Ken, you got fired by an intern.
I heard an interview where the director said she cast Heathcliff based on the cover of the version she read.uziq wrote:
barely even related to the book. the director had to pull some lame PR move and say that the movie title was 'given in quotation marks' or something, because it strays so far away from the original.
it's basically an extension of the female porno-slop that passes for 'books' on tiktok.
One of the only memories I have of the story is just how terrible Catherine and Heathcliff were as people.
Well im still ascending!Dilbert_X wrote:
The Peter Principle applies to everyone, thats the point.

No, good example of the peter principle thoughDilbert_X wrote:
Were they in the same role for 33 years? Maybe work isn't their priority.
I'm glad that Jack Welsh's entire 40 year career is now discredited. Is 40 years long enough to fail?
I just fired someone that has been at my company for 33 years. Addition by subtraction. Is 33 years enough time to understand it's not misfortune, but a terrible attitude and work ethic?Dilbert_X wrote:
Thats pretty miserable Ken, 'terminating' people because they had the misfortune of poor mentoring and slack accountability.
Thats on the company, not them.
I've been in a few companies with shitty management which blame employees for their shitty management.
Tickets were absurdly expensive. Random cricket game on a Wednesday morning was $200/ticket. Track and Field events were over $700. I only purchased tickets to 2 events.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

Promotion like that sounds more like you being too valuable to get rid of vs. a true merit-based promotion.
Ive given raises/promotions to about 30 people since I started this new job back in December.
This company does not pay market rate for positions, but has a strong company culture and promotes frok within very well. There are two issues with this style -
1) there has been very little mentoring for leadership positions, so I inherited some strong and some really weak managers. Will end up terminating at least one of the 4 managers that report to me.
2) the people who stay arent staying for the money, so they probably stay because no one holds them accountable for the shitty work they do. Unfortunately for them, I will let them go and hire better performers at a rate closer to where the market is. Sucks to suck!

It uses a cheap Seiko automatic movement. Build quality for the movement is top notch, build quality of the watch itself is probably absolute shit.SuperJail Warden wrote:
The red dial chronograph is nice looking. I would be interested in the build quality.
I bought a new watch last week! Nice little Longines Spirit Automatic. I wanted another black dial watch and I like the look and feel of Longines Pilot watches. Haven't had a chance to size and wear it though. Hopefully this weekend.

I bought 30 eggs for $18 at the farmers market on saturday. Previously I bought a dozen eggs at Ralph's for $13.
The prices at the farmers markets here are pretty much in line with grocery store prices with the exception of meat. Maybe it's bc I live in a HCOL area but maybe you guys sound like out of touch boomers tbh

how old is your SAP implementation? Their cloud-based version comes with built in AI. It's not very good, but its there. Can even search documentation if you store that in your ERP.Dilbert_X wrote:
Today the new COO sent out a huge missive, basically we are going to have training to use AI for everything.
Seems we will have multiple bots available, and they will be given access to SAP, sharepoint, teams and Outlook for starters.
So, to start work I have to enter my password four times and use DUOMobile twice because our critical information must be protected, but we are going to throw everything open to an AI scraper bot controlled by who knows.
Apart from that one of the new hires is transitioning F-M. I mean good luck but why do I have to deal with this with a straight face?
One of the old hires seems to be transitioning M-F, at least 'he' goes through phases of growing his hair down to his shoulders, mincing around giggling and walking as if he has a huge plug in his ass. Plus this one is easily one of the most annoyingly incompetent people who get shifted from job to job without actually doing anything useful.
I did get a comfy new chair though.
Now to stop the practice of area visitors taking your chair if you get up for a coffee and they feel like a chinwag with someone else.
Thats rude, probably unsanitary and I don't know why its tolerated.
o365 also has built in AI functionality through Copilot.
Enterprise AI can work entirely within closed environments (not calling back to the tech co mothership) while still navigating multiple platforms, but we both know what was sold is not the same as what was delivered. Good luck!
Lol. Sounds like youve learned to write down the recipe.
Throw em all in a wok and try to see how it works. This could be a top chef challenge

I really like the 30+ layer lacquered finish on the dial. Makes it almost look 3D.

Hit the Yosemite wilderness permit lottery. Been 18 years since I went backpacking there. Super stoked
We are supposed to get "months of rain" over the course of the next few days. Already saw a terrible accident on my way to work this morning bc it doesn't rain consistently enough here for people to learn how to drive properly.
Flooding is expected in many of the fire-affected areas. The coming of Jesus is bringing plague-like weather events. Couldn't have planned a better encapsulation of the state of America.

Oh oh I know! Completely erase her from your memory, MiB-style.
I think the outsized role traditional medicine plays in Asian culture is a big part of that
The doctor will tell you. I have family history of prostate issues on my dad's side and I still haven't had to succumb to the finger probe. My doc tells me every year to hold off.
General preventative care is the most important thing people can do, and it's the low-hanging fruit in American Healthcare that will improve healthcare outcomes and lower costs. Most Americans don't get annual physicals/checkups and as a result don't catch issues until they get more serious.

I have heard many celebrity comparisons. It's weird but I guess that means im at least TV ugly, which I'll take as a compliment.

Living in the city has lead to some interesting interactions.
While walking home after running some guy runs up to me and asks how long it takes to run to X restaurant from where we are. It's 1pm and he's wearing a ratty bath robe, carrying a coffee cup, and looks very unkempt in general. I was very surprised he didn't ask for money. Gave him a time and he starts sprinting away.
Also saw 2 guys drinking a 6pack of beer and watching basketball on their phone which was propped up on a fire hydrant, it's below freezing out.

That happens to me a lot
I start my new job on Monday. Better role, better salary. Feels really good to know my decision not to settle worked out for me.
I bought another watch to reward myself for getting a job. Will post pics when I'm back from vacation
Someone randomly hit me up on LinkedIn about an opportunity 1 month ago. I received an offer letter today.
10 months of looking for jobs, and the job ended up finding me. Life throws some interesting curve balls sometimes.

Saw Tycho and Polo y Pan on Friday. Both put on a good show. Did not know Polo y Pan was so popular with the gays, but it makes sense.

If that made no sense to you, you don't watch PBS or are under the age of 70.

I was referring to your lack of any type of remorse or guilt. No mention of your girlfriend's potential feelings or your own feelings. You just typed out a whole post about a bunch of different women you work with, all of which you want to fuck.SuperJail Warden wrote:
I blatantly post pictures of my girlfriend and me on Facebook. Both girls in the story are my facebook friends. I am not friends with my girlfriend on Facebook. I told her "I don't want my political enemies to be able to use you as leverage." I don't know how much she believes that but she hasn't complained.
Get it together, man!
