Is it ok to tell my md this?

i took a position in firm b (backup) because the md at firm a, i interviweed with didnt have an open spot. 1 mth into my job at firm b, md at firm a calls up to catchup. do i tell him that ive been working at firm a for 1 mth, or still looking?

coz if i tell him that i already am working for firm a, why would he continue to consider me for the position at firm b?

sorry for the lack of attn to detail and shitty spelinng, im writing this in a 100x100 box, rdy to be minimized

swagonYou should tell your MD everything so he can properly diagnose you.

LOL

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
 

i have a few questions:

-are you testing our intelligence/comprehension skills by switching the use of firm a and b around halfway through the post?

-are mth and rdy really that much faster to type than the full words?

-does making an internet browser window smaller make it quicker/easier to minimize?

...however, i would suggest telling the MD at the other firm that you are currently working (why would you want him to think you're unemployed/not doing anything?)

if it was intentional, i will give you a SB for incorrectly spelling the word "spelling".
