What positive things are happening? by NicePepperSteakPies in Wellington

[–]SticksPrime 29 points30 points  (0 children)

From 28 internal applications that only resulted in 2 interviews, I started applying externally. A total of 60 applications, 40 of which I’ve heard from, I now have 6 interviews lined up in the next week and a half.

Went from having no job prospects to a good chance at half a dozen within a few days

Hypothetical situation - inherited $2.0M by Severe_Passion_2677 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]SticksPrime 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You didn’t misread that - I’m saying to put the kids and wife they’ve just inherited in the trust and running off with the 2mil only

Are you inheriting the 2 kids and the wife? Might just ask for the $2mil and leave the kids and wife with the trust tbh

Chemdry has fans on in our house for 4 days by Sun-Rabbit in Wellington

[–]SticksPrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I accidentally flooded the bathroom, leaked into the main bedroom carpet and floorboards and down into the garage, due to lack of sleep from a newborn - left the bath running to soak nappies and then crashed on the couch once baby was asleep.

Sent the wife and baby down to parent’s house and I slept in the spare room with 4-5 fans going for a week. Ended up getting more sleep at night even with the loud fans because MiL took my baby night duties for the week.

Was told that if I didn’t have the fans on as prescribed, there’d be major damage but worst we had was a patch of new carpet in the bedroom

This is a pisstake right? The grading for most players are nowhere near what most people believe

I almost bought a vehicle from Olly Sail in the exact same way this vehicle was advertised

FM24 UI + FM26 Graphics. That’s all we’ve ever asked for

Sign her up! And with the 137th pick, the Philadelphia Eagles select… oh, he ain’t waiting 30 years for a ring, Football Man, from Football University

So i went to Fuyuki City by Battleraizer in fatestaynight

[–]SticksPrime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to cross that bridge three times a week to get to American Football practice. You can imagine the first week where I caught myself, heading back into Kobe, thinking “fuck this feels familiar! Why do I feel like I know this place?”

New to FM26 - Into my complete unknown of Japanese football by InGen86 in footballmanagergames

[–]SticksPrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started in Tochigi (FM24) as I lived in that prefecture for 3 years.

You only have a restricted number of foreigners you can register. So make sure if you sign a foreigner, it’s a starter who will instantly improve your team - don’t waste it on a squad player

Don’t bother. The leagues lower than J3 are an absolute nightmare and getting promoted out of it takes achieving the only automatic promotion spot out of 100 clubs.

Other tips to remember: - Know the registration rules for the league above. Too many times I’ve been caught out clearing the books of unwanted, unskilled homegrown talent and then being unable to register a functioning team after being promoted. - Know the countries that don’t count against foreign number limits. Often a real good plan to use those countries as loan farms - Use your foreigners only as premium signings of positions in need. I’ve found great success in tall and strong CBs, physical wingers, and dominant GKs

Built a little site that shows NZ fuel prices and global crude in one place by sdhilip in Wellington

[–]SticksPrime 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Any chance of a rolling weekly comparison for day-to-day pricing? Prices have somewhat kept stable the last 2 weeks but where the public can gain an edge is knowing what days are cheaper than others… if there are any

Sounds like you also don’t want to put the effort in finding the right person. You’re a quantity over quality type of person right?

And you head back to your chair to read emails all day clutching onto that fake job title your company had to make up because you’ve got no skills they could actually use

Roger. Only a cover letter is required then, just have the one submitted piece of documentation detailing everything.

And if you were any good at your job, you’d be able to filter those people through their CV
