  1. Had a chat with one of the SVPs about my performance evaluation last week. Turns out one of the dings against me was because one of my direct reports did the EXACT OPPOSITE of what I (and others) told him to do.
  2. Assuming everyone who doesn't show up in R1, this leaves the following to survive the series: Ando Krennic Saw Mon Everyone else is gonna die. Get your shocked face ready.
  3. What did Williams do to become more competitive? I read they’re devoting their resources to the 2026 car. So the current car is basically the same as last year’s right?
  4. San Jose, CA? Or San Jose, Costa Rica?
  5. Took the kids bouldering and climbing (with rope) today. For whatever reason, my kids are good at it and always up for the challenge. There was one rock face where my daughter got to the top, albeit it took her a while. My boy climbed that like a mountain goat.
  6. To some teenagers, a hole is a hole. I was never that type of teenager. I was patiently waiting for a 10… Then I lowered my standards and ehh… 7s are okay too.
  7. Had my performance evaluation earlier this week. It was the lowest “grade” I’ve ever gotten in my career. I admit that there were some things that I could have done better, but my other contributions were mostly overlooked. When I brought it up and said “it’s on the right side of the page where I put it in my self assessment” my manager looked at it and said “oh” Having a direct report that regularly blew up at everyone didn’t help my cause. It’s been bugging me since. I’m not pissed, just kinda depressed at this point. My entire career I’ve gotten good to great reviews so this was a kick in the nuts. I have a lunch scheduled with one of the SVPs to get his take. Fuck it. Gonna drink some more Japanese whisky. BTW, Nikka From The Barrel is delicious and a steal at $60,
  8. I don’t think you understand the meaning of hot teacher.
  9. Errrr. Steak ums are dogs. Dogs are steak ums.
  10. I had the same thought when I saw a guy on an e-scooter on one of the freeways here.
  11. The Trader Joe’s green chili chicken is delicious, and I am rightfully surly that someone stole mine.
  12. Someone at my office has been stealing my food. I keep a stash of Trader Joe’s frozen food in the office freezer as a last resort. I had 10 minutes between meetings and went to the fridge. At least 2 of the items were gone. I mean, really?
  13. Call me when it gets 2 laser cannons mounted to the front.
  14. Why did I wait 'til today to buy boxed, organic, pre-washed baby spinach salad for $6, instead of spending the same amount for 2 little bunches that I have to clean and wash and chop?
  15. Are you wearing a gimp suit in your fan fiction?
  16. Gotta keep that GDP above 7%. Build / make shit that people don’t need or want.
  17. Note to self. Begin every candidate interview with - "Did you participate in J6?" "Yes? Thank you for your time. Not validating your parking pass."
  18. Needs one of these.
  19. LEGOs were so much better when I was a kid. Inside most boxes, there were good sized generic pieces, 1x8s, 2x6s, flat 2x10s, etc. You could actually build something with them, break it down, and build something different with the same pieces. I had space LEGOs which had a few custom canopies and triangular shapes, but that was it The LEGO models now have tiny, itsy bitsy pieces, and are so fragile. My boy built a Maclaren F-1 car, and the largest pieces (other than the chassis) were a 3x3 flat piece and a 1x6 with a curved top. I picked it up to look, and parts started falling off. I wasn't even holding it hard, just that a lot of pieces were held on by 1 stud. My son wants to KraGle it, and I don't disagree.
  20. Not so fast my friend. Don't click if you haven't watched S2E3 of the greatest show on TV now.
  21. I was talking about both.
  22. You're right, my ex drove a low trim Nissan Frontier (actually her dad's) and she could take a pounding, and was low maintenance.
