Oh don't get me started on interviews. Statistically the worst way to decide if an employee is a good fit.
Just because I showed up to the interview nekkid!

Yo, seriously, what is with the recent influx of political talk?
Look, I even agree with those people talking, but I thought that was Rule #1 of FaWtL.
If it doesn't stop, I'm gonna bring up religion and sports.
I suspect they realize with Fritzy (me) preoccupied with the ridiculous weather he's been besieged by.
Also, in fairness to Fritzy, it's impossible to keep follow FaWtL when you're working 15-21 hours straight and then have to make sure your kids make it to the bus stop.
In fairness to myself, I didn't say anything political, just being realistic.

I hate getting reference together for an application or resume. Do people really care about these things?
Not if you put "I can shave an angry bear with a skid loader" on your application. Personally, if someone put that on their application I'd want to confirm it, but for me it just means everyone makes me drive a skid loader during my interview.

It's -15 degrees out (not the wind chill), what am I doing? I'm going to go for a three mile walk for groceries.
Don't worry, I'll be properly bundled up, with absolutely no exposed skin.
Unfortunately, that means I'm wearing 30 pounds of winter gear, which is one of the reasons I love spring and summer.
Edit: My mistake, turns out it's -21 degrees outside (not the wind chill).

It's weird seeing other people's responses to this. I've been on hiring committees for 18+ years now, and we've never once called a reference. Because if you can't find 3 people willing to talk about what a great person you are, then it's likely you're not going to be able to make it through an hourlong interview without proving the point. And former employers are useless, because they're all too terrified of lawsuits to say anything other than, "So-and-so was a fantastic employee", even if you find out later that they were fired for gross incompetence.
So no, we don't bother with references, ever. And in all my years of being asked to BE a reference for someone, I've been called once, and it was an unfortunate call.
"So, so-and-so put you on their resume as a reference."
"Oh, did they? It's rather unfortunate that they didn't tell ME about that."
"Oh, they didn't?"
"Nope."

Every time you talk, NH, I want to work for you. You exist in some parallel universe where corporations are run with common sense, and rules have reasonable meaning behind them beyond ridiculous "this is how we've always done it" nonsense, and humans are more than resources, and...just...parallel universe stuff.
Sometimes I think FaWtL is a nexus of universes whereupon we all communicate with alternative realities.

Are you hiring?
LOL. You only envy it because you do not comprehend how mind-bogglingly frustrating it is.
Imagine working for a company where *no one* is required to adhere to the standards; people just do whatever they heck they feel like, so you have things like (all true):
- An application where different pages use different wildcards for their searches
- An application where the same item is called different things on different pages
- Chapters of a book so vastly different that the book seems like it had been ripped from 8 different sources and glued together... poorly
- QA is done through scripting only, so when you navigate to a page it might come up half-rendered because the script doesn't have eyes, so if it could programmatically click the button and the HTML didn't generate any errors, it passed the page.
Now, add on to that the fact that it is impossible to fire someone once you've hired them. We tried. The guy got transferred to another department. 10 years ago. And he's still working for them!
So every time you're asked to work with someone outside of your immediate peer group, you wince and wonder just how bad it will be. We know people who sit and do nothing for two months at a time, constantly saying, "Well, we can't get started until xxx happens" because they know xxx is the very last thing that'll get taken care of.
So yes, I don't have to deal with the nonsense you complain about: I am not required to work 9-5 whether or not I have something to do. I am not required to do stupid, pointless things "because it's the way we've always done things."
But I care about the quality of my work. And that puts me in the vast, VAST minority here at Global Megacorporation, leading to an infinite series of tiny little cuts to my soul as I learn that one more apathetic employee has done one more appalling thing in our application or our documentation, and just doesn't care, and will never be brought to task for it.
It's really not a whole heck of a lot better, if you care at all about the quality of your work.
EDIT: And the *BIG* thing about what I do is that I have been lucky enough to get to choose my managers. And I have chosen well. I work well with my managers, and they are sensible people whose approach to management is, "If you get your work done on time and do a good job of it, then I don't give a rat's patootie what you do with the rest of your time."
Notice that CY is reporting the same kind of success at his job.
Show up. Do a good job. Get a good manager. If your manager's bad, don't stick around. You'll find a good manager eventually.
EDIT 2: And no, all our hires are in India right now, which is really depressing. Culturally, they're not a good fit for what we do, and economically, they start off costing 25-33% of what we do, but they demand 20% raises every year or they walk, because the industry is so hot in India right now. So we choose not to hire at all rather than get a rotating door of temporary staff who walk out on us every year.

