Thank you! Yes, please feel free to link here from your blog, and I’ll be happy to do the same.

Boy, do I know what you mean about “if they ever found out what I really am…” After my company imploded I hid my background from more than one potential employer. I wonder how many others have done the same. I guess that’s called “experience discrimination.” See this post from the WSJ blog “Laid Off and Looking.” http://blogs.wsj.com/laidoff/2009/04/17/work-experience-is-a-liability/

jeez what a great idea…

i bring flowers – I passed thru the gates to the garden myself, in january. – I actually asked for the bull icon that hung on the walls as I was escorted out. I’ve been stewing in vitriol, taking it all personally, then looking for an alter ego to present myself as a ’sales associate’ at Target, knowing that if they ever found out what I really am, they would run away like rabbits from a fox. and I still can’t get a job interview with Target…they think I can’t count boxes, or won’t wear their clothes ( i would! i would!)

anyway, thanks for this site…it made my night! can i link to your blog from my blog? ( I’m going to do it anyway)

so, so refreshing – thank you…

This blog is great–I just found it (from LinkedIn), and read all the articles. Hilarious–and true. As someone who may be joining this club next month, I’m sure I’ll have an idea or two to send your way. I look forward to reading more–keep’em coming.
