I never resumed my mowing. But I did start drinking craft beer. Does that help?

Cracking the Human Resource Code
COMPETITIVE SALARY
Most of our competitors don't pay much either.
"JOIN OUR FAST-PACED COMPANY"
We have no time to train you.
"CASUAL WORK ATMOSPHERE"
You'll be here very late, very often -- might as well be comfortable.
"MUST BE DEADLINE-ORIENTED"
Your first four projects are already way overdue.
"SOME OVERTIME REQUIRED"
Did we mention that you'll be here very late, very often? And most weekends.
"DUTIES WILL VARY"
Anyone in the office can boss you around.
"MUST HAVE AN EYE FOR DETAIL"
We have no quality control.
"CAREER-MINDED"
Female applicants must be childless.
"APPLY IN PERSON"
If you're old, fat or ugly, that position has already been filled.
"NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE"
This job listing is just a legal formality. The position was filled by some executive's nephew.
"SEEKING CANDIDATES WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF EXPERIENCE"
Due to consolidation, you'll be replacing three people.
"PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS A MUST"
This company is a total mess.
"REQUIRES TEAM LEADERSHIP SKILLS"
You'll have all the responsibilities of upper management, without the pay, title or respect.
"GOOD COMMUNICATION SKILLS"
Listen to management, figure out what they want, don't ask too many questions and get the job done.

At least you work with women...I work with a bunch of dudes. Although we had a Lucy Liu/Akira Lane look alike here for awhile. She liked yoga pants...that was nice...

I was fired from my last job. They mailed me my last check and sent me a letter explaining what fired meant. Blah blah blah. So I had their laptop. Nothing special. I explained to them I had it and wanted to return it. They sent me another letter explaining what it meant to be fired. I put the laptop on a shelf and waited for them to tell me where to return it. That was 11 months ago. Is the laptop mine?
i was let go from hp 5 yrs ago to the week [all of HP Federal dried up here in COS b/c we priced ourselves out of the market]. i'm doing a production deployment tonight using the laptop i kept when shown the door. most bizarre termination ever.
bottom line: the heart wants what the heart wants
go full baller & never look back
If you are going to run on the left side of the trail, please by all means have your ear buds in, and never look up from your phone. You're oblivious while you drive why change now.
it still connects to the Reuters VPN??

I need a vacation. And not like the one I have in a few weeks where we go visit my wife's family in the midwest. I need a real vacation where I get to go somewhere I want to go and do things I want to do.
That's called Divorce
ding! ding! ding!
I don't need a permanent vacation, I love the wife and kid. Just a few days (or a week) away from everything.

So do it.
My Brother goes to Ontario County Park and rents a cabin for the night. Take your bike ride in the morning and return home the next day. $30 for a single cabin, beer and food down the road. Just don't tell anyone how great the riding is there... All trails are bike legal. All of them.

Was the good or bad parenting?
Several days ago, I introduced the girls to Weird Al's "Eat It".....precipitated by trying to get Emily to finish her dinner. I showed it to them on youtube. Now Emily was at least vaguely familiar with Weird Al. (His version of "Black or White"). Eat It was a hit. S I showed them Beat It. Now Grace it fascinated with Michael Jackson. And with all the youtube watching, we got back to Weird Al's Black or White, that uses part of Twisted Sisters We're not gonna take it. So then I showed them the Twisted sister video.

I grew up riding in Syracuse and a lot of the finger lakes areas, this was never on the radar. How would you describe the riding? Foresty? Chunky? Hilly? A little bit of everything?
Kind of flowy and rooty. Mostly fun. Typical shaley western NY stuff. All in the woods. Nothing to difficult yet entertaining. A hot shower after a trailride is nice. Very family freindly.
This made me giggle-

Looks like they've done a lot of work at Ontario County Park. A few of us went riding there about 4yrs ago and I don't remember there being that many marked trails.My Brother goes to Ontario County Park and rents a cabin for the night.

Because of the moving ads at the top of the page, I will never buy a Toyota 4Runner. Clicks from tricks don't mean sales. For me, its usually the opposite.

1092MB of updates, eff you Microsoft, Windows used to fit on a few floppy disks now an update is equivalent to 758 floppy disks.
Try updating more than once every 7 years maybe?
