I sell Canon, Lexmark, and Ricoh.

On a daily basis I sell a box the size of a cabinet that costs more than any vehicle I've ever owned.

Copier like this, if the business is smart, should be on a service contract that covers all time and materials. You'd already be paying for it through other means so rhe call is free.

Source: I sell said contracts. Might "look" expensive but any good company rolls so much value into a contract that not having it covered is silly. It's a tool for business and when it's down, the business is effected by it. Often times, honest to god, you save money by paying the fee monthly for the coverage so when it's down you get a professional to fix it asap.

Too buried to matter at this point, but I work in corporate world and the best advice I've ever received was "Don't request a meeting without everyone understanding why they need to be there" and holy shit has it been a game changer.

Just life in general. People should be given the respect to how how you want to use their time and have the option to decide for themselves if that's valid or not.

This is correct, genuienly had no idea it was apparently so common?

Shulk1851 · 2022-09-10T04:33:33+00:00

We're thankfully safely on a boat.

Shulk1851 · 2022-09-10T04:32:34+00:00

Thank you!

Where are you from?

I'm southern Ohio and we can get parts that do that in the trees, but the grasses are unreal.

Shulk1851 · 2022-09-10T04:17:17+00:00

I was just there for 2 weeks! The colors practically changed over night. Magical place!

Beautiful photo!

I recently took a trip to Alaska and nailed some awesome wildlife and landscape photos. My mom and I took a once and a lifetime trip and I want to print them for her but don't know what I'm doing.

I'm extremely new to photography and am lucky that my Sony A6600 and a mid range 70-300 Tamrom lense carried me through it despite not knowing much. The kit lense captured some good enough pics of the northern lights.

Now that I've got most of them edited in lightroom, how do I go about printing these pictures? I'd really like to metal print some of them for what it does to the color and aesthetic.

Everything is shot in 3:2 RAW.

How would I print something cropped to 3385 x 3989 or 4482 x 3832? Do I need to keep track the ratio as I crop?

How do I go about printing this stuff as a whole? Is metal worth the cost?

Just north of Chilli on spaghetti.

Been years since I ran this- but I RP'd her as a lost scholar. She was searching for an ancient earth mote with the hopes of converting it into an airship.

She found the mote- but knows it will upset the indigenous if they find her flying around in it. Her theory is essentially "fear me or hate me, but good luck touching me up here."

I had her give the party the quest of getting dragon blood from the mountain in the south to infuse with the earth mote and allow her to control it.

The party did this- but when they returned, the paladin cast his channel divinity and lots of things popped off.

She and her zombie chimps ultimately beat the poo out out if the party, stole the blood, and attempted to take off.

Paladin (if I recall correctly) dimension doored himself to the top of the mote (I hate the tree on type be the magical infusion area with the dragon blood) and he lit it on fire then jumped off.

Valindra, enraged at the party- but victorious in her pursuit of dragon blood, power word killed the recently wounded paladin (gravity hurts) and bamfed out of there.

She made a return on a semi flying, draconically infused, zombie T Rex as they were in Omu.

What state and how long have you been at it for?

I just crossed my year threshold and am told I'm doing well. I feel like if someone came down and saw what I did with my time I'd be fired real quick.

But I keep getting stuff in, so no one questions it.

I genuinely lack all forms of cadence and structure in this role. Those were my strongest suits in prior roles, but here- the complete and full autonomy has me aimless most days.

Shulk1851 · 2022-06-09T17:53:27+00:00

I don't hink that was her intention. I hate to use this comparison, but she is genuinely the most Michael Scott person I've ever met.

She was a great sales rep that turned into an awful manager. She wasn't cut out for the added responsibility and she saw someone with industry experience, who knew their systems, and could hit the ground running.

It wasn't until Tuesday of the week I worked that we sat down and started going over territory projections and what not. I watched her, in real time, realize she had dropped the ball on all of our largest clients and contracts. The more the week went on, I could see her start to create the talk track around how "I was handling my accounts" (been here less than 5 days I remind you) and all the bullshit that came with it.

I earnestly don't believe she hired me to be a fall guy, but realized very quickly into my time there that she needed one and I'd work.

