Oh, but you can. Match.com proved that to me by charging me a renewal fee even though I earned a six month free membership. Blood, sweat and tears, I earned that free renewal. The sad part is that the free renewal is based on purchasing a six month membership and not finding a single person in that six months that makes you want to discontinue your membership (ie I’m still a lonely bachelor/bastard). I was pretty peeved Monday morning when I find money missing and Match.com to blame. Luckily, they were able to straighten it out very quickly but told me it was 7-10 days to get the refund. So, basically, I was still bent over.
In other news, got a new boss at work so I’m up to 5 total. Its cool b/c this guy is ex-Marine and used to be stationed in the Mohave Desert. Plus, he’s got like over 15 years of good experience. Its important to me b/c after the fiasco at Actia (my last job) I am twice bitten twice shy. I was thinking about that the other day and how the asshats I used to work for caused me so much trouble. I was emailing my old co-workers and getting the scoop on Actia. Seems like the G5 are still running it into the ground. Honestly, if I hadn’t gotten laid off I think I was close to being fired for disciplinary reasons for fighting with a Project Manager that was a piece of shit. In addition to the new boss, I got new work priorities. Basically, the New Business Department (Dan & I) are responsible for ensuring the company’s future by acquiring new markets for the Pi product. If we fail, the company sinks. Well, maybe not Titanic but I’d definitely be outta a job. I’m not worried but the new boss is dedicated like 50% to Dan and I. But like I said he seems cool and he winks at me a lot, in a man-friendly way. Could be an interesting next couple of years.
Peace…………………….
