I am too good for that Mr. White Trash Man with his shower beer.

I drink shower Lagavulin, like all classy men.

Frankly, I'm sick of people on here not being classy.

I walk on the street side of the sidewalk when walking with women.

I hold doors open for women.

I ask politely before anal sex.

I never bring up the topic of a woman's age or weight.

I say "thank you" after a woman finishes doing her duties and scrubbing the house.

Everyone should try harder to be like me. . . to be classy.

Going on my 7th week of joining a new firm in a consulting role. I have yet to do anything of a meaningful nature other than train. I am a remote employee and the communication has been limited at best. This company was just awareded one of the top places to work and has numerous mentions as one of the top technology companies. My experience so far:
  • Day 1 - The person responsible for hiring me and who was to be my direct boss tells me that she is taking on a different role and they will be bringing in someone to take her place.
  • Training, training, and some more training
  • Crickets, crickets, and some more crickets
  • End of week 3 - ask my current/former boss about some work and she assigns me to a new person who sets a meeting for the following Monday afternoon.
  • Week 4 - Monday afternoon, spend 20 minutes on a call with the person responsible for assigning me work and learn that the contracts I was hired for are delayed but she'll put me on something. Maybe find some more training to do.....
  • Week 5 - Training, Crickets....yada yada yada
  • Week 6 - Monday morning - send email to person responsible for assigning projects asking for work....oops on Vacation....thanks for the heads up....
  • Week 6 - Friday night get company wide email that talks about a company wide WebEx with new acting CEO.....WTF happened to existing CEO?
  • Week 7 - Wondering what to do today........SMH that I took this job........

Good thing I have all sorts of projects around the house to do....

Well, now my co-worker and I look like complete idiots to the teams our reports go to because of an "experiment" the analyst(s) wanted to do with a key metric in the reports. So pissed off at our analyst team right now.

One man's "experiment" is another man's "we fixed the glitch"
