The Poojer

Come on back!!

like i said, in an academic or actual library setting, i get it...but in search engine land you really need to be constantly tweaking your structures to ensure you are meeting your end users needs, she would actually reference 'rules' and 'postulates' to defend her point...we would counter with "well, google brings it back, so should we'....but again, she had a lot of other deeper lying issues, its a much nicer work environment since she left and to her credit, i have discovered i learned a crap load from her.

what a coinky-dink....so do i

i think i told you before...my current role is heavily involved with our companies taxonomy/ontology...all of my knowledge on the subject has been learned on the job...my former co-worker has an MLIS(?), so taxonomy/ontology is her expertise...we butted heads constantly because she was soooooo by the books(no pun intended) which may be perfect in a library setting, but in the practical world, especially in the world of on-line search, you need to almost go rogue and only use your book learning as a guideline and make it work....she could never do get her mind wrapped around going outside of her comfort zone...needless to say she was constantly being talked off the ledge...MLIS folk are a breed unto themselves...hopefully your wife is more 'normal'

Not that your answer really impacts my thoughts on it but how old are you, or how far into your career are you? Also what industry? I haven't been faced with the need for an MBA in my working career, but again, I really don't have aspirations to grow into something with a title, I simply want to be good at my job and be the go to person when people need to get stuff done, that has served me well so far. I do not want to be a manager, sr. manager, vp etc....i am happy in my non-descript worker bee roll. I would however like to go back to school for degree or certificate programs just to learn, but it has nothing to do with climbing the corporate ladder....

infield hit on the first pitch he faced....

thanks for that bit of advice....

a weakness would indicate you were unable or afraid to make another decision...when it comes to redheads there IS no other option...we are hardwired that way...it is beyond our control...you are NOT weak

i think my circuit city experience was pretty well documented and not exactly the same situation as you are...it was announced in mid january 09(?) that we were closing and not being bought...being that it was a corporate setting some laws applied and we needed to make ourselves available for 6 months to do anything that needed to be done before losing our pay in june...no one monitored if you were working or not during that time as we were all no longer required to be in the office every day...i actually did work right up until the end and people knew that...6 months after my last check, former circuit city people came calling on me about an opportunity up here in philly, and the rest is history... now i am not saying that my working up until the end had any impact on those that came calling for me, but i guess it more kept me sane and upbeat...but just know that your hard work up until the end will be noticed and at worst will keep you in a positive mood which will project to others that see you on a daily basis...don't mail it in

I was mistaken...we get Trombone Shorty with the Avett's.....pretty awesome double bill
