wtf. What happened
Well it's a long story (of course), but suffice to say I finally got a new job after almost a year of searching due to a drawn out wrist surgery last year. I'm doing basic IT work for a sister franchise of an oil company that owns properties around the country. I work mostly at the local property at home, but apparently when we need to go elsewhere for a day job, they just throw us on their 6-man jet.
I just said I "wasn't sure if proud" because it's an oil company, and that doesn't exactly groove with my ethics, but I'm hurting for cash pretty bad. </whore>
I thought it was interesting though--the ceo introduced himself by his first name, and a sincere handshake, as he personally slipped felt booties over our shoes when we boarded, so that we wouldn't scuff the carpet I guess. Nice guy--who would've thought?
