Phfeeew, had a scare today
I'm a very "living on the edge" kinda guy when it comes to being paranoid. I saw an ad on a site for an editor in my company, didn't say where, but sounded like my job. My publisher wanted to know where it was....so I called head office and spoke to "the man"

He said he couldn't say where cause someone was gonna get fired.

I said "It isn't me is it."
He laughed and said "No it's not you, this I promise" and jokingly added "But if you make one more mistake!"

Anyway, it sucks being a paranoid guy sometimes.....my blood pressure is always up and up.

13. My last two cube-land jobs
were fraught with paranoia. I mean you are dealing with a corporate entity here.
How can you NOT be paranoid. By the way in my last job I made TONS of mistakes

10. Maybe now that they KNOW you're looking at job ads...
they might be tempted to consider firing you. :shrug;
