wow. that was disgusting.

Wait a minute, let me get this straight...... You're complaining because a guy won't stop trying to make you feel good?????? I mean, come on....

thanks! you're smart.

I'm a private consultant for a company that does govt contracts. they landed the contrarct and set up the deliverable schedule. i just make sure it gets done. i also manage the team/project. then i give them an invoice at the end of each month and tell them how many hours i spent on what.

Thanks! Oh, and my leg muscles thank you too! So, does this mean we get to chase you around with whips, to keep you going? haha. sure!

I'm not sure I completely understand all the tax lingo, but I'm a private contractor. So essentially I work for myself, pay my own taxes, etc. I just bill them monthly for the hours I put in. Make sense? Gee, if I'm entitled to more money.... by all means, tell me!! My specialty is instructional design... by no means is it finances or contractual stuff!!!

Yup. All of this is very good advice. Thanks! The job market is kickin down here for what I do. I'm not so worried about landing a new job before I leave this one, but it is a good point. I think I will write a letter, but give verbal notice first. I don't think any counter-offer will help. They are on this schedule for a reason, and there is no budging. If they try to shake the client for more time, they are likely to lose 3 million in business. I'm not sure they are willing to take that risk for the well-being of their employees. As I just finished telling someone in a PM, I'm not the only one. Apparently more than 1/2 the team is looking for jobs, and three people are out today at interviews. This company really knows how to treat their employees. Too much work... not enough jumping. OH, and check this out!!! I have made a grand total of THREE jumps this winter!!! The past two winters I made close to 100, took trips to Florida. Yeah, this job is killing me.

I love my job. I love my team. I love the project. But... I'm exhausted. I think yesterday was the last 15 hour day I had in me. As much as I love this job, they have projected 12 to 15 hour days through the end of September, with no time off. I do get paid hourly, but there is no overtime. Regardless, no amount of money is worth killing yourself over. I need to reclaim my life. I posted my resume again last weekend to see if I would get any hits. Two interviews so far for next week. This blows. I'm going to miss working with these people. Oh, accept my boss is psycho. I won't miss her much. So, how do I give my two weeks notice?

Thanks! Oh, and my leg muscles thank you too!

Wow, Crystal, cool!! That sounds like a great trip! Wish I could go with you! Have fun!

Well, I'm back in it.

Sweet!! It'll be good to see you! I won't get in until 11pm Friday, or else I would offer you a ride for sure! Good luck!

A headdown kiss pass. That always rocks.

nah, nah, na, boo, boo... i got my reading before you!

Girl, you have NO idea how timely that message was!!!! I so needed to hear that! Thanks!

*sniff, sniff* now i'm homesick, thanks a lot! that's it..... I'M COMING HOME FOR A VISIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU I couold not remember G-LOVE for the life of me I've always been a big fan of G-Love and Special Sauce!

Or the fact that the sink is gone as well as the stove. Its now kinda pointless as a RV even though it kinda looks cool. How many people who have trailers at the dz actually use their sink and stove???? How many are actually functional?

okay, so far... looks like you guys are having fun! BUT!!!! dead rat????? EWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!
