Afternoon to all.
I hope the forums ae back in shape.
The upper management decided to congratulate ua on skating through an audit from the outside with no findings. So, our boss's (sp?) boss fixed lunch for us: hot dogs with fresh onions and relish and mustards (place the condiments on yourself), chips, homemade baked beans, and a celebration cake. Not much, but it was a refreshing change and really hit the spot.
That was nice of your boss's's boss.

One of the things I promised myself as a parent was to be very involved in my kids' activities. So I make sure I go to every game, concert, performance, etc. that I can.

Of course they can. They can also surf the net for Powergirl Pr0n, why do you think they claw your face off when you stick your nose down a burrow.

How are you doing buddy?
I'm doing pretty well, all things considered.
I fired my resume off in 8 different directions, and, as expected, my skill set is nowhere near what prospective employers want. I'm gonna start looking into online classes to at least get the academic-level knowledge and hope general experience counts for something. Meanwhile, where I work, rather than telling our customers we're making mistakes, we're coming up with "creative explanations" (not lying, oh no) for issues.

Uh oh, that sounds disturbingly familiar. {vision shimmers, starts having a flashback}

Still thinking positive thoughts for you and your sett, Badgerman :)

Thank you kindly, Amby. :)
I take it you've had a similar work experience. My favorite part of that was when my boss's boss, the one who wanted the "creative explanation", made sure I was on the same page once she settled on one she liked, just in case I got a call from the customer.

Yeah, 5+ years of it... after the first couple years, the daily Dilbert made me want to cry instead of laugh.

Pork sausages and mashed potatoes with mustard for the former and onion gravy for the latter. Also, some cabbage, celery, and carrots, as this is an Irish pub. English pub would have skipped the latter.
Yeah, because clearly the cabbage is where all the flavor comes from...
What's up, badger man?
EDIT: Rough news. Just my two cents: Don't miss any opportunity. You don't what the guilt, even if its irrational guilt, that can latch onto things like that once she's gone.

I saw that according to one industry watcher, Pathfinder is now the second largest RPG out there, with only 4e ahead of it. WOW.
I thought of it after reading the New Coke thread. But I sure as hell wasn't going to say it.
Hmmm, so it's like Coke came out with New Coke, and some small dedicated micro-bottler/brewery got the recipe for Coke Classic for free... and then came up with an even tastier, more addictive version of it?

Gotta be here somewhere.
EDIT: Ah, HERE IT IS.
Sorry...mistranslation on my part. I was referring to the industry insider comment as a link.
