JT, when they started the offshore transition a year ago, the EDI programmers and mappers had to actually sit on the phone for most of the day and teach their replacements what EDI was and how to map in Gentran.  The Apu's had remote access to the Secaucus teams PC's and that was how they were trained.  It really burned a few people and they basically refused to train the people.  I wouldn't mind having to train somebody here to replace me if they were just cutting numbers and work was being distributed to others in addition to their usual assignments, but to train somebody in India to replace me really burns my ass.

Admit is declaring war on productivity up and down the East Coast     Bra(cket) Buster     Just sharing the wealth from the MIAC board.   Admit personally thinks that Stacy Keibler's 10 seed, along with Tyra Banks and Elizabeth Hurley's 16 seeds are ish, and Jennifer Aniston's 7 seed is on the high side.  

KS just saw the date for the Shoes game.  KS might have to try to make a road trip to Troy for the game.  It is the day after KS 45th birfday.

Icgrad does not understand why people just don't listen?

Grad shares office with 2 others who sit in space on otherside of wall, grad has door to his back, customer walks in and ask for one of grads co-workers who is not there...Grad indicates this to customer and response back is of course " He's not here?"  Well isn't that just what I said??   Cust then looks again in back to see if person is there & grad again replies " He is not there he'll be back I'll let him know to call you when he is back" Cust proceeds to go into back anyway and put items on co-workers desk.  Grad reaches for 12lb sledge next to desk........someone is going to get hurt!!!

Panasuckit now uses SAP as their order processing system.  They used to use this dinosaur called Pro-21.  I sent Apu the documetation for using Pro-21 this morning.  KS will put some documentation and saved knowledge on the network drive but the good stuff and most of his contacts will be wiped when KS re-initializes his hard drive before leaving tomorrow.  KS will miss some of the people, good people that it was enjoyable to work with but will not miss the idiocy of the place and they way they treat their people.  It is pretty bad when a company treats their own employees just as bad as they treat the contractors.

KS will also miss the cute Japanese women running around the place, that is the biggest regret about leaving.  Maybe KS can get a job at Sony or Minolta.

KS will take a little head clearing time and collect and then start looking really hard for a job in about two to three weeks.

JT thinks the EDI market has loosened up since 01-02 when he left.  JT still gets calls today. It was a very tight market back then. 

JT recommends avoiding Coach Leatherware at all costs.  SAP shop that treats EDI peeps like garbage (worse than Panasuckit.)

Sharp is OK but avoid accepting a full time salaried position working for the female sr. mgr/vp.... consulting OK however (JT can email KS her name if you wish)

Becton Dickenson is OK.  Sony OK.   Roche OK.

I just snagged a Cleveland Launcher off of ebay.  Im fired up.

Did anyone else do a GIS and think it was going to pull up a terd thrower or something?  I was so ready to buy into a potato/terd cannon

Reg, buy it now for $9.99. You can even get an abdominal workout while you launch stuff.

that's looks similar to an item I purchased that lets you simultaneously work your abs, launch water balloons, and ignite your farts.

Where the hell is KiltedRat??
Has he been stalked by the same creature who took down our beloved HollaDawg??

Please see my post from the MIAC board. This may explain things...

Yikes!!!  Can't get drunk in bars.....Can't get drunk in my car.....We are turning into a Communist State!!!

Hopefully the cops don't start coming into the bars of Troy, NY on 11/11!!!!!

RE: Party Foul...MILLER LIGHT FRIGE PACK!!!!!BOTTLES?

So Reg goes into the store to pick up a 12 pack of his beverage of choice.  It so happens that Miller light updated the old school 12 pack with some fancy "Fridge Pack for bottles" (it is basically a knockoff of the cool 12 pack coca cola CAN Frige pack.  Anywhoo.....there are some things severly wrong with this thing....So much so, I see it being discontinued within the next 3 months....

Ok, picture this....you go to purchase a 12 pack, what is the first thing you do....you reach for the grab handle on top of the box....WTF?....there isnt one!!!...you are supposed to be able to grab it from teh side handle (there is only one) which I couldnt even get to open!.....So, I walk out of the beverage center carrying this 12 pack like a baby....right...
It gets worse.....
It literally took me one minute to break into this thing...and the "flip top" part literally ripped into 4 pieces.....That is unacceptable for a beverage that must be consumed immediately!....

BUT WAIT DERE'S MORE~~!!!!![/b]And this one is the worst....ok, so you get invited over to a friends house...you just get done with your second ML and you think...."Im not going to stop to buy another 12 pack...Ill just bring this one"  forget that!.....after you tear off the top to this thing, the box becomes unusable because there is no support.
I'm thinking like what kind of chump did they market this box towards?  I don't know about you guys....but there is never a reason for a "Frige Box"......When I set out to catch a game in my living room...Im not like, look at how nicely this stores the beer in its own tidy location...I am usually like "do you guys want one or two....Gro run to the store and pick-up more because this one is cashed...." ...."and make sure you pick up a cold one, the White Zinfandel is already chilling in the fridge"


I highly urge the LLPP to go enjoy the Frige pack tonight.
