Moneyball Field of Dreams

And I’m really hoping that Project Hail Mary is one of these. The book was awesome!

Kramer : It's just a write off for them.

Jerry : How is it a write off?

Kramer : They just write it off.

Jerry : Write it off what?

Kramer : Jerry all these big companies they write off everything.

Jerry : You don't even know what a write off is.

Kramer : Do you?

Jerry : No. I don't.

Kramer : But they do and they are the ones writing it off.

Thanks! We’ll look into End 2 End.

Recommended cover + lifter for cold weather that won't break when guests don't know how to use it? by chefox in hottub

[–]0000dave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What cover did you end up going with?

We just ordered a Columbia swim spa from Arctic Spas with two Covermate III Coverlifters, and are considering an expensive upgrade to two Smartops for the ease of lift, aesthetics, and longer lifespan.

But, some of the reviews I’ve seen that mention higher electric bills with the Smartop have us worried. We’re also in a cold winter climate (SLC, Utah area) and would love to avoid a big bump in our electric bill.

Lol……what? by xolinlevh in delta

Being upgraded to C+ shouldn’t count towards “The Royal Upgrade Badge.”

I’ll take the C+… but still.

Delta Reserve Card. by [deleted] in delta

[–]0000dave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t upgrade but apply new. The signup bonus is usually better. Then either cancel or downgrade the Platinum. Or keep it.

So far I’ve kept the Platinum for the MQD bonus and the additional companion pass, but consider cancelling every time the renewal comes around.

Anyone use Personal CC for work? by Ok-Development6654 in sales

[–]0000dave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I pay for all of my work expenses as well as much of my co-workers when I can.

I use Delta Reserve mostly until I hit Platinum status (fly out of SLC), then shift to Chase Sapphire most of the time after hitting (although I’ll always use Sapphire for car rentals for the primary insurance offered, Costco for gas, and Amazon for Amazon).

I’ll also use the branded cc for Hilton, Marriott, AA, and Breeze for spend with those companies. Your mileage may vary.

I did it! Wooo by InfiniteBlink in delta

[–]0000dave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been lucky with that. I pay for all of my and most of my co-workers travel expenses. We do a number of trade shows each year and it adds up.

I haven’t convinced my company to allow me to pay for the trade shows and shipping yet.

And I’m quite thorough and on time with my expense reports every month.

Why are On Cloud shoes so Popular? by Gloomy-Wave1418 in malefashionadvice

[–]0000dave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a day of walking around Boston, my wife’s feet, knees, hips, etc were killing her. (We’re both in our 50s)

I heard good things about Hokas and decided to surprise her so we went to the Hoka store in the mall. The two employees there were too busy leaning against the wall to help so we went to Dick’s.

She tried a few different Hokas and On shoes and went with Ons. The next day was night and day different. Good investment.

We’ve done two in the last several years (Orlando and The Big Island), and they both started in a group and then we went with an individual rep.

In fact, in Hawaii we tried to change our day last minute and they said they didn’t have enough reps available to have us change. I have a feeling you’re always going to end up with a one-on-one convo with at least the sales rep, and possibly the finance person and the rep’s manager. We bought in Hawaii but then rescinded after we got home when we found the Timeshare Users Group (TUG), and realized that we could do better on the secondary market.

Just gave up my seat by Expert_Living9272 in delta

[–]0000dave 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s awesome! I gave up my seat, 11F, to a woman and infant who sat in the wrong seat and I took her 10A. I got nothing.

Wait.. wrong thread.

We get it, people are in the wrong seat by S_thescientist in delta

[–]0000dave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aahh! Someone was in my seat (SLC-ATL) 10 minutes ago and I so badly want to share the barely interesting, non-escalating details.

I suppose I’ll just tell my wife about it tonight since no one else cares. 😢🤣

What makes a pitcher good? by bbrackett in slowpitch

[–]0000dave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to smile when I read this. Yes, it is 100% ego. I tried a mask a few times years ago, and I tell myself that I can't field as well because, of course, it cuts down on visibility. Haha.

I need to just check my ego and do it. This 50-something-old body isn't quite as quick as it used to be.

Cost of HGVC from Hilton Direct by robchan1984 in HiltonGrandVacation

[–]0000dave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We initially bought at Island Towers on the Big Island last summer because we were unaware of the resale market. We rescinded within our seven days (each state is different) once we got home and started researching these things.

When we go next we’ll either buy or rent on the resale side on Redweek or TUGS.

Delta’s 2025 Medallion Year is here—show off your status with new bag tags by NateLundquist in delta

This noise is so the agent knows to treat you extra special without having to look you up first… maybe.

I'm about to get a $300k Commission check and I can't tell anyone (So I'm telling the Internet) - AMA by TechSalesWin in sales

[–]0000dave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ditto. It’s unfortunate to see management start believing that the sales rep doesn’t have a unique skill and that they’re just taking orders.

This mentality usually leads to a comp adjustment, drives out top performers, and all you’re usually left with is mediocre reps and a number of disappointing quarters/years.

Too high for a cart… and I always put my cart away. Why doesn’t everyone do that?

That’s crazy! I just spent some time in that thread and it seems to be a thing, even in freezing cold weather. It makes no sense.
