Takes me back to the first broken mess of an environment I worked in. Change freezes were a day of life and lasted and, magically, nothing would break during that time. Now, those change freezes even extended to…
But author wants to surround themselves with smart people per another of their postings, obviously this can't be done in low cost of living areas...
The overall vibe I got from reading that post and a few more by Nate is "I found success, you can to, give me money to find out how." There are also quite a few posts arguing against typical financial wisdom. Things…
I have always told friends and family to be prepared because you don't know what will come. Often I tell them this when their life and personal growth stagnates. If you stagnate and spin your wheels, don't graduate…
Yea, this is why my IT program had such poor students in the higher grade levels. I would spend 8 hours on Saturday on labs and other students would breeze through them in a couple hours. I asked them if they really…
At least with the tracking, thieves are now using Apple Air tags to track and plan carjackings. With a Tesla, so much focus being on the app and connectivity, it is more likely that a person would be aware of this…
I say look for trends. I assume the best of people, but I am also on the lookout for trends that show the worst of people. If this is someone that you encounter a lot, there is nothing wrong with being wary and…
The option to escalate can severely get compromised if you give your superior the opportunity to approach their superior first. Not only have you given your boss a chance to compromise your position but you won't have…
Not who you asked but I was working full-time and started full-time community college night classes. Monday from 6am to Friday 3pm I was 100% dedicated to work and study, I would get maybe 5 hours of sleep a night and…
I remember this one setup in an aquarium where you could move sand around and the Kinect would read how you have the sand formed and apply geological effects to it. Pile it high, mountain, carve it out, water and…
Yea, got hit up by a recruiter for a full-time position in the US. I always respond "what is expected salary". I get back "we are a small company and not comfortable discussing that due to our current financial status."…
My first exposure to Sriracha was the 2014 lawsuit where a plant in California was causing issues. Queue meeting my now asian wife whose family uses Sriracha in near about everything and it has basically replaced…
In an area where basic retail wages ~$10/hr with some experience, my no wife with no experience was netting $15-20+/hr after tips. This is despite her scumbag employer making her work an hour before and after service…
Over here I have the opposite. I can't stand waking up and will sleep for half the day if I can. Always have been like this. Morning are the worst. Though, I would attribute this to my mom being a major nightowl and me…
Agreed. It is socially cool in areas to either wear or not wear a mask and society is too prone to judging someone for having it on/of. Case in point is being in a Lowe's garden center, outdoors, 24 feet away from a…
protip is to get an area code far away from where you live. If you get a call from that area code, chances are you can ignore it. If it is serious enough, they will leave a message. Butm regarding spam, yea, it is…
Source is Anecdotal. I respond very well to caffeine, though I am a bit dependant on it. My wife, nothing. I can drink a Monster and feel good. I am 6' 240lbs, she is 4'6" and 90lbs. I can almost microdose caffeine…
I quickly got addicted to Monster Energy drinks working at a Lowe's Hardware store across the street from a gas station; always been a caffeind. When the coffee ones came out I would do a 2 for and drink two during a…
I got to this point with games a few years ago. My coworkers (all big gamers) were amazed that I would wait for games to be on steep sale or just play older titles. My first job out of high school was working in a game…
1:1 meetings are just as important in my opinion as an open door policy. Yea, you are my boss's boss and have a lot more reports, you probably get pulled in a lot more directions than I as an IC. I understand why, as…
My old manager had "optional" 1:1 meetings that were decent enough provided folks above him didn't schedule over them. We would talk about projects I am working on, their general status and if I have blockers, if the…
Just keying in on the school portion draining you of energy, I think of just my high school English classed alone. Read a Novel a month and have weekly tests. Between that write a 5 page paper about the literary…
That is the good ole "your just spewing anecdotes" attitude you find on the internet. At what point is a collection of anecdotes studied sufficiently by psychologists and sociologists to where it becomes a "created"…
