    UPDATE!!!   I got an offer.    I'll be working as the retirement plan administrator for a mid-sized employer based here in Houston with employees spread across the country.  It's a nice bump in comp over my prior role.  

    This is not the job I detailed above.  I last talked with them two weeks ago and was told what the hold up is.  I'm 95% sure that their offer is going to come in below this one.   I think my work here is done.  

    Talk about a wave of relief.   Nerves really hit right after the offer call.  Wow, just wow.  

     

    Congratulations Mac, that is fantastic news and I am extremely happy to hear it! I've been following this thread since the day you started it.

    Super happy for you!

    My last post in this thread

    Derka acts like I was going nuts personally bullying him. I was not. He was reporting anything I posted that was tangentially related to him to blacklabs.

    The post that apparently was going to get me banned was him saying that there’s no examples of mens coaches acting like Kim Mulkey and getting away with it with little criticism. I said “ever heard of Chris Beard?” That’s it. That’s all I posted. 

    Thats not a bullying attack on Derka. Thats a valid and relevant example of an asshole male coach who doesn’t get criticized like she does. I didn’t insult him, attack him, call him a name, etc. I simply disagreed with him.

    Before I knew of Derkas issues I 100% was a jerk to him. For that I apologize for a 2nd time today. But I promise I have been bending over backwards to not trigger him for at least a year now. 

    The last post on the last page by KaiserSoze summarizes my perspective on the situation very well.

    I truly feel bad about this matter. I apologize to the guy. I promise to keep him on ignore and not badmouth him.

    I encourage him to simply hit the ignore button and never be bothered by my posts again. Maybe if he does that, takes responsibility for his behavior, and nicely apooogizes to immamac then imma will let him stay on the board. 

    Blacklabs clearly wants to help Derka. I honestly do too. But he also has to help himself by taking responsibility for his behavior. 

    That’s my final post on the matter. I find it all sad and silly and regrettable. My apologies for my role in it. 

    He's a deranged sociopath with an entitlement complex who constantly tries to gaslight the rest of us that we're the problem. It's bizarre, he needs to be banned from this community because he's shown he won't make the effort to improve life for himself and just wants to declare it everyone else's problem. It's ridiculous and he refuses to try to improve things himself-l.

    It's always someone else's fault in his fantasy land.

  3. tl;dr

    Just ban Derka right fucking now. He's a cancer and it's not our fault that he can't behave like an adult.

    What happened was Derka thought he could get someone banned to assuage his toddler-level lack of control, which has held all of us hostage for 20 years with his incessant victim rants and disruptive bullshit- because the adults in the room are apparently the problem. Seriously, just ban him right fucking now. He's a fucking cancer and it's not our fault that he can't behave like an adult.

    Didn't belong in the bbq thread, but figured it could go here.  Hancock HEB is getting redone into an HEB Plus and I found out they are going to have BBQ.  I have a feeling I will be partaking regularly.

    Don’t get your hopes up. The HEB BBQ that I’ve tried wasn’t very good.

    Oh there’s a reason I didn’t put it in the bbq thread. But HEB does most things well, so I figure they might do this well enough. 

     

    I've had lunch at the Lake Austin Blvd. location a dozen times or so and it is plenty good. The prices are reasonable and they have a handful of beers on tap + plenty of liquor options as well. It's a nice setup on the 2nd floor with a bar, TVs, and indoor & outdoor seating.

    They also had this sandwich on the menu for a bit as a "limited time only" option and it was fucking awesome

    Sunday - early show - went with the gf and her kids to see Marchfourth.  Imagine the lovechild of a marching band and a circus.  Really fun time.

    Glad to hear they're still going. They came through Austin a handful of times during the mid-late 2000s and their shows were always a great time.

  6. I saw it back in mid-December and enjoyed it. The extra depth with the family and relationship storylines was a nice surprise- good times all the way through.

    It had to be later than that, didn't it? I remember 7-digit dialing in high school in the late 90's / early 00's. I moved to Kentucky and Tennessee for a few years and when I came back Austin had switched to 10-digit dialing, but that had to be in the early 2010's. 

    Or am I just getting senile?

    Austin switched to 10-digit dialing in 2013.
