We are currently undergoing a reorg at work. A lot of people have left, because basically is now sucks to work in our group. We are incredibly short staffed. And because our CIO's rotten reputation now procedes him, they can't get anyone internally to the overall company to apply.

I was called into my manager's office yesterday. I have been "repositioned" as part of the reorg. I am now the Infrastructure Project Manager (cool, no problem. Like that part.). But...same salary. And I now also have to help out on the extremely short staffed IT call desk for our area.

I am not happy. I said "Do I at least get a new job title and bump in officer grade?" My manager (I feel so sorry for her, they are trying to phase her out because she actually challenges the CIO and his cronies.) said she'd look into it. She just looked so beaten.

I have been looking already. I am really ramping up the job search now. I actually used to like working here and coming in every day. Now I just HATE it with a passion.

Sorry for venting. But I'm ticked.

you know you can pop on over to the cooking thread and we can help you through making your own bread from scratch... just sayin.

Okie dokie, I'll keep that in mind. Reason why I'm excited about this one is that they have AMAZING rye bread. I love rye bread more than any other kind. This is an award winning bakery named LaBrea. Organic.

I just found this bakery here a few weeks ago. They opened up in the big supermarket I go to. Must have made some kind of deal with them.

PORTLAND, Maine — For the first time, scientists have figured out how to determine the age of a lobster — by counting its rings, like a tree.

So the wife and I decided to build a house (since she works for Ryan Homes it wasn't much of a decision) and I get the basement to do what I will with. House won't be done until May but I want to start compiling ideas for what to do down there. The space is approx. 15'X40'. Wet bar rough ins will be installed and the basement will be completely finished with a full bath. Good ideas are welcome as are where to go for other ideas!

Where are they located now? I worked for them back around 1989 - 1995. They were at the crossroads of the Parkway West and I-79. I lived in Pennsbury Village at the time. The commute was a five minute walk through the woods.

It was awesome!
