So, you're hearing voices? First sign of (1) you're getting old, (2) you're losing your insanity, and (3) you're back to programming as a profession.

Thats FUNNY!
I had to tell her my email address is ajilon@lvdude.com several times.
Since my refinance failed after signing the closing papers, I feel cautious when people say something is a done deal.
Ajilon's being 'late' and not calling me made me feel very leary about coming here.
I had to pin them down with, "If you say go, I'll take off Saturday. If not, I'll wait another week. Should I go?".
It's odd they'd still be doing a background check on me.
Reference checks beyond the question, 'does this person exist' has never made any sense to me anyway.
What is a person going to do? Put down a bad reference?
Like I'd put down Rodney Dangerfield's number. "Yea, jim has a big heart...and a big everything else too.".
lol.
I still haven't seen Ajilon's contract. I'm headed there today to sign some papers.

Funny. They had the same Dangerfield comment about Jeffwee Hock. It went "Yea, Jeffwee has a big heart.... but also has a very tiny pee pee". He does drive a Corvette!!! Speaking of Jeffwee, he says she called him too and had trouble pronouncing his name too, and couldn't (or wouldn't) get around to asking the important questions. Like your work abilities or ethic, etc. She kept asking where you two knew each other from.

Sounds great Jimmy. Better than me. I am fully brain dead. I stayed in a Suburban Extended Stay here in the Orlando, July 2005 for a week and hated it for the tiny rooms. As far as a "bad side of town", I suspect theirs is nothing compared to Heavensville's (L.A.) "bad side". But even there, things are not that bad, as long as you look for the good, and don't give anybody any kaka. Got a call from Becky at Alijon yesterday afternoon, wanting to do a reference check. Seems late in the process. I told her that you didn't know how to code. You act funny around female coworkers, and don't bathe. But that you don't steal, so you're ok. HaHa.... Just kidding. I was in the middle of doing an emerency fix that had to get done RIGHT AWAY and told her you were a good guy and a hard worker, but told her I'd have time. She asked when we worked together, and I told her about MGM and M2. She said she'd email me questions, and that way I could answer offline. She never sent me the email, so you may want to get her my email address. She seems a little dim witted. I say that, because she really mangled my last name, and couldn't understand mike -=-=-=at-=-=-= ginsburg.net was my email address.

I'm driving the F150 to Louisville...if I go!!!
Ajilon called this morning.
They said Bank of America didn't check out.
I told them it was 18 years ago, while Valley Bank was being acquired by Bank of America.
I looked it up in Wikipedia and the Valley Bank acquisition wrapped up in 1992, after the Security Bank acquisition.
But to us, and especially me, I was working for and contracting with Bank of America.
It just didn't say that on their checks.
And the conversions were for Base24.
There is no Valley Bank anymore. It became BOA.
How do you answer that...zig or zag?
hmmm.
I talked to the guy at Caesars Indiana...
He's going through their 5th acquisition.
Same job. Same everything.
At least, they're not change the name everytime...lol

The reason this all happened was that you went to Fly's without me... Oh, how I miss visiting Fly's stores. And harassing the cashiers. Next time you're there, as a cashier to "print out an F8".

Sounds like an absolutely terrible experience, Jimmy. Is it going to be a problem driving the thing out to Louis-ville?

You're so kooky, Jimmy.... In regards to the employment thing. The Drug Test thing will probably be just instructions on where to go. You fill out a few lines on a form (name, address, etc.) and they will put a cup down about 2.5 or 3 feet off the ground, and watch you pee-pee into it and you'll be done. Don't forget, eat nothing but poppy seed bagels between now and then. 

Hurray for Jimmy.. Looks like it's finally coming along. Actually, I had a question about my "physical being". Why is Squirt being shipped off? Sonny can't take care of Squirty?

What's this, Jimmy?

No, if you are W2 to Ajilon, you are THEIR employee, not BofA's. Ajilon would be responsible for your paycheck and withholding taxes, etc.Maybe you should call now, and not wait. It's not fair to you, that they are making you wait, like this.

The guy who replaced you here, at work, Neil took a new contract in South Portland, Maine the first week in May. It was suppose to be good for the rest of the year. He was hated by the rest of the rest of us contractors. So, we were glad to see him go. Found out he got let go from that contract yesterday, after four weeks on the job. And he had to pay $1750 to get out of his lease on his apartment here in Florida. Good move!!!
