Miss-Bomarc posted:Toastmasters is like AA, the people who think it helped them are REALLY into it and DEFINITELY think that you should join too because it would do SO much for you. There is a little bit of this, I won't lie. I think most people could do it for a year or two and then get pretty much everything they're going to get out of it. I know a few people who are members of more than five clubs, it's pretty much their whole social life. I don't think they're particularly outstanding speakers.

I am in hell. I am in the seventh circle of conference call hell. I have it muted on speakerphone though because I give no fucks. Because I am in hell but I am not alone in hell.

CEO's daughter works in the department next to mine and I just watched her take the last piece of candy out of the jar between our departments, minutes before it was about to be my dessert from lunch. It was a Reese's mini cup too

I didn't tell the story of how my gf got fired in this thread yet, but my favorite part of it is how when the President of the company told her to pack up her things she spitefully grabbed the bag of mini Reeses she kept on her desk for visitors and took them home so that the VP or President couldn't have them. e: then she ate them all because she was sad

Sundae posted:Another thing I've noticed is that, in general, the longer the resume (again, not CV -- resume) the poorer the structure and formatting. It's like there's some switch in people's heads where they realize they're going onto two pages, so they throw all rules of style and organization outt he window. There are exceptions, but holy poo poo the majority make me want to gouge my eyes out. Possible small point of confusion here - over here in  and possibly elsewhere in Europe, what you call resumes we call CVs (i.e. it's not just a thing for academics/scientists), and two pages is generally more common than one. Are people talking about CVs in this thread European because if so that's probably causing some misunderstanding.

feedmegin posted:Possible small point of confusion here - over here in In the USA, we have two standards. You have a resume (typically one page long, professional experience + education), or you have a CV. A CV is a more complicated document reserved for highly experienced positions, academic tier, PhD level roles, etc etc. It'll have your research history, publications, presentations and keynote speaker appearances, patents, awards, as well as all the stuff in your resume. It's going to be well more than one page and reserved largely for high-end jobs.

I'm transferring sites soon and I might have to leave a last will and testament bequeathing my supplies to people. I've already had people come in and inform me they had dibs on various things in my cube. There may be an actual fight over my standup desk.

Seriously the dude had multiple drawers filled with various shelf-stable snack foods; granola bars, fruit snacks, practically the entire snack aisle of Target stuffed in his desk. It was pretty sweet since that poo poo lasted me like 3 months even with being generous and handing out food to anyone who wanted a snacky thing.

My powered standup desk has followed me for 4 positions and 2 buildings so far. The funny thing is that each building has different desk dimensions, so it has to be redrilled each time. I did it myself the last 2 times because facilities broke the control module last time I let them touch it.

I work with people who have the self control of 5 year olds on Halloween when it comes to candy. They will legitimately take large handfuls out of the bowl or pick out all of their favorites and hoard them at their desk to the point where our receptionist has to lock away the big bag and only put out small portions at a time.

There is a Costco across the street from my work. People will buy 1-2 Costco sized bags, give out maybe 1/4-1/2, then bring the rest to work after Halloween. Feels like Willy Wonkas factory for a few weeks.

Company had to put their foot down about people going desk to desk with their kids selling poo poo, as it got out of hand.
