This isn’t really revenge, but it’s more of a joke at his expense for the entire neighborhood to enjoy to counter his one bad habit.

Maybe that was me. I’m not in government, I’m in private higher education. We found people get just as much done in 7.5 hours as they do in 8. They also still qualify for full time benefits. We save 6.25% in payroll compared to anyone working 40 hours. That adds up. When people do clock extra hours, it’s straight time…

Yes, I find ballparks to be too random, especially when you are trying to convert salaries to hourly wages, what do you do, round before taking the zero’s off?

Pro tip: Meet the parent first. Take someone who likes you and date their daughter.

Also true for workout videos. They have a ton of fake chapters. My wife legally owns things like Insantity, but it’s easier to pull up from an HTPC than inserting disks. It also protects the disk from getting scratched as they aren’t thrown around the entertainment center as often. I do exactly what gameraboy here…

Agreed, which is why I use phrases like “trying to be quick” “soon” and “it’s an important job that we’d like to get someone in as soon as possible”. I know it’s semantics, but yes, if you were told a week, it should be 4-6 business days.

I’ve got a similar but different situation. We all make good money, but I’m the one who owns a house, is married, and has a kid. I own a reliable used car that goes from point a to b. They lease fancy new german cars on a regular rotation. I pay daycare, they go out all the time in a big city with drinks and cabs and…

My field is a bit unique, but I’d say generic issues once you get to a certain level are salary, relocation expenses, availability to work from home, other small perks. In my field it’s common to have start up packages, lab remodeling, spousal hires, and being brought in at advanced rank with or without tenure.

Not that this was their excuse, but from how you describe it, they made the offer. Sometimes it can take a week or two between offer and acceptance. 2nd and 3rd place candidates often have to wait until candidate 1 is done negotiating and it’s “official”. The last thing we want to do is tell you we’re in negotiations…

Coming here to say just that. My wife is an NP and has a CPR barrier in a little pouch on her keychain.

I’ve had an appletv 2 (720p) for many years, basically since it came out, and for the last year and a half I’ve had a roku 3, so not the latest model, but 1080p. It’s noticeable, on everything. The only reason why I don’t exclusively use the roku is I already have my media hooked up to itunes streaming through the…

If you haven’t found it yet, Make MKV is free, you just have to keep googling the beta key. I use this, then handbrake.

You’re right, but this is an old convo and you replied to Whitson. I’m going to make sure Antknee sees it.

Our instructions are just to “sign in” to 365 and go for it. It’s always worked on PCs, I was just disappointed when I tried it on a mac recently. Obviously I’ll upgrade.

I literally just installed office on my mac earlier this week. I was so disappointed to get 2011 through my work’s 365 account. Looks like I was just a week too early. Thanks for looking out Thorin!

Thanks for sharing. I’m going to have to look harder at myself after reading your post. Maybe I let people repeat themselves too much; I could definitely see that being partially my fault.

In a perfect world, no it doesn’t count. When people’s feelings are involved, regrettably it does... I have yet to work a lot with editors, so I’ve never had that bliss.

This something I’ve been working on for a long time, and with little result. My problem is a matter of comfort level with my conversation partner. I am always annoyed when people repeat themselves, which is often in small talk. My knee jerk reaction is to get them moving onto either more detail, a reason, analysis, or…

I work at a private university and they don’t distinguish between maternity and paternity. To them it’s all just FMLA, which is up to 12 weeks. It’s paid if you’ve accrued enough STD. I got a full 60 days off of work plus I kept all of my 20 days of vacation, 8 paid holidays and we get a gift of time, Christmas Eve…

It was weird, it wasn’t an all out audit, but it was also just on my state taxes. In about January of 2014 they sent me a bill saying that upon reviewing my 2012 taxes that were prepared in 2013 they found that since I claimed one thing, I couldn’t claim another and I owed them like $20. I looked back, and they were…
