This company wants to interview me for an account exec position. Seems legit, what do you guys think?

My only concern is that "account exec" might be their name for telemarketer, because I see that they have call centers. I hope I'm wrong about that, but after my "Internet Fleet Manager" experience I'm a little skeptical about everything.

Did you Google them? Check fvckedcompanies.com?

Here's their Wiki page. They're Google Finance page. Sounds like telemarketing is a big part of things (at least in the non-profit side) but also other standard outsourced call center activities (tech support, polling, etc.).

AC's back on. Lots of complain-y people, though.

I came to work today after being on vacation all last week... And, other than having 211 emails waiting for me, I was not deluged with work to catch up with. My staff and co-workers took care of everything while I was gone.

It doesn't seem right that returning to work was this easy.

It's making me nervous.

I'm getting slapped about for having too much vacation on the books...even deducting what Im using for camping...I'm still WAYY above the accrual limit and MUST TAKE IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION!

even SHE couldnt do it with a straight face.

Orange County's Animal Services sucks. Just saying.

Tried to call the shelter to inform them that we found a dog last night, that way if the owner calls they can come pick up the dog, and the guy basically was an @ss to me and said that we'd HAVE to hand her over to the shelter and can't foster her here, and basically kept trying to pressure me to have them come pick her up and take her to that horrible shelter.

Fvck that. I'll put up signs. If the owners are even looking for her (which, given the condition she was in when we found her last night, I have to wonder about), then they'll have to find her from the signs. I'm not turning this sweet dog over to that shelter.
