lol. Wow.

Ohhhhh man. My friend’s father used to drive a Tempo to work. That thing was a steaming POS.

Great point. I can see that being a big draw.

I’m of the same mind. Luckily my entire family is fairly skeptical of things like this. While we want to know more about our ancestry (we know the culture we’re from as it’s pretty well documented, we would like to hone down where exactly we’re most likely from. Our last name hints at it in the region but it’s still unclear.) I would rather travel across the ocean and do manual research than give my DNA to any of the ancestry companies.

I hate those too. Especially on Murder She Wrote. I skipped every one of them.

I use my phone or watch as my clock or alarm but I have a rule to not look at the time if I wake up early. If I’m not wide awake I go back to sleep until my alarm goes off. It’s bliss even if it’s only for 15 more minutes since I wouldn’t know how long I’ve been out again.

When buying our first house in 2008 the mortgage company was pushing us to buy more by saying, “why are you purchasing this house at $197,000 when you can afford twice that?” My response was, “we’ve done the math, we can’t afford twice as much.” Never listen to a mortgage broker. They all want you to spend more so they make more.

Unless you watch them count your vote appropriately you can’t trust any type of voting so what’s the difference?

You have no idea what you’re missing with mail in only voting. It’s just so much easier that I vote in almost every local, state, and federal election now. I NEVER did that in a state where voting was done primarily through polling stations.

Hell yeah! You can’t even go to polling stations in my state, they no longer exist. Mail in ballot only and FTW! Luckily my ballot drop box is in my neighborhood just 2 blocks away. Colorado rocks. My wife and I also already voted.

I take issue with these: administrative assistants, public relations specialists, airline desk staff who calm passengers with lost luggage, middle management, leadership professionals.

These all exist because humans aren’t perfect. I haven’t read the book but it’s hard to believe the author knows anything about how businesses operate if he thinks a healthy one can be successful without those positions.

Ex. I work for a startup that is growing rapidly and doesn’t have administrative assistants for higher levels. For the most part it’s a disaster leading to a lot of wasted time without them being as productive as they could be. AAs have skills that the regional leaders do not. It’s a symbiotic relationship.

Great point!! And totally agree.

This. I’m in a high paying job now because of this mentality. Started literally at the bottom as a cart attendant in the late 90s. I don’t outperform others because I’m a bootlicker. I do it to challenge myself and grow.

People that put minimal effort in are hurting themselves more than the company.
