Okay, so you all decided to refine my job description. Cool. How has it changed?

If I heard that, I would start updating the old resume.

@roger,

Um.

Refine is a buzzword.

You folks have my sympathy. Patience, Patience. Thought I'd never stop puking when most bodies found some way of saying "heads up." Did you get the heads up on this-or-that? Thanks for the heads up...

@Pemerson,

osso rolling laughing.
I suppose we share years, with occasional twists on experience.

I suppose there is a minute chance you are offended by this, pem. Not so meant.

No offense. I would say same to you if you had reminded me of "heads up."
A very very long time ago a youngish lady at an employment agency said, as she handed me the name & address of my hopefully new employer, "Now, put your best foot forward." Oh, lord. And that was way after that buzzword's time. A low point in my life.

OMG! I learned about heads up in junior high, and I am ~ 66 years old. Someone hollered "Heads up!", so I put my head up and sure enough, I got whammed in the head by a volley ball. What we had there was a "failure to communicate" and "a steep learning curve."

Oh, Roger

With me it was sitting on the side of a swimming pool at age 16 and it was a football that hit me square in the head. That's what's wrong with me. I experienced growth.

To Boss:
Does this mean you somehow saw my Facebook post? I thought I had the privacy settings to "only friends" so that you wouldn't see that.

@squinney,

Oops! Did I just say another career limiting statement?

@squinney,

That would explain the security guards and all those empty boxes
by your desk.

@George,

Actually, they started refining my job description mid-2008. It took until mid 2010 for them to replace me (one person) with a company (10-12 people?).

I'm quite thankful for the freedom at the moment.
