Show up at 4:30 in the afternoon on a Monday, on a holiday week, with no appointment, not know the name of the company you're at and ask for specific information about projects and ask for a tour.

 

 

Yeah... that didn't go so well for the young fellow.

 

I thought it showed initiative :(

 

Also you dress funny.

It struck you wrong because it is wrong. That's not initiative, it is ignorant, and presumptuous.

I had a feeling you'd feel that way. :)

I wasn't rude to him but I made it clear that he would be getting no tour or much info.

If you're genuinely interested in what we do, call or email me and I'd gladly make time (at my convenience) to give you some info even if we're not hiring (we're not).

I'm just not much on being interrupted. Whether you're selling something or what... Call me and if I'm interested I'll let you know. Better yet, email me... A local IT company sent me an email solicitation recently, and not only did they get a meeting with me, they've done over $3000 worth of business with us since.

We're a small company yes... And our door is open, but my time is valuable... Would you expect to walk in a large company and immediately talk to the CEO in person? No, you'd make an appointment or talk to HR first...

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
