My billrate went up last June by US$10, so in
January I got a US$1.50 raise to reflect that
promotion.

I've been working in Battle Creek, Michigan,
since August 19th of 2002.

I love the smell of burning Frootloops in the
morning...

I work in the former Kellogg's Battle Creek
Sanitarium, home of the yoghurt enema (five
times daily).

No, it's not an asylum anymore. No more enemas. :-)

I'm not the only one feeling a bit bruised and insulted.

I'm waiting for someone to start espousing
a faith-based logic system, wherein 1==1,
0==0, 1==0, and 0==1, as needed, to show
the truth of any possible statement
within any particular belief system.

(Similarly, 1!=1 and 0!=0, ad nauseum.)

After nearly 3 weeks of frenzied contacts with
recruiters, a phone interview, and a repeatedly
rescheduled phone interview, all my job prospects
in Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, and upstate New York
have vanished down the drain. I am guessing that
the process will begin again next week.

I really feel stupid for leaving my Kansas City job
in June 2001 to move back to Colorado. I should have
known the layoffs would start happening in Colorado
right as I arrived, and that my interviews would
end up being cancelled. I should probably never have
taken the KC job in the first place.
