Dear X, Regarding your comment during our recent phone conversation. In this conversation I said something like: “I must have missed the update.” And you replied with: “That happens a lot at [my department].” I find your comment to be extremely unprofessional, and more than that, to be unnecessary and uncivil. The whole point of … Emails that should not be sent
Why, I mean, really, really, WHY? Why does everyone always ever leave any sort of tech related advice or question until the deadline to ask? Today’s example @ 4:45pm the boss wanted help taking a word file home to work on. But then she tells me she can’t get email at home, and her computer … Tech Support, at the last second?
Had my performance review today. Was mostly fine, but was told “Your very good at starting things, but not so good at finishing.” Wouldn’t bother me so much if it wasn’t so very, very true. Bugger.

Well, so today I add yet another new experience to my ‘real world’ sales job life, getting fired for something that wasn’t my fault. Lucky me.
Well, I’ve been doing the new job on my own now for two days. And all I can really say is that I haven’t stuffed anything up big yet. Which is good i guess. The guys at the new store all seem nice, and I’m getting along well with them. I’m very aware that some … The new job
Okay, so yesterday the regional manager rocks in and wants to have a private word with me. I frown, he says its nothing scary. We chat.
