Christ...Wonder Woman is still out in theaters. Give Jenkin’s agent time to work his/her stuff with the studio. There is zero actual need to have all the terms pinned down this early for a movie that might not drop this decade (given the ridiculous superhero movie pipeline is already filled to the brim.

I bet he pronounced “Evian” like he did [dramatic pause] “Aviato”.

Not sure about you, but when I sit down for some Netflix right now I’m trying to get away from America. In every possible sense.

I’m pretty sure we subscribe to the same newsletter. My co-parent...not so much. She’s more of the “run in screaming and crying like you just saw the news guy say the missiles are incoming and we all have 20 minutes before horrible death” school of parenting.

Best way to get relatives to remember that: start charging them like any other tech support would. Odds are, they’ll just stop calling you with their “problems”.

I think you’re confusing notice date with resignation date. If you are resigned effective 7/22 your last day in office cannot be later than that, because your resignation date is the date you cease being an employee.

While I’m sure that was supposed to wound me, I’m just glad you are using pronouns clearly.

1) I stated two things are insufferable.

I wouldn’t tell them I left for another position. It’s none of their business what I do with the rest of my life. Employment is a business deal, and when it ends it ends.

Effective date IS your last day in office. Not sure what kind of jackass tried to twist that into something else. The moment you fire that letter off is when the clock starts counting. You don’t start counting 2 weeks from the effective date (I assume that’s what they tried to do).

In regards to the catapult, the issue with the fuel tanks is not a new one. All aircraft are tested for vibrations. Anything with as much force as a catapault is going to cause them, and resonance frequencies can be tricky. Excessive vibrations might only happen with certain items only, or even only with specific…

Oooo! I like your HR-cop analogy. Consider it stolen. Do not bother reporting it. I left no prints and have already crossed the state line.

Given your questions, and the tense used in them, I don’t think you fully read my post, or missed the point I was making. Because I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Yes, give 2 weeks or whatever is standard in your industry (or what you agreed to in your employment contract). However, do not be afraid to burn a bridge by leaving immediately, but do not be dumb about it either. If your new job is a huge pay bump in a different industry, think about lighting that match. A couple…

Commercials for boomers are more insufferable than boomers complaining about the way “things used to be”.

I will say “goddamn” as many goddamn times as I goddamn please you goddamn fool, goddammit.

There’s too goddamn many of them in a 30 minute slot, but the quality of commercials today are vastly better than the ones I grew up with. A veritable golden age of ads. Except, again, too goddamn many of them in a row.

Yeah, it starts off pretty weird right off the bat (Eve was created twice, for example), but it shifts into really weird after the flood.

Yeah...post-flood Genesis gets really weird at points.

Now or in a couple years when all this has finally unfolded?
