My new boss just doesn't interact with me at all... this is so, so weird, I've never dealt with this in my career. He's very senior, technically two rungs above me, but I report direct to him because my new role is part of a new strategy so it should be good for my career to have him as my leader. But I've talked to him maybe twice this year? My last few bosses I'd chat with daily at least over IM and had scheduled weekly 1-on-1's, but this guy has no interest in that. I have to schedule chats with him through his executive assistant.

Today I delivered the biggest presentation of my career, to our biggest client. A month of planning, had our COO and CEO present, three guest speakers, gifts and the full red carpet treatment. Got some great feedback and congrats from everyone who attended.... except my own boss. I asked him for any final feedback on the presentation a week beforehand and he just never replied. He was on the presentation itself, and the internal debrief after, but didn't say a word to me, despite the CEO and COO giving me a pat on the back, other VP's texting me, asking questions, etc.

I don't need any positive reinforcement, I'd be fine if he said "hey you said this, how do you plan to follow up" or really any type of interaction... but nothing. Radio silence. This is... bizarre. I'm fine with being left alone but at some point this guy does my performance reviews and I'm not sure how that'll go since he seems to forget (or maybe resent) that I report to him I'm confused.

That doesn't sound very good.

What an uncanny feeling. Is he close to retirement age? Do you feel that his heart is no longer in the job?

[PorkChopSandwiches]

Yeah, maybe he already checked out

TIL that the US military has the authority to engage and neutralize a perceived direct threat to the United States without informing the POTUS if they think the threat is something imminent and there's no time to go up the chain of command.

TIL there is such a thing as baby drop off boxes.

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love

Let's see how long it takes to fill this order, or if it gets filled at all.

Stopped at the grocery store after work. Wife likes Pepsi and we were running low so that was one of the things I was picking up. It happened to be on sale (yay) so that worked out well. The pricing was: $7.99/each (8 pack of plastic bottles) or the sale price of 4 for $15 (must buy 4). Who looks at that and thinks to themselves, "well we don't need 4 of them (32 bottles) so I'll just grab 2 and pay $15.98 instead.

Gershon or Gerson?


Man last week was rough. 112hrs. Prospects aren't looking good going into the holiday weekend either. Only 2 days into this pay period and already at 30hrs.

Holiday weekend? When did you start working for the government?
