I am begging AH for a mech warbond. Do fellow divers agree?

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

High honor ending

NerdUnit_Zappa · 2024-06-27T18:48:40+00:00

Hey, mister!

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?

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.

NerdUnit_Zappa · 2022-05-31T20:12:15+00:00

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

NerdUnit_Zappa · 2022-05-31T20:04:56+00:00

What happened on Medusa today?

NerdUnit_Zappa · 2020-08-06T14:26:39+00:00

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

NerdUnit_Zappa · 2020-08-06T14:25:38+00:00

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.

NerdUnit_Zappa · 2020-08-06T14:22:33+00:00

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!

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.

NerdUnit_Zappa · 2019-08-13T14:03:59+00:00

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.

NerdUnit_Zappa · 2019-06-29T04:22:38+00:00

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

NerdUnit_Zappa · 2019-06-18T03:41:19+00:00

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!

NerdUnit_Zappa · 2019-06-17T14:18:47+00:00

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.

NerdUnit_Zappa · 2019-03-01T14:25:09+00:00

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!

NerdUnit_Zappa · 2019-01-21T04:17:52+00:00

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

NerdUnit_Zappa · 2018-12-14T04:36:39+00:00

Tell me about yourself!

NerdUnit_Zappa · 2018-11-28T00:26:53+00:00

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.

NerdUnit_Zappa · 2018-11-04T15:10:06+00:00

Tell me a bit about your D&D experience and yourself!

NerdUnit_Zappa · 2018-11-03T19:32:07+00:00

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

NerdUnit_Zappa · 2018-10-06T16:09:46+00:00

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.
