Promotion???

[vt_maverick]

Good luck (again)!

[ZEUS]

Fingers crossed, Thor!

Thanks fellers.

This is the hard part ... waiting.

Bossman told me last night that I prolly won't hear anything till next week. I'll be in meetings with him all day today so if he hears anything, I'm sure that he'll let me know.

[etlsport]

Glad the interview went well! Hope good news comes back.

[JHarris1385]

Hope you get it!

[Cobrajet]

You know if you get that promotion, we have to have another get together at your place!! Make the Hampton Roads crowd travel this time. I've got brats in the freezer!

[vt_maverick]

Hey I'm down for it. Might be handy if I have some new mods to install by then.

[tom4bren]

Got bad news today ... but it coulda been worse ... much worse!

Secretary of the Army decided to suspend all personnel actions involving hiring and promotions for at least 30 days. It'll be sometime in March before I hear anything.

Son of a biscuit! We'll just have to keep our fingers crossed longer.

"coulda been worse"... yep, you coulda been part of a command that the SECDEF desperately wants to disestablish (like now!). Sigh. Resume writing and RIF classes are great motivators for serving the warfighters. Double-sigh.

With that being said... muchas good luck (and nice timing in beating the rats fleeing Dahlgren)!

Not lookin good Tom.

Looks like someone has decide to wait it out past your fast approaching retirement date, just to rule you out of the running.





Hang on mate - I'll do it for ya -

[tom4bren]

Thanks all. I'm hanging in there. It's just frustrating.

Fuzzy - Welder Guy has seen your Proton running around a few times. We need to meet up soon.

PK - My retirement plan is very simple. I will retire exactly 2 weeks after my ex-wife dies. She got a part of my retirement in the settlement. It's not much (actually insignificant) but it's the principal of the thing.

I'm still pullin' for you, Tom!!

I went through the RIF and no bonuses/pay raises in my company two years in a row. They actually "demoted" everyone in my group to paper-pusher job title, but we were grandfathered at our existing salaries. I was just happy to still have my job! We are hoping for both bonuses and pay raises this year.
