VanillaSkyGirl 6 #30 February 16, 2006 QuoteAs I posted in another thread, I got canned today from my job. It's a long story, but the short, one-sided version of it is that I refused to bend over to a company I was contracting with that was asking things of me that I believed to be unethical. Good for you, Michael! I have done the same thing in the past at two different large companies. Thankfully, I wasn't fired at one (they actually listened/changed) and left the other one, but I stuck to my ethics code and felt that it was completely worth it. You should feel proud for sticking with your convictions, Michael! Good luck with all, and stay strong. Something better will come along, my friend. I'll be praying for your family and you...

I'm afraid that I might find out I'm actually GHEY and that I'd actually leave my wife and kids and run away w/ YOU! (well it's quite possible, considering your endowment and all) QuoteSeriously though, I wish you well in the job market and commend you for standing up for what you believe in.

micro 0 #34 February 16, 2006 Quotegood luck, Micro. No doubt you will land on your feet and that company will get the karma they deserve. Oh Grecian One, thank you! And you're right! See, the research doctors that I have been working with, see, when they hear of what transpired today, I wouldn't be surprised at all when they pull out of the study and stop supporting the testing of the drug. Research in the particular disease I have been working in is a very tight knit group and everybody knows everybody. I believe in Karma. Which is why I'm not really panicking today. I miss Lee.

peacefuljeffrey 0 #37 February 16, 2006 I wish you luck in your employment search, but I have to wonder why the normal vibes don't work for you? Do you need something stronger than the ones that run on AA batteries? Or is it big, in terms of diameter, that you're looking for? j/k Good luck! --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

micro 0 #43 February 16, 2006 QuoteQuotethanks again everyone, salsa john, mike, paquita, rl, everyone. How's it goin' today, Michael? Any leads? What's your mental state? rl several good leads, including the contract position i interviewed for last month, before any of this was even a concern. (providence, perhaps?) the only problem w/ this lead as well as the others is time... all of these leads will likely take a couple of weeks... so I need to do SOMETHING to fill the void of for the next two weeks or so. mental status: quite good. feeling pretty strong, actually. had a VERY good call w/ walt and boinky last night, much laughter. good for the soul. and then another good call w/ michele. she's such a doll. and today, condolensces from my father. we've had a strained relationship most of my life, but he actually called me to tell me how proud he was of me for standing up for what I thought was right. It made me cry. He really does love me, and he showed it. That made my day. And he offered to help in whatever way he could. So, all in all, things aren't too bad. rl, i'll call ya later. I miss Lee.
