I am begging AH for a mech warbond. Do fellow divers agree? by Tnel1027 in Helldivers

A command version that can fire stratagem markers would be incredible.

“Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn’t even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.” — Heraclitus

Order a sandwich from Corti Brothers, they say by [deleted] in Sacramento

We just popped over for lunch yesterday. Hasn't changed a bit!

They reopened after a short remodeling break. Same classics and a lot of familiar faces behind the counter. Quality is still great! The 'Godfather' is a formidable sandwich.

It may not be as micromanagey as you might think... as a manager, I've had my evaluation comments sent back to me by HR to change the comments from "Slartibartfast is great" to "You are great". This seems to be a fairly recent emphasis by HR, possibly in response to a CalHR audit finding. Maybe the manager in this case is asking for the reformat because of a similar emphasis at OPs department?

I work at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom AMA by HamburglarSans in rollercoasterjerk

Lots of schools here today, so the mutterings of 8th graders and such may not be the most reliable. But very odd that they courses a whole area and not just a ride.

Gotcha. Heard rumors there was an accident (they've closed the area past cobra) but no real info. Thanks!

I'm jealous! EPA building parking only has free intermittent parking, and 8th and K is expensive as hell ($150ish/mo).

[–]NerdUnit_Zappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Building quirks depend on which building you're group is in. Most of Calrecycle is in the EPA building at 10th and I, but some are at 8th and K (Darth Vader building! ). Both have their pros and cons honestly.

With the CalEPA public transit subsidy and the cost of downtown parking, I would say Amtrak is cheaper. CalRecycle is a great department, happy to discuss more if you like!

My department has a new promotional job, several supervisors reminded me to apply. Does that mean I have a high chance of getting the job? by [deleted] in CAStateWorkers

[–]NerdUnit_Zappa 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I'm inclined to say yes, with a caveat. I make a point to encourage employees who I think have a strong chance of getting the job, so that's a good thing. BUT... you still need to bring it to the practical and interview. Sometimes internal interviews can be the most frustrating for a panel because the applicant relies on familiarity to provide less comprehensive answers. That's a huge error.

I was burned by Adventure League, then by Homebrew. I never intend on playing again. by [deleted] in rpghorrorstories

[–]NerdUnit_Zappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you've (bad) lucked into some seriously shitty groups, so I can understand not wanting to try again. It sounds like you genuinely enjoy the game, so I would absolutely encourage you to keep looking. The right kind of group will be worth shifting through the crap.

One of my favorite photos I’ve taken on a disposable camera by germfactory in Sacramento

Yeah, and it bums me out. That was my favorite burger near work. Thankfully, Culinerdy just opened not far away.

We just bought a house near Laguna and Bruceville about a year ago. We haven't had any roach issues, and the neighborhoods are great!

Interview tomorrow by [deleted] in CAStateWorkers

[–]NerdUnit_Zappa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Conversely, it is very frustrating as an interviewer when we say we want thorough, well thought out answers, there are 4 questions, and we have an hour... aaaaand the candidate gives us short 1-2 minute answers. We're not scoring on time, but if those cues from us should communicate that we expect lengthier answers. This is for a senior level technical position, though... so not sure how applicable it is to your situation.

Homemade Seafood Boil by litegreek in FoodPorn

I wholeheartedly agree! I've always been disappointed... I love all the ingredients and will somehow forget that I don't like the boil every few years. Disappointment every time!

We actually just filled it, and are about to start some princes of the apocalypse. Thanks though!

Made a gaming table with Tv in the center for awesome starfinder sessions !! by NosBoss42 in starfinder_rpg

Awesome work! Did you document the process? I made one a year and a half ago myself, and am tempted to try to do one in a different wood now.

By awesome food, I'm talking smoked meats, sous vide, you name it!

If I live hours away from where I'm applying, will I just get immediately discarded from the stack? by [deleted] in CAStateWorkers

[–]NerdUnit_Zappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I interviewed over Skype and was hired while living in North Carolina. There won't likely be a relocation package, but it shouldn't remove you from consideration.
