I'm too good at my job

Evil HR Lady

I have been working for a large corporation for about 4 years. My relationship with the vice president is great; I feel he is smart and respectable. My relationship with my supervisor however, is a little rocky. She is a flake, routinely calling in to work, crying over the slightest criticism, complaining incessantly, and the quality of her work is terrible. In January I applied for a new position in the company, I interviewed for the position twice and both interviews went well. The vice president in my current group took me out to breakfast as a morale boost and I appreciated it greatly.

What I learned on my Romanian Vacation

Evil HR Lady

I just spent a week in Romania. know it's not the typical vacation spot, but we're trying to take advantage of our few years in Europe by seeing everything we can. While there, we ate great food (really great, I gained 4 pounds), saw interesting sights and, of course, picked up a few career lessons. Here are a few of the things I learned on my vacation. Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get you. In Bucharest we visited the People's Palace , which was the massive, expensive, and over-sized last project of Communist Romanian Dictator Nicolae Ceau?escu. See, paranoid?
