Friday Rant - Today Sucks

[Corvin]

Do they honestly think I'll be committed and not looking for another job?

Well, there's an opening where R didn't get in right?

Dan - yeah, that's gotta be pretty disappointing. I know it sounds cynical, but this probably won't be the last time something like this comes around for you. Oftentimes, people are no good for their word or their handshake. And a contract is only as good as the litigator you might be able to afford, and, that's if you even want to plant a flag on that hill. One of the more salient things I've noticed in this economic downturn is that the nature of others' characters becomes a little clearer. There's some who emerge as a class act, and others who are the straightup assholes you may or may not've always suspected they were.

At any rate, to leaven the cynicism a little, what we get in a situation like yours is an opportunity to practice being one of the class acts. I can promise you, it'll come in handy some day.

Have a great weekend!
