Ghosting is inconsiderate and immature, but you need to keep in mind when youre looking for a different job you need to protect yourself. If your management finds out you want to leave they might quicken that leaving process; no one is irreplaceable. You shouldn’t give any indication youre planning on leaving until you have a start date at the next company. Some companies have a tendency to walk people out right after they give a notice, depending on your company and relationship with management I wouldnt assume they let you stay for two weeks. Though for moving within a company, your manager could be a big help so it might be worth keeping them in the loop, also you’d still be in the same company so the relationship might be useful down the road.
Sending that “WFH due to snow” email has its own magic, it means you get to spend the day watching long movies and eating soup while pretending to be working as the blizzard rages outside. At dinner you can venture out into an untouched winter wonderland, walk to the closest bar which has 0 people in it, enjoy a personal bartender for the night and drink yourself into a stupor before stumbling home at 10.
This is like in little league when a kid gets under a rainbow-like popup, glove up, other hand behind the mitt, looking up at the slowly falling ball as it BOINKs off his forehead, just in relationship form.
I havent slept in clothes of any kind in at least 6 years and the thought of choosing to not feel the high thread count or swaddled by flannel all over doesnt make sense to me.
Just keep repeating how amazing you are, your boss probably doesnt pay enough attention to tell you otherwise so when your overall assessment is “average” you can ask for specific examples of why youre not amazing and your boss will probably say something to the effect of “we give that to everyone including the guy who never misses his 2pm nap”
White Christmas lights on your McMansion in suburbia USA is an announcement that you never matured past 11 years old when all everyone wanted to do was fit in and not be themselves.
Im going to be downvoted to oblivion but my favorite leftovers of all time is KFC, throw the mashed potatoes and chicken in the microwave together and the flavors meld together, Id rather eat leftover KFC than fresh KFC and I like KFC.
Out of college I got offended when I never heard back from applying online to jobs but I got an automated rejection email once and realized I didnt really need that. Now when im looking for a job I just spray out applications like a peter north bukakke so I really dont want my inbox full of rejection emails. My industry is hurting enough for qualified people that its pretty rare to be ghosted once a real person contacts me.
Getting shot down by a girl who would probably dump you when you graduate and move away for work doesnt really sound that bad tbh, probably doing you a favor by preventing you from thinking a LDR is a good idea.

Major upside of working with government employees right now is they’re leaving everyone alone after the holiday. Bless them.
Booked my flight on the 24th in the hopes that everyone else flew over the weekend. Added bonus of a quiet weekend before the holiday “vacation”
Having to follow US government employee laws on accepting gifts even though you dont work for the government. PGP.

Glen sounds like a guy I want to go on a fishing trip with, im guessing I’ll also want to go on a fishing trip with my son. Sounds fine to me.

I didnt realize it was still the 50s and anyone is still wearing wingtips.

Cant really expect lasting success when the game plan is “run around until someone gets open lol” for 10 years

Wait did I read that right, the guy found out he tag teamed a girl at least 5 years ago from the girls mom, who he works with?
Pro tip- go buy the best pet vacuum you can afford because her hair will be everywhere and she wont clean it up.

I guess were not going to talk about the bears kicker who hit the uprights four times. As a bears fan im ok with not talking about that.

Really hoped this was going to be about how hard youre going to roast the next commentor who throws a sup your way
