Oh yeah so I had a company merger go down last week.

[NAD]

Too bad we are still a private company, or I could've made some scratch!

We're now up to 1000 employees total, there was like 120 when I first started here, WTF.

Being public sucks. We have to close our books every month, disclose our earnings and complete these audit binders. Ugh. Ever done an ETC (Estimated Time to Close)? No neither have I, and that's why I have a personal assistant.

Do you guys use Monster.com NAD for hiring?

I think we had to do all that crap to make this merger go through, but I'm not involved on that end so I don't really care either way. :Spin:

Most of our hiring is for field workers, and no we don't for that. For office stuff I don't really know, depending on who is actually doing the hiring and for what, I'm sure it's been used. Why, you wanna make a sales pitch or something?

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

ha ha, no, I only work with accounts with > 2,000 employees. I was just curious. There are very few companies of that size (yours, now) that don't use Monster in at least some capacity.

... that was about as subtle as Erik asking Maren out

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

not really, I explained above

 

[lurch70]

i know ... was just talking about that particular post by itself.

did you go to Nile last night?

 

[NAD]

haha, lurch just asked about Nile without hurling an insult.

is it normal to want to have sex with hot chicks when youre already married to a hot chick? if youre not married, pretend that you are and answer my question.

 

[Erik]

quite. as long as you don't act on it, because if you do, fuck you.

 

[dorian gray]

why not eh? what if you think about it CONSTANTLY.

 

[Erik]

either slap yourself in the face and realize how good you have it and that you don't really want to fuck that up; or if you realize you don't actually have it good, file for divorce.

 

[dorian gray]

what if you squandered your youth on sports and video games and only just now realized you could have sex with the hottest chicks in the room but you cant because you got married too young?

 

[NAD]

My friend The Bob got married at 19, is now 33 and has a hot wife and 2 kids. When he gets ridiculously drunk he complains about not scoring with a bunch of chicks when he was younger, but said "that's what happens when you meet your dream woman so young." And he doesn't really bring it up when sober.

I guess what I'm saying is, I think dorian's drunk.

 

[dorian gray]

dude, i wish. im on call right now. i was just wondering because i think about hot chicks all the time and ways to score with them.

 

[NAD]

While it sounds like a scummy thing to say, don't ask don't tell. I sorta figure that if my future wife ever cheats on me, as long as I never find out (and no disease/pregnancy/whatever happens), there's no harm no foul.

Note: I've only ever been close to marriage, and that was just once. I cheated on her by making out with 2 chicks at a bar one night and felt pretty bad about that, so I don't think I'd ever do it really, but who knows.

 

[NAD]

Umm, that post is a good example of why people only come to me for booze advice.
