• I went to an orientation today for the placement service that AAA hired
  for us. When I signed in, I saw the name of one other AAA person there,
  and it was a higher up that I don’t really like, but can tolerate on a
  short basis. There were other people there too, actually, quite a few
  from Sears. I guess they did layoffs to. There were a total of about 10
  of us in there. I did not see any other AAA people in there, so I thought
  I was in the clear. About 10 after 9, a couple of people come walking
  in. One of them was a person from AAA that I COULD NOT STAND. She
  thinks we are just the best of friends, but I don’t like her at all.
  Throughout the course of the next couple of weeks, we will be taking
  all these courses and shit, and there is a good chance she might be in
  a few of them with me! She even said “Oh, Mike, we can car pool!” Oh,
  God, please kill her. Please. Just kill her and put her out of my
  misery. Anywho, after it was over, I was speaking with the lady that
  ran it, and I was telling her about my other job offer. She said that
  clearly they have low-balled me, and suggested that I read up on the
  placement company’s website about negotiating. She also said I should
  ask them for a couple of more weeks before I start, so that I could do
  all of the classes they suggested. She said, once I start a new job,
  the job, I will no longer be able to use the job placement company.
  Ohhhhh, more decisions.
