I actually use Miracle Whip. I know it isn't really mayonnaise, but it's what I grew up with and I like it.As for who made me the God of Sandwiches? The Lady of the Mayonnaise Jar, her arm gooped with radiant spread, held aloft the legendary bread knife Ginsu-ber from the bosom of LakeFTFYHellmann'sDuke's. Thus signifying that I, by acclaim of all the gods, old and new, shall transcend mere humanity and join all the pantheons as the God of Sandwiches.
Now you have lost all claim to sandwich authority.

I've never been to or remember seeing a Portillos.Vany and I are kidnapping you!
Or, and this is a crazy idea mind you, I go willingly.
I've hidden or been stuffed inside enough hatchbacks in my time.
I don't like mayo or ketchup.
Mustard is the way.

Isn't that what the UK does.I have never understood why mayonnaise was ever adopted as a foodstuff, but that's just me.*throws down gauntlet*
You, sir, have just insulted the entire netherlands!
The UK should not forget its an island, and that we Dutch will manage to get trough the icecaps melting just fine. But if they want to keep londen from drowning, they better keep us friendly if they want to use our technology.

Why It Sucks To Be The Smart One:
:
Managers: You mean that in the default application, you can only see your own administrative processes?
NobodysHome: Yes. It's intentional to avoid clutter. Which is why we recommend that we have a single user for all repeating jobs, and here's the user we use in our classroom environment.
Managers: Can't we make it so everyone sees all the processes?
NobodysHome: Yes, but that's a terrible idea, because suddenly you'd see all the maintenance tasks that are constantly being run, so it would be almost impossible to find your own jobs.
Managers: Overruled!
:
Managers: NobodysHome, our testers are reporting seeing dozens of processes running that they didn't start.
NobodysHome: That's because you changed that setting and granted them visibility to all processes.
Managers: Well, make it stop!
====
I have no idea whether they mean, "Shut down all maintenance processes", or, "Reconfigure all 150 users that got changed back to how they were before."
Yeah, I'm doing neither.
Nearest Portillos to me is a 7 hour drive to Iowa. Pass.
I've got one on the other side of town. The food is good. I don't think it's the culinary nirvana that some people hold it, but it is good for what it is.
The only known interactions I've had with employees are the routine food order and pick up, so nothing on the order that Mark or gran have experienced.
You would think they'd have held gran in higher regard, being The Sandwich God and all.

Where do YOU get off, telling me, my grandmother, and the rest of the people in this thread how to live? Who made you the god of sandwiches?Never told anyone how to live, just said what is and isn't a sandwich.

Pull out the plug?
I traveled to a planet with old Star League tech and THERE WAS A GAUSS RIFLE FOR SALE!
I prompty bought it for quite a sum of money, along with a few loaders of ammo...
And then discovered that I don't really have a mech suitable to carry it. I put it on a recently salvaged Zeus, but the effects were mediocre because after getting a minimum of weapons for an assault 'mech, I had no tonnage left for reasonable amount of munitions. Seriously, eight shots from a gauss, and six from Long Range Missile launcher? That's like half of a lengthy battle. At least it had minimum need for heatsinks. I could strip some armor to get more space for ammo and more weapons (currently gauss, AC/2, LRM15) but it is already less armored that some other of my assault mechs.
I need to decide on some alternative... Rearm Battlemaster? It works fine with current load-out. Put second gauss rifle on the highlander? I would have to strip a lot of gear to fit it... Actually it won't work, there isn't enough space slots in its arm for gauss rifle and no other location can carry ballistic weapons :(
Awesomes are awesome, but they can't take ballistic guns. I don't think that Stalker can, either, and even if it can it works fine in its current configuration...
Decisions, decisions.

