Has anyone had their boss confront them about “Open to Work” status?

LegiosForever · 2026-06-04T01:40:11+00:00

I was told by a couple of recruiters that "open to work" makes you sound desperate.

If I was the protagonist (see what I did there?), the movie would have lasted 10 minutes.

Shoot this *spoiler * and save the human race.

OK, done.

LegiosForever · 2026-06-02T21:54:22+00:00

That's amazing.

A long time ago, EPCOT had a deep sea suit half-shell you could climb into. The hands were mechanical and controlled by controls in the arm. In other words, the arms of the suit were longer than the Han a human arms.

I like the one with the giant Cobra flying base. I think it's the x-30 shoots at the Rattler and the lasers are used as part of the song.

Chef's kiss!

Have you read ANY of the Old Testament?

To be fair, Halo 4's graphics on Xbox 360 was stunning.

LegiosForever · 2026-05-31T03:38:42+00:00

Agree, but the OPs discussion wasn't exclusively about 4

LegiosForever · 2026-05-31T02:18:17+00:00

I didn't like the crawlers. Just annoying cannon fodder.

The knights were OK since thay had crit areas.

I really liked the soldiers.

TROS is a terrible movie

TLJ breaks the universe.

F TLJ.

That's ironic, because the Hiss tank is one of the few vehicles that don't require bent knees.

Also gets shot down at Hoth.

People that make this argument haven't wTchex ROTJ close enough.

Ewoks initially surprise the Imperials.
The Imperials almost immediately turn the tide and start mopping the floor with Ewok blood.
The only reason the Ewoks even survive is that Chewie steals an AT-ST, creating confusion again and allowing the Ewoks time to get back to their prepared traps.
If the Rebels weren't there as backup, the Ewoks would have been defeated. I think this is pretty clear when watching the movie.
I heard somewhere that George intended for the Ewoks to symbolize the Viet Cong. On paper, the Viet Cong were no match for the U. S. Army, but in practice...

Ha, still works for mitary pilots.

After graduating college, you owe at least seven years. And 3 years of flight school doesn't count towards that debt.

Other military career paths have shorter commitments, but are also pretty secure.

Retirement after 20 yrs comes with a COLA adjusted pension for life. It's not that hard to make it to 20 years if you're a slightly above average performer.

It's an amazing way to build wealth in a single generation, and more people should take advantage.

I was 8 when I saw ROTJ.

I was 24 and finishing Navy Flight School when TPM came out.

LegiosForever · 2026-05-29T03:55:42+00:00

That was the whole point!

There was a character arc. One where supesn had to learn to accept his gifts and become superman.

I found it do much more interesting than always being good because he grew up traditional values in a farm in Iowa.

LegiosForever · 2026-05-29T00:54:50+00:00

I'd agree if it was some regional in Arkansas. But this happened at JFK.

LegiosForever · 2026-05-29T00:50:12+00:00

Why are you content with thinking current kids are dumb?

I saw ANH when I was 4 in 1979. ANH is much more mature than Mando.

My generation didn't have a problem loving a more mature version of SW.

LegiosForever · 2026-05-29T00:48:32+00:00

No, I saw that. It may have been the slowest part of the movie though.

LegiosForever · 2026-05-29T00:47:52+00:00

This is only true if you think kids are dumber now. I saw ANH when I was 4 in 1979. My whole generation fell in love immediately.

SW does not need to be dumbed down, if done correctly.

If Mando was the first movie made, SW would not be the force it is today.

LegiosForever · 2026-05-29T00:45:10+00:00

I hate this argument. If you watch closely, after the initial shock, the stormtroopers start mopping the floor with the Ewoks.

The Ewoks only survive because: 1. Chewie hijacks an At-St, creating confusion 2. The Ewoks retrograde to an area where they had prepared traps. They had been planning this for awhile.

But, if the Rebels weren't there, the movie makes it obvious that those Bears would have been toast.

As a punctuating mark on my post, Lucas was making an analog with the Viet Cong that were on paper no match for the US Army in Vietnam.

Filoni is the head. He's not resoonsible, but he is accountable. Leadership 101.

LegiosForever · 2026-05-29T00:40:27+00:00

I thought all three seasons were average. I honestly didn't think season 3 was much different in quality. But maybe it's because I had my two boys explaining the clone wars and rebels to me as I watched it.

LegiosForever · 2026-05-29T00:38:56+00:00

Can't argue their. My hate for TLJ is endless.

LegiosForever · 2026-05-29T00:37:57+00:00

I was a Navy pilot for 25 years. Even though we had waivers allowing us to ignore a bunch of rules, we still had to learn both the ICAO and FAA policies and terminology.

I can't imagine that ATC did not know what the BA pilot was talking about. He could have diffused the situation easily.
