You see I walk out and the cup is half full, and I sit for a moment and a half and it gets to be half empty really quick.<\/p>\n<p>That said the interview went well. (Except at the moment I have red fingers from fingerprinting, eh oh well, at least it ain&#8217;t getting everywhere)<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I hope I&#8217;m not getting too much of the bullshit line.  I really really really really do.  Citi actually seems to recognize that their people are an asset to be nurtured. (God I feel like a crack addict, buying into the story thats being sold to me.)<\/p>\n<p>But heres the thing.  Its not in marketing speak which signals to me its real not fake.  I heard Jeff (a manager at Citi) talking in his own voice, not a stilted measured corporate voice.  Wow. I&#8217;m so used to CSD&#8217;s corporate bullshit speak that an actual human in a management position talking to me in his own voice just seems well to awe-inspiring. (It doesn&#8217;t hurt that the setting sun is shining into my eyes making it all that more revelatory.)<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I just don&#8217;t like the idea of leaving my friends at CSD.  They&#8217;ve been my nightly family for nine months.  (I&#8217;m half tempted to get all the full timers to apply here, get my $500 referral bonus per person and screw CSD.  That would be nice.)<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>One final note, given the homophobic comments I found strewn across copies of The Advocate at work last night, I feel happy to move to somewhere where sexual orientation is explicitly in the non-discrimination policy.  (Although I never got my orientation to sexual, but oh well.  When can we stop getting euphemistic and just call it what it is, its not sexual orientation it is &#8220;persons sexually attracted to the same or both genders.&#8221;  See? No more euphemisms.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hate thinking about cups.
