Well...Scott the President wants me as part of his group. (Dancing aorund my place). Tomorrow he presents it (me) to the board. Keep on crossing your fingers and toes, although this next step is a mere formality. Once that is done, we pick my start date.
I love technical companies and how they do interviews. Scott met me in Starbucks in his jeans and a Mozilla Firefox polo shirt (of course it was); no socks and some comfy slip on shoes. We sat in the back corner and basically, chatted.
I remember when I interviewed for ATG. The senior IT manager flew down from Oregon to take me to dinner. He wanted to go to a brew pub and sample the local brews over dinner. That was my job interview. He handed me a contract and we signed it over IPA's and pizza. I loved it. Banking is soooooooo not like this.
I miss the forward thinking, their ability to think outside the norm and redefine how a company looks. There is no pettiness within Scott's workgroup and very few women. I hate to tell you ladies, but a great many of you thrive on drama in the workplace instead of just getting the job done. You are more worried about what "Jane" is doing and what she is wearing and who she is seeing and why she gets to do whatever, then to sit down shut up and just do your job.
There, I said it. Are you men applauding now?
Until next time...

My imaginary lover isn't a gossip - it is so unappealing in a man.
