You are correct.

For anyone else unaware, the schtick of the account was they’d always rate dogs with ratings of x/10 with x always being greater than 10. It was pretty funny how often people would get upset over this.

They actually have a fairly comprehensive training program setup through their “University.” They also mix in foreign contractors, usually from China.

My dad cracked three ribs while surfing in his 20s. He caught a wave much larger than normal, fell off his board near the top and landed flat on his back.

My sister actually gave my daughter this book when she was young. I thought it was good stuff.

I almost did before the outage. Their pay was pretty low compared to similar positions at other companies though.

They’re about raising the sarcophagus. Those things can be heavy.

Magic carpet 2, the Netherworlds is one I played a ton and think of from time to time. I wonder what I modern remake would be like.

It’s the first game I remember playing with deformable terrain.

I worked at a grocery store in 2003 in California for a short time. I joined just after a major strike had ended. As always, the company was pushing for lower wages and benefits, the union wanted higher. They came to an agreement with a two tiered system, tenured employees got to stick with a pay scale and benefits slightly better than what they’d had before.

New employees got fucked.

A couple months in I was promoted to cashier from bagger and got to see the two tiers. I was starting at $18 per hour, the original tier started at more than double that and went up pretty high.

Not really related to your comment, but I’m a little drunk after a rough day and seeing those amounts just really fucking pisses me off. My numbers are not adjusted for inflation and wages have gone down for the job I did in the last 20 years. It’s fucking maddening.

This nearly gave me an aneurysm.

Absolutely. Anansi boys is my personal favorite of his, but I think highly of all his books.

I’d second all three.

Neil Gaiman is absolutely one of my favorite authors and from what I’ve seen, a pretty great human being as well.

I loved Orson Scott Card’s books when I was younger, even the later Ender books. Unfortunately he’s also a pretty terrible person much like Rowling.

One of my favorite managers once told me while I was struggling with a severe case of imposter syndrome “if you’re faking it well enough that others can’t tell, you might not be faking it as much as you think.”

I love Takis. One of my guilty pleasure trash snacks is a bag of Takis and a couple hazys.

Old joke that’s been around forever: “What’s the best way to generate a random string? Give a first year comp sci student an open vim editor”

One of the best bosses I ever had once told me that people will stay for the culture but leave for money. His philosophy was to try and ensure that money was not a factor in people’s decision, then build as good a culture as he could.

And to be clear, by making money not a factor, I mean he paid well.

I was looking for this one. I went into it completely blind one night and that was a ride.
