Back in February, I applied for a new position, Business Analyst III. It's a bit premature considering I'm still on probation for my current role, but I went for it anyway. I applied because there's a position open within my department, and that's the only reason why I applied.

Anyways, I went through the motions, qualified, and got called up for interview and whatnot.

Today, I found out I was not the chosen candidate. It was another candidate.

I'm not butt-hurt or anything. It was worth the shot, but it still bums me out.

The list is still qualified for 6 months, so there's still opportunity to get called up for another department. I have another interview for another department on Thursday. I'm not holding my breath, but the opportunity is there.

Well today was a fun day. Had to go around telling some employees (some long-tenured) that we're laying them off in 2 months.

Sometimes being the boss is not very glamorous.

Been a fun week for me. Spent Sunday morning in the ER with chest pain, shortness of breath, and dizziness.

Luckily — if you can call it that — it was only a case of pancreatitis. This is my first bout with it and it is kicking my tail. CT showed no signs of gallstones or gallbladder issues.

The recovery progress is slow but it is progress at least. Diet changes have been made across the board and I'm resting when I feel the need to, but also trying to stay active somewhat.

Any tips would be appreciated. :rofl:
 
Pancreatitis was one of the things the EMTs first speculated before the CT scan at the hospital showed my kidney ruptured, so if it felt like that my deepest sympathies!

Funny enough the first thing they checked me for was a heart attack. Apparently the symptoms are nearly identical when the pancreatitis is bad enough.
 
All those photos were exactly on point, except Grandma in the back seat. :)

Costco's finest noodles. Add a bit of pork or shrimp and they're stellar.

NGL I love just plain buttered noodles now and then, I have the same taste buds I had when I was 7.

Oh and cheese pizza is the best tasting pizza. Toppings ruin it.

^ this.
 
I try to half-cook an egg for ramen. Boil a small bit of water, drop the egg in, stir it once or twice and quickly throw it into the bowl/cup with the ramen water
 
Lol. My favorite Pizza is PMS, OR PMB/bo. :) P =Pepperoni, B= Beef, and S is sausage. M= mushies, bo is black olives.
BUT, the best pies I ever had was when Herb was closing the Dominos across the street from my shop. I had classes that ran till 10 pm, so I'd stop by on my way home A "Crew PIe" is a pie made from a large crust,extra sauce and the contents of the overflow pans from the prep area. :) Those have to be thrown away, and there's nothing wrong with it other than it's everything they sell, that fell off a pizza as it was being made. Stuff in the floor goes out also by law.Sometimes we'd use 2 crusts, just to keep the stuff on it, lol. You had to bake it until it was almost burnt, to melt all the cheese, lol.
Sometimes we'd cover it with another crust, and flip it over and bake that crust. Kina like the Prizzo pizza pizza slut used to sell. :) God I want a pizza,lol.
 
We had several pizza places in town when I ws growing up, We had Big Eds, Pizza inn, Pizzahut, Back door Pizza, and Billy's Time out Deli.
All different, all had their special pizza. I could walk to Billys or Backdoor, and they didn't mind kids from the neighborhood coming in alone, as long as you had money, lol. In the summer I hsd several lucrative businesses, one gathering coins under the diving boards at the pool. :) I sold seeds,delivered papers, mowed lawns, fixed other kids bikes after I found out how much parents would pay. :) After I fixed a few car stereo's, word got around, and I made a shitload of cash fixing 8-track decks. :) (1970's)Later, I did cassette decks. :)
