Never been to either the old or the new Yankee stadium. Is there any chance the attendance is down simply because people (toursits) actually wanted to attend games at old Yankee stadium just because it was famous? Kinda like a bucket list thing?

I’m sure she’s a fun old-broad.

I love this show. I just find the strategy, blindsides and personalities entertaining.

I used to get carsick a lot as a kid too. My parents were pretty good about it, but one thing my mom never understood was that for a minute or two before you barf most people go completely quiet, like they’re channeling all their energy into not puking and they’re so close to doing so that they don’t even want to…

huh?

It’s kinda like (to a less extreme extent) how Starbucks intentionally writes people’s names wrong on the cup so that people take a picture to put on social media. “OMG ahah they spelled Brittany, Prithany. What could they have been thinking?”

I was in the grocery story a few weeks ago and a girl with a very strong British accent came up to me and asked if I knew where the “loo-roll” was. I had no idea what she was talking about so I told her I wasn’t sure where it was.

True, but I’m a Man U fan so I hope it happens. Then they’d also have 3 of my four favorite players there (Pogba, Mbappe and Martial).

I hear it’s a longshot now, but I really hope Mbappe ends up at ManU.

I used to dip croissants in mayonnaise. It wasn’t until about the end of highschool that anyone told me there was something wrong with that.

I remember my buddy, who was an NCAA Div 1 RB (so he was in unreal shape) would eat SO MUCH during training camp. He would come over in the evening with two cheeseburger and fry meals, a chicken caesar salad, milkshake and chicken strips, then he’d be in my cupboard looking for more. I guess he burned a lot of…

Living in Vancouver, it’s such a PITA. I don’t really want to give up all the other parts of life just to “own” a 2 bedroom apartment.

I’m just waiting for that bubble to burst baby.

They’re fine responses, but my point is there’s ALWAYS unforeseen circumstances in any industry. In my personal example, previous schedulers would assume everything would go perfectly. But then there would be an accident on a bridge that would delay things by 30 minutes. If you average it out over the course of 3…

EXACTLY. One of my first jobs was scheduling home appointments for a home services company (window washing, power washing, etc). It was inevitable that every job would take roughly 10% longer than the estimator thought and that it would take longer to get between appointments than estimated due to congestion,…

My mom is a real-estate developer who has made a successful career by giving realistic timelines and costs for projects. When one company says it will take 2 years and $30 million, she’d say it will take 3 years and $36 million. When the final result takes 3 years and 3 months and $37 million she usually ends up…

Isn’t she like 12?

I had a similar thing at my current job and I kinda bombed it. I was given a PC, however I had been using Excel on a Mac for the past few years, so I forgot the PC shortcuts and even exactly where icons were. It didn’t help that my boss literally sat right behind me so I knew she was staring at my screen thinking…

The once or twice I was asked a weird, out of the blue question, I just gave the most unimpressed, monotone voice and answered in the most normal way possible. I think the interviewers were embarrassed they asked because they knew I knew they were just trying to be funny or different and it didn’t work.

My boss tells me he regrets it. He misses designing his own stuff (he was a mechanical engineer) instead of managing people and their projects. He calls it advanced babysitting, even though he’s a super nice guy and likes everyone at the company.
