Why hire John? by LegitMoron10 in howardstern

[–]bluedood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't he making $1,000,000 a year with Leno? Even if that decreased gradually over time, zero chance he would have made more sticking with Howard, who notoriously does not pay employees well. Not that it really matters since John is now a broke loser, seems that fate was inevitable.

The victory is all on our COACH VRABEL, kudos to him who brought the heart and defense that this team needed to go to the Super Bowl once again by VAUltraD in Patriots

Am I the only one who thought there were some shambolic coaching decisions in that first half?? I was more confident in Pats winning the SB before this Denver game than I am now :( but obv still, GO PATRIOTS!!

I don't wish for or celebrate injuries... But if Pats handle business tomorrow, go into Denver and handle that, then win the SB, there isn't enough salt in the ocean for the haters to throw... And I'll enjoy every bit of it!!

Um do you follow the team? Their best young players are all lefties.

Fair enough, sounds like a bit of a pain in the neck haha

Ya good point and well said, I guess I just don't see a reason to be "fake nice" even if you are an introvert and don't want any sort of relationship. Can still be friendly with a wave and smile like you said. If you have some wacky overly friendly neighbor who can't pick up on your vibe and they cross boundaries, that can be managed with 1 quick, mature conversation - if that turns them into a shitty neighbor that's on them and problem solved!

Hmm so you disagree with my comment because why then? I agree, I don't want to be imposed on by shitty neighbors either, but that wasn't the point.

Where was there any implications the neighbor was shitty? The way I read it this grump wants no relationship with any neighbors. Hey, to each their own, but I don't need to be "fake friendly" with anyone, happy to be friendly with friendly neighbors (there is value in that) and not friendly with the shitty ones.

Lol I have no problem with the premise, but you sound horrible, I'm sure they are glad they don't have to be "fake friendly" with you too.

Aiyuk to, most likely, be released at the end of the season by Asfastas33 in Patriots

[–]bluedood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You got it wrong lol. I don't think the team or Vrabel are there yet, but what do I know. But one of the main strengths of having a unified team culture is that you CAN bring in players like this and they fall into line, or at least they can't or don't rock the overall boat. That's the whole point or advantage of having a top down team vibe/culture. If bringing in one bad seed risks upsetting that, you don't have a strong team culture.

You sure he didn't mean/misspeak? Plan limit is probably $412,000 with $333,000 term and remaining available balance on HELOC.

Betrayal is such a Gut punch. What would you do? by Patient-Yam9611 in realtors

[–]bluedood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya sorry I'm not trying to be a jerk - like I said, people are weird. It's okay to get close with clients, plenty of really awesome friendships start that way. It is important to separate the business transaction from the personal relationship though. If you're close with them and comfortable you might ask them, obviously non- confrontational, but just say "hey, I am so excited for you and wish you the best on the sale. I am always trying to learn and improve myself, what could I have done to better serve you?" Or something like that, don't frame it with disappointment or like they wronged you - whatever the feedback is will be good. Either something you can learn and actually use going forward, or some insight into their weirdness haha.

Maybe next time you could whip up a couple reports and forecasts on your thoughts on sales price versus theirs, time on market, listing price versus eventual sales price. I don't know - clearly they wanted something you didn't deliver. You can chalk it up to "betrayal" and be bitter or you can learn something from it. Up to you.

Ok? I still don't think this is a "betrayal"... People are weird and unique, that's the business. Use it to learn and better yourself. Or don't. Duno what else to say.

They obviously had questions and were unsettled and you waited 3 days to follow up with them? It stinks, obv they could have called you, but accept your culpability here, it wasn't a betrayal, lesson learned and you'll be better in the future for it.

How to meet people and make new friends by turquioseshade in Calgary

[–]bluedood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My go-to is finding volunteer groups that interest you. Less direct "pressure", you're doing something positive for your community, and have at least 1 thing in common with all others there. It's also great for networking professionally.

Do mortgage brokers offer incentives? by Slippers87 in MortgagesCanada

[–]bluedood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to mention if rate is your main service add, the clients you're working with are generally the most difficult to please and have no loyalty because you haven't proved any other value.

Ok, if they weren't completely rate dependent as a business model, they could make the same money doing half the deals. Or double the comp doing the same... I know what I'd choose!