My VP (my manager's manager) is the one who made our annual holiday party a competitive potluck, where she judged you based on how good she thought the food you brought was. She's also the one whose idea of "team building" was having her entire organization go to pull weeds at the Oakland Zoo in the height of the summer heat.

Discord. Chat program. Often used for gaming platforms, and very popular for TTRPG as well, both PbP and voice modulated. Also great for free phone calls, though I suppose video-chat with Skype and Facetime and such are more convenient than that. I've also been told it is Steam-like as a module for purchasing games.
I only found out it was a thing a few months ago.

Troops from the British Empire did intervene in the Russian civil war, so it's pretty likely that Scots were involved. (The Middlesex Regiment were there as well. There was a mutiny. Longears were in the Middlesex Rgt. Did they mutiny? I don't know, but I hope so.)

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Garble (Su): Once every 1d4 rounds, as a standard action a furbith can release a barrage of collected words, sounds, noises, phonemes, and random nonsense collected with its Mimicry ability. Those who fail a Will save (DC 15) are Dazed for one round. Creatures charmed by the furbith's Glamour are unaffected by this ability. This is a mind-affecting confusion effect, and the save is Charisma-based.
Glamour (Su): Furbith exude a strange aura that affects different people in different ways. Upon first encountering the gremlin, its glamour attempts to present the creature as harmless, defenseless, and cute, in need of care and protection. Those who fail a will save (DC 15) against the aura are charmed by the furbith for 1d4+1 rounds, and under usual circumstances will attempt to protect it from harm and remove it from the area of conflict, then once it is safe and the battle is over will devote themselves to ensuring the furbith's continued well-being, so long as they continue to fail the save (and/or are persuaded of the furbith's harmless nature and need for assistance, which it will often supplement with Bluff checks). This is a mind-affecting charm effect, and the save is Charisma-based.
If the save is successful, the affected target is forever immune to the charm aspect of that particular furbith's glamour, but the secondary effect is activated instead. On the following round, another save (at the same DC) must be made, but this time as the furbith's appearance becomes something menacing, haunting, and uncanny, making it appear dangerous and threatening despite its small size to that viewer. Failing this safe causes the target to become shaken for 1d4+1 rounds. This is a mind-affecting fear effect. A successful save against this effect renders the target immune to that particular furbith's glamour's fear effect for 24 hours.
Mimicry (Ex): A furbith speaks Sylvan naturally but rarely uses its normal language, instead opting to communicate in a pidgin combination of words, phonemes, sentence fragments, noises, and sounds it has heard in its immediate surroundings. It copies these various sounds completely and perfectly, and can precisely mimic any voice it has ever heard. Furbith can always understand one another, regardless of the languages used during Mimicry.
Link (Su): A furbith can form a temporary mental connection with those affected by its glamour as a standard action, depending on the effect the glamour has caused. This telepathic connection can be refused with a will save (DC 17), though most charmed creatures will willingly fail this save. This is a mind-affecting effect and the DC is Charisma-based, and includes a +2 bonus from the Ability Focus feat. Regardless of the method or result, a successful link lasts for one round.
Those charmed by the furbith experience an empathic connection, where the furbith shares its immediate feelings with the target. It usually does this to share its fear with a charmed victim during combat and its desires for food, shelter, and company in safer situations, urging them to provide it with whatever it desires at the time.
Those shaken by the furbith experience a link similar to a shield other spell, with the furbith as the protected target and the shaken creature treated as the spell's caster, but without the ability to dismiss the effect.
