You forgot the DURRRRR at the start of your comment.

Thanks for your thoughts Mr. Skipper, have a good weekend!

Sadly, you don’t get by it. You start at the bottom somewhere (like administrative or customer service), and you prove to the real people (as opposed to HR people, who are their own subspecies and possibly not organic life) that you get to know over the course of months or years in the department you’d rather be in…

I get that, but two things:

Since I assume you aren’t talking about Arsenal soccer fans, what are gunners?

That’s a fair point, and I wasn’t slagging accounting majors really, but either it attracts a certain type of person, or the curriculum itself reinforces a a lack of interpersonal skills, and they wear it almost as a badge of pride that they can’t find a complete written sentence with two hands and a flashlight.

I stayed at that hotel for work a couple years ago, it’s decent. The workout room view is pretty cool. I was working out while they were taking BP, which made me want to go to the game. So I finished working out, showered and changed, then walked across to the park and scalped a ticket for $8. I have no idea where the…

Also, the national anthem?

Also, will there be a PA announcer? and if so, why?

Also you can get Gatorade from them...

unless you have a mom that considers “setting the cap on top of the bottle” as adequate for closing it. So, so, so much childhood rage about that.

Not afraid to admit I know most of the fountains in my neighborhood for which ones use the right mix, right amount of ice (for non-self service), and so on. A rough list would be:
