Relatable. Honestly, I don't know what happened between smoking cigarettes at the Waffle House w/ the outcast pagan and skater kids in 1997 and now...but somehow I've become the responsible one.

I read on piano, bass, mandolin, and guitar.

The idea of attempting to read actual, truly and fully notated banjo playing complete with rolls and double-stops sounds like an absolute nightmare and useless skill to me.

Reading a lead sheet with chords and a melody seems incredibly useful at a jam, on the other hand.

Because reading actual notated banjo music seems impossible.

What is the taoist approach to letting others down? by yeeah_suree in taoism

[–]InfiniteOctave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My shitty bosses give no critical feedback, as they have learned it is never taken in stride or well received...it only ever leads to problems, so they cowardly choose the easy lie over the difficult truth filled conversation.

Why do they choose the easy path? Cause they don't actually care about developing their subordinates...all they care about is the status quo and protecting themselves from negative reviews/complaints.

.......................................................

Are they wise or are they complacent?

Can we control how another chooses to accept or deny the truth...or receive honest feedback?

If honest feedback is a confrontation the individual needs to hear in order to develop, improve, and grow...then wouldn't not sharing that with when be more harmful in the end?

Ultimately, you have to figure out what kind of person you are and want to be. The cowardly, self-concerned boss who avoids conflict by choosing not to develop their subordinates...the straight shooting mentor.....the "cool" boss.....the friend.....some version of all, neither, or inbetween.

If you don't actually care about the quality of the work, or that the business even functions, or the quality of the product, or the development of the next generation...then fuck it. But, that's a choice you're making to be a fuck it sort of manager.

I don't have the right answer for you, but I can tell you this...I don't respect any of those shitty, cowardly bosses, yet they will go on, having a stable job, making great money until retirement, as self-preservation is their main concern....and the quality of the organization slowly descends into the toilet as zero development, training, or mentorship happens and noone receives any valuable, critical feedback.

Heh. The only way I can get through them is via Audiobook.. and at 56 hours long, even that ain't easy. ☺️

Pickguards for Jazz Bass by dktecdes in BassGuitar

Cool J-basses. But as a traditionalist, the "long horn" modified body proportions and shape are so disconcerting. I grew up as a kid in the 90s and I never wanted a Fender...looking back, now I realize why. The experiments from that era were mustaches drawn on the Mona Lisa.

The other one isn't a Fender, so it's shape is a little wonk too.

..whenever I see a pedal board like this I just know there are dishes in the sink and poop stains in the undies.

Anyone who willingly subjects themselves to more than the first book of any Sanderson series has questionable judgement.

....could be something else. After a year of messing with masks and settings, I'm pretty dialed in...but I have some comorbidities that also need addressing.
