    No, no, no, it has to come naturally -- you can't just stick it in your sig to give him a Triple Crown.


    He has to earn it the hard way like everyone else.

    I actually did it before I realized he "needed" it.

    Jealous? Give the man a break. :D

    Hi Guys,

    Just to close on a very positive note.

    Very much back on the saddle. And before Christmas! Really lucked out again and made sure I crossed my eyes and dotted my t's.

    To all who gave me encouraging words, THANK YOU. It was a rough 10 weeks full of errors you can only learn from.

    I found out today that there is a HR job (and maybe even another) that is available and I feel it is a very good fit for me. It would be a lateral transfer (so I don't think I would be getting much of a raise assuming I get it), but it would be worth pursuing for so many reasons - reasons that would take all day for me to go into. I felt a good vibe in talking with the lady who I would be reporting to if I got the job, but I am keeping my expectations low. I am being interviewed for it Monday, so wish me luck!

    Was notified today that I didn't get the job in HR - went to someone who is more qualified. It turns out that the job title, I think, was actually below what I have now. So, I'm stuck in my same job - oh well, maybe that isn't such a bad thing after all. I just wanted to let people know as I was not about to "Almu" anyone here.

    Well another HR job came available and I bid on it. And this time I got it! Unfortunately, there's no raise involved since it is a lateral transfer. However, it gets me out of a rut and into doing something I have been wanting to do for some time. After 8 years of doing the same thing, I was ready to do something different. Only bad thing is that my down time will go away - so I don't see myself posting much. I start full-time over in the new department by the middle of the next month. :)

    Thats great news! Change is always good, even lateral job shifts. You never know- you might 'click' with your boss and move up the ladder.

    Did you or the guy above this post counter offer from your first initial offer or was that what they offered initially? 20% is a good increase let alone 50%! 30% is very good too. Let me know if either of you counter offered.