Obsession (Su): Multiple furbith gathered in a single location as a set can combine the effects of their glamour on charmed and shaken targets. For every furbith collected together after the first, all glamour DCs are increased by 1 as their effects combine. Three or more furbith can extend the duration of their link ability by one round per every furbith starting with the third, and increase the DC by one for their link and garble abilities for the same.
At six furbith together, the charm effect of their glamour becomes dominate instead, and its duration is increased to one week instead of one day. Furbith who gather in these numbers almost exclusively use this ability to ensure their protection and that they are provided with more food and wealth, and to urge their "keepers" to seek out more furbith to add to their "collection". Likewise, their shaken effect becomes frightened instead, and its duration is increased to one minute.
ECOLOGY
Environment any urban
Organization solitary, pair, set (3–12), or collection (13–20 with 1–3 bards of 1st–3rd level, 1 skald leader of 2nd–4th level, 2–8 charmed humanoid commoners, 2–5 charmed humanoid experts, and 1–2 charmed humanoid warriors and/or adepts)
Treasure standard (coins, gems, food, stolen trinkets)
Furbith are, at first glance, adorable little furry creatures that resemble wingless, legless owls with large eyes, tiny beaks, small feet tucked into the bottoms of their bodies, and large feline ears that seem to double as grasping limbs. They speak in a garbled mishmash of various languages, cobbled together from words and sounds and noises they've heard, and babble incoherently at one another in a mimicry of language only they seem to understand. Many beings are inherently charmed by the creatures' gentle appearance and harmless demeanor, and this is exactly what the furbith want.
In truth, furbith are shiftless, lazy, conniving parasites all too eager to find someone to mooch off of. By charming unaware commonfolk with their appearances and their natural glamour, they convince people to take them home, feed them, house them, shelter them, and - eventually - to gather more of their kind, allowing them to mass together. In groups, the combined effects of their glamour intensify, making them able to more firmly control their charmed victims and to gather even more patsies, and give them safe places to gather food and treasure and to breed. Furbith almost always cooperate with one another, and only break into separate groups when their numbers finally outpace the ability of their adopted homes to sustain them, usually being willingly divided up amongst their many charmed victims and distributed in small groups to new homes to begin new colonies.
Furbith have an unusual property to their glamour in that if its initial effects are resisted, a secondary reaction emerges. Those who refuse a furbith's charms often report that the creatures seem eerie, unnatural, and even frightening. This is a natural defense mechanism of their aura, intended to disturb or scare off those who are not ensnared by their charms.
An infestation - or "collection", as their "keepers" often prefer - of furbith can quickly grow out of control, as their increasing numbers strengthen their glamours, holding their victims more fully and more quickly snaring new ones, and keeping the few who manage to resist at bay out of fear of the strange creatures that have so bewitched their friends and family. Furbith breed once a season, with females laying clutches of 2-5 eggs that hatch in about a month and grow to maturity within a year.

So this is tempting me quite a bit, but I don't want to get ripped off by the typical, "Oh, this is popular now, so let's release some fan crap that's remotely related to the original.")
in all honesty, I would say get comixology and just read the whole thing there. But yes that is the beginning, and Gunnm works MUCH better when you can read entire story arcs in a sitting.
Also apparently we just need to replace our house keeping staff 3 of 5 called out on a Saturday. Ridiculous.
I'm definitely more used to the opposite, encountering people who don't carry cash at all. I'm usually one of them.
Yeah I hardly ever carry cash anymore.
Weird. Couple came in for room, they "don't do credit or debit cards" Well We have to have one so I sent them elsewhere. Who doesn't do debit cards? Some people are weird.
LOL. Welcome to "paranoid Westerner".
There's a remarkably-large group that's been around for decades (I had to deal with some of them in the early 1990's) who believe that if you use a credit card, your every move is being tracked, and therefore you should never use a card.
I'd be interested in whether they had cell phones...
