Welcome to the club, everyone! I'm interested in hearing about the new experiences many of us are all having. I went back to my old company today for the first time in about three weeks to meet a friend for lunch. My friend had to come and wait for me in the lobby because he was told that I wouldn't be allowed to go upstairs to his office. A security guard has been hired to keep ex-employees from entering the building.

Worse yet, I found out that my ex-boss and others at the company spend their time speculating on where I'll work next and what my pay will be. My ex-boss has told people what my salary was and bets I'll earn less than half at the new place.

I've been escorted off the property before. Several times in fact. It's highly embarrassing. The last time it happened to me, somebody stood watching me as I put my personal belongings into a box, then walked me down the hall, out the door and followed me to my car. >:(

I hope he got a good look. Because that was the last time he ever saw my ass. I guess they wanted to make sure I wouldn't steal something that didn't belong to me. Like a pencil or pen. Or an eraser. ::)

There wasn't nothing in that office worth stealing. Except maybe a few of the technicians! ;)

This was back when I was a dispatcher for an HVAC company. Have you ever taken a close look at a heating and air conditioning technician? They are RIPPED!! I had 12 techs I was in charge of, and believe it or not I got along with all of them. They had been treated so badly by the previous dispatcher that they were very happy to see me! Anyway more than several of them were very cute. :)

Check this out, yall.  A Denver advertising/design blog was having a 'hire these people' kind of thing and was posting different a person's work up each day.  Yesterday was my turn.  This morning got an email... from a Wall St Journal reporter asking if he could talk with me on the phone about "creative people affected by the recession".  I spoke with him later, but whatta thing to have to be interviewed about...
