yeah, that's kind of the vibe I was getting...   :-/

Wait, didn't Fuzzy say SHE decided she didn't fit in? Or am I the one misunderstanding that.

Either way, it sucks when a job doesn't work out, but at least you don't have to deal with the anguish of being fired. What REALLY sucks is job searching... again. Man.

Good luck!

I'm grumpy because Fall came very suddenly and with a vengeance. I had to wear a jacket to work today. *whine*

ALso, the AC in the building hasn't matched. So it's what we in the business refer to as frickin' cold in this here building.

I"m gonna go get lunch.

I'm grumpy because life is confusing. On so many levels. How can I feel so many emotions at once? There should be a limit...

There is. The limit on number of emotions at once is somewhere around 33 million.

But i've only got 2 emotions total?
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Actually, Ari can tell you all about the limit of functional emotional categories.  I think, even when you break it down pretty small, there are still less than 100.

I really think it's under a 100.  I'll have Ari check in and give her professional opinion tomorrow.