OK, I'm a sucker for nonsense like this.
Tuesday and today I've been testing practices for another group.
The manager's philosophy is that any extraneous words distract the student from the task at hand, so the practice is, quite literally:
1. Navigate here.
2. Click this button.
3. Enter this value.
4. Click Save.
5. Navigate there.
6. Click this button...
I'm currently on a sixty-two page version of that. And I have to ask a fundamental question:
"Dear manager xx: What do you personally believe the purpose of a practice is?"
Because honestly, unless her answer is, "To walk students through processes they already fully understand to remind them of how to do something they've done before," I don't see how these practices can possibly be considered of any value to anyone.
EDIT: Our practices have LOTS of explanation in them.
"Now you're going to bnar the foo."
1. Navigate here.
2. Click this button.
This lets you enter parameters for your foo.
3. Enter this value.
This finds your foo.
4. Click Save.
Now your foo is in memory.
5. Navigate there.
Now you're going to bnar it.
6. Click this button.
That's it! You've bnared your foo!

Been there, done that.
Woran, if our respective nations are to have another war (and we're long overdue one), please to sail up the Medway and set fire to Chatham again. It really needs it.

I have Parent Teacher Conferences tomorrow. Which is something I was really looking forward to this year, because I have an incredible group of kids.
But I have one boy whose parents went through an acrimonious divorce a while back, and the mom is refusing to meet jointly with the dad for 25 minutes ONLINE (not even in the same building) to talk about their child's needs.
And school policy for students with divided families is one conference, both parents present. Which his parents were told when they signed the enrollment agreement.
So there's been a flurry of emails back and forth and she's been pooping all over my day.
I'm trying hard to remain balanced and non-judgmental. It's a bit difficult at the moment.

My favorite corporate training technique: train employees today for a new platform you'll implement 3 years from now.
I'm not exaggerating. We have a new platform we've just started using. I needed retraining using some of the reporting tools. My manager said "consult the slideshow training doc we received in training." I pulled up said deck and folder containing it. The folder to house the training materials was created 3 years ago which, my co-workers confirmed (b/c we got training JUST before leaving our old building, 3 years ago) is the right timing.
So I was trained 3 years ago for something I'm supposed to now be an expert with. Got it.
Welcome to the wonderful world of training!
Corporate: We expect the training to be available the instant the product is released!
Us: But implementations take anywhere from 6 months to 3 years! If we train them on it now they'll have forgotten it all by the time the product is actually rolled out to them.
Corporate: Is that an excuse!?!?!?!? I want action, not excuses!!!!
And yes, we really do understand education theory, development cycles, attention spans, and so forth. But we are mandated to do the stupid all too often.

I know you and the Portuguese Hurricane don't see eye-to-eye on... er... pretty much anything, but...
On our wedding day GothBard's parents were going to be in the same place for the first time since an appallingly acrimonious divorce 20 years previously. Without GothBard's knowledge or permission, and completely out of her sight, the Portuguese Hurricane took each person involved aside and told them in no uncertain terms that if they so much as looked askance at one another, she'd bodily throw them out of the wedding, and she didn't give a d*** about any consequences.
GothBard's dad thought it was really cool.
It took GothBard's mom 10 years to forgive her.
But... there were no incidents at the wedding.
TL;DR version: Mom can suck it. She signed the enrollment agreement. You've set the conference time. She can show or not. That's not your problem.

OK. As CY has mentioned, it can suck to be good at what you do.
The other team's manager looked over my testing results, timing, and commentary, and instead of her usual, "Well, this guy is adequate but we won't be using him again," she's given all our other team members, her response was, "Yeah, we'd like to book him for next week, too. And can we have him for a third week?"
Apparently I do good lab testing.

No, under normal circumstances, I find her completely repellent, but I have to give her props for this one. I wish someone had taken my dad aside in similar fashion at my own wedding.

To the non-parentally initiated: it gets WAY better after 6 months. As my daughter just passed 8 months, it's been consistent enough to say: "being a dad kicks ass and is way better than it is tough, even for someone who really didn't want kids."

I want that Atlas II, dammit!
Otherwise, I reached the point where I pick improved weapons instead of mech pieces after the battle...
While playing Days Gone.
After helping to amputate Boozer's arm I helped Rikki build him a kick ass sword prosthetic and then found him a puppy.
I was then betrayed by Skizzo, and right after he said he trusted me no less!
Who sold me out to the War Boys.. I mean, whatever Days Gone is calling them but they're basically the War Boys in Oregon, or at least they were, as Boozer and I flooded out the m&+&!+%@!!&~s by blowing the damn (classic!).
