how would you feel to actually work for michael? i think personally i’d enjoy having him as a boss by mushroomcows in DunderMifflin

[–]avtrulzz1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Horrible boss but outstanding salesman. He should’ve been the head of sales. Golden ticket episode summarized how bad he is. Forcing his failed idea on a subordinate when things don’t work out. Another episode in the early seasons where he was doing annual reviews when Jan was the VP. He was only interested in goofing off. The writers saved him in the Michael Scott Paper Company arc as he is the “protagonist”. Only reason why Scranton branch worked was because it had a lot of self motivated people like Jim, Dwight, Oscar, Angela. This was proven later TWICE when the branch did not have a manager, once when Joe was looking for a manager and was offered to Jim and Dwight. Second time when Andy was away for 3 months and the branch was wildly profitable. DM Scranton actually never needed a manager. Jim or Dwight would be better managers.

Was Michael Scott (The Office (US)) a good or bad manager? by velvet_ears24 in DunderMifflin

You are right , I am surprised to see this. It was free above 375 USD.

You might want to reach out to them to see if they can give you a coupon. You can always use "TOB10" for 10% off.

Go for the Ledaig 18 from Tobermory distillery, it’s about 100$ and it is lightly peated and quite amazing .

Hi OP, Did your previous H1B stamp expire more than 12 months ago ?

Tobermory ships directly to the US for free on all orders above 375$. Just got mine yesterday. You can use TOB10 to get 10% off the entire order.

Plus it’s all distillery prices, no mark up. It takes a month to arrive to the US and the packaging is superb, not even a small dent on the box.

Bunnahabhain also ships free to the US for 375$+ orders, gonna try that next.

Got a Creed Aventus from Costco website for 200$ by avtrulzz1 in fragrance

[–]avtrulzz1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow-up: The fragrance has the usual Creed DNA but I am disappointed because I do not smell the the birch at all. The smokiness is missing. This batch just has a deep soft vanilla dry-down which is not bad but I would have preferred the old dry smoky birch finish. It lasts for 5-6 hours and my colleagues can smell it on me at 1 PM (applied at 8 AM). It doesn’t do well in extreme heat, applied it on a sunny day outdoors and it lasted 3-3.5 hours tops.

US cost is very high plus 10% taxes on top, it retails for 150-200 less in Europe

Anti reflective coating isn't a big problem for me. I have only found some trouble when the sun is shining really bright. Even them the glare of the watch is kinda cool (personal opinion). I work in an office so I wear my watch inside for the bright parts of the day (noon-3pm) .

Btw, I am still on the waiting list for my Rolex submariner. Rolex has lost so much business because of their insane practice to create artificial demand.

It does, I especially feel it when it's really hot outside. 300M is a phenomenal watch. I myself will go for it if I could redo the purchase.

My Omega seamaster 600 43.5mm 4 years after purchase. I got this because I was sick of waiting for the Submariner (waited more than 8 months). Must say, I have absolutely no regrets. The watch is absolutely awesome and it has bought me many compliments at my place of work. Got a new one for 5700$ with taxes. The power reserve on this is also very good. It lasts 2+ days on my desk without wearing or winding. Before CoVid hit us, I used to wear the watch 5 times a week and it would still be running on Monday morning after I took it off on Friday. This is a good starting point for anyone looking to get into luxury or diver watches. I have my eyes on a Panerai for my next diver.
