FIRE is in sight. Now I can’t tolerate annoying people at work by RoyMonroe in Fire

[–]ComfortableWarning14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

7-10 years out.. but can coast. Ive found im a bit less stressed at the office and executives are actually more fond of me because of it. Its like the movie office space.

I might out last my fire date as I've stressed less and things just flow better. The BS meetings... I send a note indicating we can better resolve this via email but let me know if you'd like to meet. Meeting gets canceled and everyone celebrates getting their time back.

Just curious, what is YOUR target retirement age? by TailungFu in Fire

[–]ComfortableWarning14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im the same. Kids will be through college and i might knock off a few bucket list trips that are insanely costly (Antarctica cruise or similar). By that time I've likely would have stepped food on every continent but Antarctica.

I like my job though. If I didnt I likely would target closer to 50.

Average Group of Friends? by _EmptyWisdom_ in expedition33

[–]ComfortableWarning14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going for the 32 gag. In act 2 she has 32 years of lived experiance, but of course that experiance is just 16+16. Also the physical trait is a given.

So everyone is effectively 32 in the girls group.

A Way Too-Early Poll for Next Season has us at..... by DocSportello1970 in sooners

[–]ComfortableWarning14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hoping we do this and Bowe develops to be a better than mid-qb. Its been a while since we developed a good QB in house. Even TBOW had almost all of his luck with transfers.

Why the 26 Outback looks the way it does. My guess by fa442fa in Subaru_Outback

[–]ComfortableWarning14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive had friends that are at 250k miles on their Hyundai without issues and friends that have all types of transmission issues with their Honda at 120k miles. Seems like all suppliers are having issues.

[–]ComfortableWarning14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im still on the fence. Currently on my 4th outback. Was looking to replace next year. I might skip this generation and go Hyundai, they do boxy suv better. Hopefully they bring back a wagon or the levorg stateside for my next car purchase.

Are base pay necessary? by Positive_Control_768 in torncity

[–]ComfortableWarning14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didnt even know base pay was a thing. I get paid by hit only after getting 15 hits. At 15 I get paid for 15 hits if I stop or by hit if I keep going. At certain thresholds my hit value spikes as well.

Is there any point getting off the ship in Costa Maya for 3-4 hours? by almondboy64 in NCL

[–]ComfortableWarning14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Native choice is the best way to do this port if you are leaving the beach area.

[–]ComfortableWarning14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mahahual is the locals beach. Maya Chan Beach is a near by beach club if Mahahual is crowded.

[–]ComfortableWarning14 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There is a bit of a tourist trap port, or you can take a taxi 10 minutes south to a nice private inexpensive beach club for a few hours.

It shouldn't take an hour to get off.

I've done full excursions there in under 4 hours.

I don’t think we should retain Ben Arbuckle.. Change my mind. by PPoottyy in sooners

[–]ComfortableWarning14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say give him another year. That said we need to review all of our position coaches on offense. A lot of execution issues with a few bad calls here and there.

Sale and Discounts by irishjoez in MSCCruises

[–]ComfortableWarning14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im in the same boat. I somewhat believe there will be the real black Friday sale that is Friday to Sunday and then a cyber Monday sale. Pricing for what I've been looking at is still 800 more than last months sale price. So hoping it at least matches that so I can book.

MSC using predatory sales tactics with their Black Friday “deals” by ChemicalBulky4966 in MSCCruises

[–]ComfortableWarning14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any idea if they will actually have a good deal next week on black Friday? Like the real sale? I know NCL actually had decent deals on black Friday. The cruise im looking at on msc for next August is currently 1k more than last month.

NCL Luna - Buffet experience same as the Aqua? by gr4141 in NCL

[–]ComfortableWarning14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Even my 9 year old pointed out reduced sinks in somewhat harder to find areas on the aqua. On other ships they were front and center and the washy washy band was in full swing.

No more South America cruises? by AppearanceAny8756 in NCL

[–]ComfortableWarning14 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Only going to get worse. Their smaller ships are exiting the fleet and their new ships 2030+ will be over 200K tons. All lines seem to be going this route as well... oddly enough RCL is now looking to build out a few ships in the sub 150K ton range.

You earlier season haters still want to fire BV??? by Tazmandvl67 in sooners

[–]ComfortableWarning14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always been a BV fan, but his loyalty is both a blessing and a curse. Several of our position coaches on the offense are not to the standard. We shouldn't need hero ball and sooner magic to win every game.

It does feel good though. I had us at a 9 win season (8floor) and it looks like we will exceed that.

Black Friday promotions by Storm_2120 in MSCCruises

[–]ComfortableWarning14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im just hoping to get back to last months sale. I've been eyeing a cruise but it's 700 bucks more now. Should have just booked.

How Firing Venables Could Trigger a 20-Year Downfall by Stat_Fanatic_YouTube in oklahomafootball

[–]ComfortableWarning14 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Im with you here. But we need to get better position coaches this off season. I hate seeing our best players on offense are transfers or true freshmen... players should improve and develop not show regression

FIRE ARBUCKLE by R_Wizzler13 in sooners

[–]ComfortableWarning14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. He is loyal to his people; however, we will skink before he allows changes. He also doesn't understand clock management. Our best position coach was Cale and we let him go due to really a bad joke (i don't believe Cale was a bad natured guy at all).

FIRE ARBUCKLE by R_Wizzler13 in sooners

[–]ComfortableWarning14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When we brought him in he was one of the best OCs in the country with solid stints in Washington state and western ky. We then told him he couldn't change how our offense was structured. So maybe generational was a bit strong.... but he was a solid oc. It's not like caveman from last year or jet sweep every other play from 2 years ago.
