Are you implying a man of his age with his extremely healthy portions of daily consumption of diet cokes a carefully curated meal plan supporting great American corporation McDonalds several times a week might be in such a position? Perish the thought.

Indeed. I didn't do them directly. I'd get called in if someone was interesting/funny/etc. Not, "Hey we got this guy super qualified, come check him out.' Never, not once.

As far as who you know? I had to fire my soon-to-be brother-in-law a week into employment. Imagine how well that set. Oof.

I was the COO of a smaller IT firm and have done at least 200 in person interviews. Biggest protip I can give anyone for interviews? Your interviewer doesn't want to be there-make yourself memorable more than proving your credentials. We hire people we remember not the most qualified.

I'll be making a point to visit Frank at his local Lincoln Day Dinner here in the county. Only time he shows up. He won't like my presence.

So Trump is visiting Cincinnati Wednesday. We also have a low risk of tornados. I'm going to just leave those two sentences together.

Well, on the bright side? At least it's some form of intelligence.

I once had a boss everyone called Zeb. His actual legal name was Zebulon. Not a joke. He explained to me with a pained face his parents were big nerds. To this day I'm envious. If by chance you ever see this Zeb, hey! #Siemens

Well, I will give Facebook credit. Their feed is so awful as to be laughable. This isn't photoshopped.

Dry-Drunk Heggy always starts his X's with, "At the direction of..." Well of fucking course it is! He's your damn boss. I guess I don't speak American. #SecDef #Idiot #Hegseth #SpoiledOrange

Passed a Cyber Truck and right in front of it a Porsche on my way home. I'm in a sub 40K vehicle. Life lesson.

Yesterday was a bit busier than today. Today I just get the needle in the spine and you won't find a guy happier to have that done.

...also while picking up the groceries there was a group protesting proposed data centers. I kinda wanted to stop and argue with them just for the sake of a good old fashioned argument. I didn't though but boy did I think about it.

I miss that era of console wars. It was light-hearted. Fun. Now people get too butt hurt over all of it. I guess grizzled old gamers have just been there and done that and now watching fresh troops off to the slaughter.

Dropped Ma off to visit her sister in the home then MRI. MRI to pharmacy to grocery store to pick Ma up. Home, unload. Pack up her library books/recycling. Books dropped off new books picked up-recycle. Now? Sitting down for the rest of the GD day.

There are some amazing guides out there. Start out on an easy setting-makes the AI just plum stupid. Gives you a chance to stretch your legs and sandbox a bit. Also, you can turn off barbarians for the first few times making it even easier at first. Lot of layers but, so rewarding and a vibe.

I've been a Civ addict since Civ 2. I don't like what Civ 7 is at the moment, massively disappointed but, so was a lot of people as they're massively changing it. Civ 6 though, imo, is peak.

Update: On the Civ 6 attempt to beat the game with all leaders? Just marked off Robert the Bruce and now have 9 out of 67.

Remove autoimmune sub in demyelinating disease and I'm with ya. Tho I typically tell people, "It's a bit like autoimmune" vs trying to explain the differences lol

I can't help but think of Baghdad Bob when I see Hegseth. If you know you know.
