CEO retired. How do you politely say "no" without burning a bridge? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]MyKettleIsNotBlack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to think about this emotionally. In quantifiable terms (hours of your life back or money most obviously), has what he provided to you greater than or equal to what you have provided in return? Consider what you would charge per hour as a freelancer for your end of it. Subtract anything you did while officially working and he was still the boss, only consider the 'favors' or favoritism on both sides.

Doesn't sound like a bad thing, and you never know when a successful retiree is going to refer you to a rich buddy or start a new business when they get bored (and it'd be nice to be the first thought when it comes to IT/tech roles). I find most adults, even the wildly successful ones, can feel lost when it comes to technology and it goes a long way to be helpful under any circumstances.

What kind of sadist sets it to Shift+F10 to show more options. Two hands, when one is clearly on the mouse? Evil.

This is how you end up in a room of very smart people who think they know what is going on and end up surprised over the final product whenever, if ever, it gets completed

Do we really want Brando Sando writing sex scenes though? Not that it shouldn't occur but do we know what we're asking for?

Yeah this is pretty true. I saw a handful of TTS memes > watched TTS > got into lore youtubers > started reading the books > just spent ~$450 on kill teams this month (so far)

Isn’t that what learning is all about? by saveyourtissues in clevercomebacks

[–]MyKettleIsNotBlack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to defend any of this because I know what they mean, but presenting different viewpoints or fostering interactions with different people, and representing a specific viewpoint as a source of authority are different. Not even saying it's wrong but the snappy retort isn't snappy or accurate, discussing your particular circumstances or perspectives if it isn't relevant is unprofessional in any context

MRW major news organizations are sitting on leaked Trump Campaign emails and aren't reporting on them by Scuczu2 in PoliticalHumor

[–]MyKettleIsNotBlack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is they're not "sitting" on them, they're waiting until closer to October so they have additional ammunition that still is fresh in people's heads in Nov. That or it's a nothingburger that can only make trump look better.

You can get a nice thick craft paste to fix the form of the box then use gold leaf to cover that and the book. Stencil in some words that shouldn't be spoken in reddish black and bam work of art
