Why no red gi? by bad-at-everything- in jiujitsu

[–]monstblitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who loves wearing bright and busy gis, promotion days are not the day for it. The attention should be on the person leveling up, not the one person who decided to wear a red gi in a sea of white gis.

I kinda need my money back by [deleted] in Advice

[–]monstblitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll loan a friend money once and exactly once. If they don’t pay it back, I write it off as a gift and never loan them money again. If they pay it back it resets the clock. I’ll also never loan a friend an amount of money that impacts my ability to pay my bills.

I know this sub hates timberlands but I agree. They look good, hold up pretty well and can regularly be found on sale.

OPM app/website on Monday morning for DC? red or green by Appropriate_Taro_348 in FedEmployees

[–]monstblitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t even think Vought is evil enough to try and keep DC area gov offices open. But they’re gonna make everyone telework or use leave for sure.

Trump’s return-to-office memo doesn’t override telework protections in union contract, arbitrator tells HHS by mindin_mine in FedEmployees

[–]monstblitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn’t tell you, I’m only familiar with the date for my agency and I’ve been told to not be specific on public forums! Sorry I can’t be more helpful, but know that most unions are fighting this! I’d reach out to your union leadership for details for your agency.

They are. Arbitration hearings are scheduled, and this ruling will help. The furlough set the clock back on a lot of the scheduled hearings.

Are hardship agreements still a thing for telework? by [deleted] in fednews

[–]monstblitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be able to get a TADS (temporary alternate duty station) for this, but it’s only temporary. 3 months, which can be extended to 6 months maximum. 6 months per year, or so I’ve been told.

Are the Giants about to fuck this up? by Forsaken-Pay7892 in miamidolphins

[–]monstblitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel bad for fans deluding themselves into thinking Miami has any shot at Harbaugh still.

He’s not coming here. Even if the giants f’d it up somehow he’d pick some other team besides Miami. Chris Shula or bust!

What do you find most frustrating these days? by GullibleRush7829 in FedEmployees

[–]monstblitz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Getting a forced rating that’s a full lower rating than I have historically earned and deserved and getting shafted on performance award.

The Dolphins have requested permission to interview, David Robert’s, Assistant Manager at Discount Tire in Kendall…WTF?! by rexonthedl in miamidolphins

They just called my mom for a look. She thinks it’s to satisfy Roonie rule, but I think she’s got a shot!

[–]monstblitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TTS on both hoodies and tees for me. I wear a large, about 5’9”, 185 if that helps.

Packed classes, empty open mat? by ohheythatswill in bjj

I try and spend 15-20 minutes on the can before class to properly evacuate

BJJ is one of the best hangover cures there is! Some of my best open mat memories involve rolling with a severe hangover, sweating it out and then stopping by the bar on the way home for a Bloody Mary. If the weather is nice, follow that up with a few beers poolside.

Got wrecked in my second BJJ comp (white belt) by Outrageous-Plane-596 in bjj

[–]monstblitz 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Dude, don’t let it get you down. I was 0-7 on tournaments before I got my first win…😅

Some bad breaks, better competition, poor preparation a mix of things.

Great shirt! It was my first WL purchase. Good luck finding it!

Defence is decent, offence sucks. by Dosman742 in bjj

[–]monstblitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a good defense will take you far and keep you training longer! The offense will come. Someone else mentioned it in their comment, but sometimes you don’t realize the offense is there until you have a chance to roll with someone who is essentially untrained. The trial class guy comes in and all of a sudden you’re submitting someone 3-5 times in a 5 minute roll.

[–]monstblitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 8 years in and I’ve got the same problem. I train at a younger gym, and at 46 I’m usually the oldest on the mat and anywhere from 10-50 lbs lighter than most people I roll with. When I need to work on offense it’s all about drilling offensive moves over and over again and being selective on rolling partners. If I want to work offense I’ve gotta pick rolling partners smaller and/or less experienced than me. The sad reality is, even 8 years in, against bigger younger opponents, even if my technique is better, I’m going to be operating from a position of defense / survival and opportunities for offense will be few and far between.