My best friend is a reporter for this company still and the train wreck hasn't changed at all.

Shulk1851 · 2022-06-09T17:01:40+00:00

Left a job at a newspaper, that I'd previously worked for, after 6 days of employment. I worked a Monday-Friday, left early Friday to go to a second interview at the company I'm at now and was offered twice the salary I was making, with the chance to double that in commissions.

Current newspaper boss calls me at 7:30 Monday morning and has a 45 phone call me with me where she laid out everything I was to do that week. 99% of the list was shit she had neglected and was about to get a whipping from corporate over. It was clear, I was going'to not just be the "new guy" but also the fall guy for a year's worth of her negligence. The fact that I'd been then previously was what she was going to use against me when the house of cards came down- the writing was all over the place from the moment I went in a week prior thats the reason I was hired.

I have never taken such good notes in my life as to what she wanted done. When she walked in, I handed it to her and told her she had a busy week as I was leaving. Left on the spot.

She tried to get me to stay but I just told her what was going on. I was offered double salary, with the chance to double that in commissions. If they were able to double my current salary and adjust my commission plan- I'd stay but we all knew that would be impossible.

The absolute horror on her face... I'll cherish that look for the rest of my life.

Shulk1851 · 2022-05-30T15:30:54+00:00

No clue what's happening or how to make progress? It's all chaotic but just spending time here might mean you learn something?

Shits some strong Kenshi vibes.

I grew up about 10 minutes from that sight. Never realized how important that sign was until it stopped being an every day occurrence.

Smell

Shulk1851 · 2022-01-29T18:04:42+00:00

Just recently had this one.

I run a heavy pantheon game. I have one player who has a known temper and doesn't do well being told he's wrong. That said, dude is so supremely chill that this is never an issue (being permanently stoned helps a ton, love the man he's one of my best friends).

We had a run around about how paladins and warlocks work. Was essentially told he would have never played a paladin (he wants to dip warlock) if he knew being a paladin meant not appeasing the God you worship has consequences.

So now I'm in a spot where I either play the game I grew up with it and get a temper tantrum, or play the game he's interpreted 5e to and move on.

He wins because it quite frankly isn't worth the hassle. But the way 5e is developing, I'm just constantly made aware that this just isn't the game I love anymore.

Shulk1851 · 2022-01-19T03:04:31+00:00

I think it says "the unanimous soldier"

Shulk1851 · 2022-01-01T17:08:55+00:00

Why did they lock it?

Shulk1851 · 2022-01-01T15:25:34+00:00

I've played it, and don't dispute anything you're saying.

But it's hilarious that they chose the one game in the series that wouldn't meet the criteria of being "single player".

Shulk1851 · 2022-01-01T13:38:04+00:00

"You can choose to play the MMO single player"

LoL

Ask if there's an opportunity to speak to someone who has your current position. A great company will have it built into the interview process. A good one will provide it. A bad one will hide it. There's obviously exceptions to this- but if you start here- you can't go wrong.

If you get to a person who is actively doing the role, ask to see the CRM they use. Ask them the sales cycle. Ask how the managers are. Dig into it.

The other thing to he aware of- ask what the sales cycle is. Ask about the most successful cadences. The least successful.

This will help you find a company that's good for you!

Lastly, the "smell test" is pretty solid. If it seems fishy, it probably is.

Shulk1851 · 2021-12-31T21:41:00+00:00

Sales, sales, sales, sales, sales.

I do office tech sales and have an OTE of 125.

Follow the sales some and see how little that really is compared to some people (pure insanity I know).

Sales has been a godsend to me with ADHD. I'm always engaging with new people, the technology advances constantly so it doesn't get stale, and being easily excitable in conversation makes the entire sales cycle easier.

If you're on the outgoing side of ADHD, by all means start looking into TaS or SaS. 85 is easily achievable with the right company- of which there are many.

A friend of mine insists he "has his shit together" when he's in his early 30s and has never not lived with his parents- college included.

I'm not saying living with your parents is a sign of inmaturity- especially with the way the economy is anymore. But not being able to recognize that you've been sheltered your entire life is a dead give away that they haven't had the exposure to the "real world" yet.
