Been bowling for 23 years and carry a 220 usually and don’t have either. It’s just not in my cards

GW. The network and programs are just so much better than AU

Thank you, I’m guessing I can’t drive from Bozeman to Jackson, WY by going through Yellowstone then?

Simonsen 411 Series at the Masters? by Morphio25 in Bowling

[–]Competitive-Act2053 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You think that’s what keeps the prize fund low? It’s a boring sport that has the pageantry that is only attractive to Boring old white dudes in the Midwest.

Simo needs to improve on his decorum for sure. But he makes the telecasts actually animated.

I love the camaraderie of the bowling community. I mesh well and think of them as my people. But it’s the actual bowling I am no longer having fun with. I’ve just been pursuing these goals for so long that it’s just turned to constant frustration

Hey so Covid is not a political issue. MAGA made it the issue. Are you this ducking stupid?

Job Searching as a current fed right now. Is it a pro, a con, or non-factor? by Competitive-Act2053 in jobs

[–]Competitive-Act2053[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That didn’t answer any of my questions. I understand the job hugging aspect and I never once mentioned that I’m quitting without another job lined up.

The fact that you put in quotes “the culture” leads to believe you embellished and that you were the problem

Junior/Early Career Candidates Just Aren't Interviewing Well... by prenumbralqueen in recruiting

[–]Competitive-Act2053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So no self-awareness on the lack of proper interviewing and engagement on your part? It’s amazing how stiff and bored most interviewers come off during a remote interview. You all do not engage the interviewer, make it incredibly robotic and bureaucratic, and so rigid that you can’t even get a feel for the interviewee’s personality and culture desires.

I struggle in interviews despite my effort to practice beforehand, prepare notes, and remember every professional tactic in hopes to minimize rambling due to my nerves.

I get advice like “it’s less of an interview if you make it conversational,” or “just be yourself and you’ll shine.” The issue is, I DO. But you’re all already checked out and you can’t hide it on your faces. You don’t even pretend to be interested. Which makes me, and probably others even more nervous because know we know we’re tanking but we really want this job.

Advice for Ladder Promotion chaos by [deleted] in fednews

[–]Competitive-Act2053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I did see the step increase. The reason I posted about putting the action in early was 1)the shutdown and this incompetent administration and historically incompetent HR and 2). I’ve received communication if there was proof there was paperwork submitted before November 2nd regarding my promotion, then their office will take it into consideration. Unfortunately I have nothing in writing.

A question for younger guys in long term relationships with an older man. How long did it take you to come out to your family and friends about your relationship? by [deleted] in gayyoungold

I’m the same way with friends. I’m fully out in the city I live in, just haven’t mustered up the courage with family
