  1. yeah we might be in colorado if it weren't for austin proximity of family. both my inlaws are here (wife is a child of divorce) and same with brothers-in-law. without that, i really think my wife is fired up about living somewhere else. japan was an amazing experience, but i don't know that i want that for life. i would love to move to london, but they are all fucked in their own way. finland would be outstanding, though the people there are a bit strange. but ultimately, i'm not sure about moving internationally, but i'm not against it. my kids are both now in high school, though, so we might need to go ahead and finish that here in austin. but once they are out, i dunno. maybe it's the heat this summer, or the political climate of the past several years, but i never would've thought i'd entertain the thought of living permanently outside of texas. i'm getting there.
  2. i really don't understand why yall don't use the political forum for political hot takes. it's right there. click it. post your political takes there. it's easy. enjoy the 24 hour break.
  3. lol, most corporate bullshit executive moment ever:
  4. yep. i'm still here. i'm lucky i'm still in a group with a great boss who is actually still customer focused and does a fairly good job of shielding most of us from the corporate bs, though since im second most experienced on the team, i get the privilege of picking up any slack on that side of things. honestly, i know a lot of you on here are bosses. as the talent of my organization (i'm one of 5-8 people in the world that can do what i do), i deal a lot in that stratosphere are part of my job with my customers and vendors, etc. i know more about what other companies' corporate suites do than my own. however, my experience has been that powerpoint is the lead skill for a c-suite person. if i were to count the layers above me, i'll go my boss, his director, that boss's boss, that boss's boss, then that boss's boss, then the ceo of our business unit, then the ceo of the corporation. that's a lot of c-suite to support those of us making the actual money for the company. they are making the actual money for themselves, and i'm making alright-ish money, but honestly, it's all fucking upside-down. i know c-suite can bring value, but my experience is that good execs are few and far between. .the rest are treading 5 years of water if they can parlay that into a couple of board seats and easy street in general. meanwhile, i'm writing my successful quarterly reports, running one of the most successful products in our overall group, by myself, with only my boss's product (which he shouldn't be doing, but due to staff shortages because of layoffs) does better revenue-wise than mine. from my street level perspective, leadership doesn't really lead. they might expedite in some ways, but for the most part, they seem to get in the way. sales sells. marketing does fuck all. and execs do exec things with no real overall practical perspective into how they fucking get paid. they just see share price.
  5. yeah. sucks, but someone needs to tell our guys that blue is calling big strikes on us so swung the fucking bat.
  6. shouldn't we all be expected to save someone if we can, without a thorough investigation of their past actions to determine their worthiness of saving? I'm jumping in after the drowning guy before i issue a background check on him.
  7. cornyn has the power and cachet to play hardball here. he isn't up for reelection until 2026. make no mistake, he is not a good actor in all this. none of what he does operates outside of money and party politics. frankly, i'm surprised the nra still has this much say after that dark russian money dried up. or did it?
  8. i can totally move this to cloak if yall want. or i could start handing out breaks. whatever. doesn't matter to me
