    Having to train my new boss who knew nothing at all about what we did, while also knowing that they were making quite a bit more money than me was completely deflating. I bounced.

    Several years ago we hired a new Director of Product Marketing.  There was a guy on the team that was totally passed over. He had experience, was really smart, well respected by the team and company, but the new boss hired his buddy into the role.

    First meeting I'm in with the new Director, he's presenting something in front of his team, his boss, and an adjacent team (mine), and it sucks.  His boss (his buddy who hired him) said something about focusing on the 4 P's and giving a new readout in a week.

    About 2 minutes later the guy who got passed over sends me a work IM saying the Director just sent him a note asking what the 4 P's were. Couldn't even bother to Google it before showing his ass to the most senior person on his team.

    My friend spent about 2 months teaching the Director the basics of marketing before he left for something different.

  2. I guess I don't really understand the definition of a vocalist given some of the comments and suggestions.  I would have thought to be considered a vocalist you need great technical skills.

    I would put Roy Orbison and Linda Ronstadt up against anybody not named Freddie Mercury.

    Proper response: Shart thread is that way ——->

    I'll give credit where credit is due.  First comment was "when you're coming 'round first and you feel something burst..."

    And there were 4-5 comments confirming that they, too, we're experiencing diarrhea. Serious responses. I was expecting some complete trolls describing the color and smell of theirs, but none of that.

  4. Just had this pop up from 4 days ago.  Not sure why NextDoor decided to send me an email today about it.

    BTW, for reference, I live ~10 minutes from Belterra, so she decided to send this to the wider surrounding area:

    "Has anyone been sick with diarrhea this weekend? I woke at 1:30 just miserable. I did make coffee with tap water. Wondering if that caused it. Another friend in Belterra is also sick"

  5. Had to take my son's bike to the shop in Colorado after a couple of rough days of downhilling.  Didn't need anyting massive.  Bleed the bakes, make a few adjustments, etc.

    It took 3 days, and when I went to pay it has "suggested tip" on the screen.  Bottom rung was 15% for "ok service".

    Huh?  There's already a labor charge on top of hardware.  So tipping is expected for "ok service".  Fuck. That.  Your business is parts and labor.  I paid for both.  It's not like they cut me to the front of the line.

    I had a moment like the OP.

    Seems there's only 3 places Longhorns sports can go now, if it's going to another sports radio station...... 102.7, back to 1300, or back to 590.

    Wasn't The Horn part of Austin Radio Network with Koke FM? The football and basketball games were simulcast. I'd imagine football and basketball are still broadcast on ARN, unless their contract was up.

  7. Not sure how a PBJ is disqualified because it's an "at home sandwich", but grilled cheese is allowed.  That's as "at home" as they come.  And a sandwich is a sandwich. You can make any of them at home.

     

    I'll submit turkey and Swiss with mustard, but not sure it adheres to your rules.

  8. I'll be traveling to Hamburg, Germany in a couple of weeks on business.  Never been.  I'll essentially have most of the afternoon and evening on a Sunday, and then Monday through Wednesday evenings to do what I want.

    At first glance on a map, it looks like it would be a cool place due to all the canals it's situated on.  But the pictures just look like any other big city.  Anyone have recs on things to do, places to eat, etc.  I do like jogging, so any cool parks or areas of town to jog in the evening would be appreciated as well.

    Now that's a promo pic look that inspires confidence.

    Big time suburban dad who is way too serious about coaching 3 year old soccer vibes.

    You sonofabitch.  This hits a little too close to home, except my kids didn't start playing until they were 5.

  10. My wife and I did Amalfi Coast in mid September back in 2019.

    I think we had 4 full days.  Departed Rome and arrived in afternoon.  Don't remember what we did for the afternoon.

    Drove to Pompeii for one day.

    Capri for a day, then farted around the town of Amalfi for a couple of hours upon return.

    Hiked Path of the Gods one day with a late lunch close to Positano, then hiked back.

    Walked around one day exploring.  Found a cool place for lunch.  Hung out on beach.

    Then 5th day we drove to Rome and had a full 1/2 day in Rome before departing.  Fun little trip.
