It's for a different company.
I was thinking something along the lines of "this repeated asking will not reflect well with my new employer.
I think I'll be digging out the contract I signed with my current company.

As many of you know, I've got a new job. Quitting my old one is proving to be difficult. I gave my boss two weeks notice. He requested me staying an extra week. I told him I'd talk to my new boss.
Nevertheless, I just want out. I told my new boss about this and he said, "Well, you're all signed up, so there's no turning back now!"
This morning, I sent the following to my boss:
- "I chatted with Ron about delaying my employment for a week. He told me that it would be difficult to alter everything (paperwork etc) on such short notice. Sorry I couldn't get this to work out."
And I got the following response:
- "Nos, I need you to go back and speak with Ron again. I understand the trials and tribulations associated with paperwork but, we really need that extra week to address the succession of your position. After ten [10] years, I don’t think this is too much to ask. We would never have terminated your employment with LV with only a 2-week notice period.
If it would be easier for you, I can contact Ron directly to discuss the extra week. Please let me know how you would like us to proceed."
I hate this place and I just want out. Maybe tell him I got the extra week and don't show up? I dunno. HELP! -

Update: I got a new job!
by Nosferatu inin my last post, i mentioned how i basically had a foot in the door for an hvac job with pretty good benefits although it was for $2 less per hour.
today, i got a call back from a job i interviewed for about two months ago.
the job is for $2 more per hour than what i'm making, company vehicle, 3 weeks vacation on start, a blackberry, and it's somewhat related to the electronics field... i'll be fixing electric wheelchairs :) .

Yeah, I have an 8-track player at work. Kind of a novelty thing and people get a kick out of it, and how good it actually sounds. I probably won't be able to mount one in the company vehicle I'm getting :(

Holy crap... I've started cleaning out the hard drive on my PC and deleting emails. You know how much digital shit you accumulate after 10 years? LOTS. Some of this stuff is hard to delete. Stuff I kept for a reason and stuff that I'd need to defend my ass if something goes wrong, but it's all irrelevant now.
And then there's the physical shit. I have all my music backups sitting here. I might have to invest in a safety deposit box. And my computer speakers, my 8-track player, and some personal paperwork. All going home or into the shredder pile. -

I'm good at telling her when she's pissing me off. Other than that, no. Women are better at that stuff, and I prefer to keep it that way.

With the baby boomers getting old, there'll be no shortage of work.
I am happy! -

I forgot how unsupportive my dad is...
by Nosferatu ini'm searching for a new job.
i've been searching for a new job for about 3-4 months now.
the ones that i liked didn't hire me.

Thanks for the support all, and mustang: thanks for relating that experience! It just confirms that this will be a good move if I get hired - at this point, I don't see why I won't get hired. I just need to wait for the background check to come back clear. Hey, I've never been in trouble and my driving record is pretty good.
Also, my dad isn't a JW. He just seems to know what's best for me as usual. All the things he's told me not to do, I did them and I don't regret any of it. I remember how unhappy he was when I moved out. Turned out to be the best thing for me! I was so happy being independent and free from his control (and of course away from the JW influence of my mother).
So, if they call and ask if I still want the job, you'd better believe that I'll go for it! :) -

Just as a side note, this was my 4th interview for an HVAC related job. One of the guys who interviewed me also came from the electronics field. He said that they've been having a difficult time keeping people because of the job market, so my 10 year stay at my current job made me desirable. He also talked about two people who left and regretted leaving the company (one of them came back).
They already had me fill out an application form and the form for the background check. Takes 4 days to come back, so it'll either be Friday or Monday.
But I'm looking forward to having a vehicle as my office. I never had an office window before, and the scenery will always be changing! And free transportation to and from work! That's a savings right there :)
